Quick Temp Question
When playing CS:S my gpu temp is 84 degrees C. Is that too high? That is the number for in game play after about an hour of play. My game play wasnt affected negativly by the number it just seemed kind of high.
Thank you,

Well for your 6800gt it isnt super high, but its definately a lil above the comfortable load. I would suggest you look into improving your case cooling, because if your gpu is getting hot, I bet your cpu is too, which is more of an issue. And also look into a pci slot blower to put under your card. Works well if used correctly. Cost aroudn 5 to 10 bucks.

Sorry glc, i diddnt want to keep asking different questions on the same thread, t least i am getting better help this way. And Ferrari i have a 120mm at the back of my case, a pci slot fan with 2 fans under my video card and a psu fan a cpu fan a fan on the front of my case and one on my hd. My only concern is that my gpu fan faces the bottom of my case and the pci fan below it faces the top of my case. shouldnt be a problem tho, its running fine. Once again sorry glc i am still kinda new to posting on pcmech, but thank you for answering all my questions to the best of your knowledge, same to you mr ferrarri.

Is the fan in the front sucking air in and is the fan on the back blowing air out?

Yes the 80mm fan is sucking in air in the front, the 120mm fan in the back is blowing air out, the top of my case has no fan slots, however i dotn see a need for them anyways. The side of my case is made of a black metal mesh, i plan on taking a picture tomorrow because the temp of my gpu is starting to worry me, after about an hour and a half of counter strike source i reached 95 degrees celcius, my back fan felt like a hairdryer. I dont know what more i can do. i have a fan in almost ever possible place, and atm water cooling is to expensive for the computer i have. Any help would be greatly appreciated, nothign is overclocked at all.
All i can think of doing is covering the inside of the mesh witha layer of clear plastic or plexyglass to make the inside a little bit more of a vacume. Also i got speedfan to look at my temps but i dont know which temperature is my cpu and my gpu, is it temp1, temp2, temp3, local temp, remote temp, and if local or remote which one!??!?!?!?!

Speed fan won't list your GPU temperature. Generally you can find your CPU temp by putting a load on the CPU and see what temp jumps up a bunch. Use a program like "Prime 95" or "CPU Burn in".

Ok so here is my problem, my gpu temp is reaching a minimum of 90 degrees Celcius when playing almost any game. Here are my pictures of my computer inside and out ( in attachment).
I have done all that i can do whe n it comes to fan slots on my case, there is no slot on the top for a fan or on the side. The only thing i can think of doing is attaching a thin layer of plexyglass to the inside of the side of my case to make it more like a vacume. Would that work??? Take note in about 3-4 days i am replacing my psu with this one(and adding another gig of ram) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182032 And in about 3 weeks i plan on replacing my video card with this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143048 Please any recomendations are appreciated, the only other thing i can think of doing is getting a new heatsink or w/e for my 7900gt(p.s is 7900gt better than 7800gtx? ive heard of alot of problems with it on newegg?) when i get it.( i just dont know which one is a good one) These forums are really great when it comes to help, thanks everyone.

First of all what exactly is that blue thing sitting in your hdd drives. I really cant see if thats the back ground or what. Otherwise your case flow seems pretty decent. A quick way to test your case flow to take off your sidepanel and run the same game and see if the temp is drastically lower. Otherwise I see no problems with your current case config.
Ok issue 2. You are not doing yourself any good with getting that rosewill. It is no better of aunit then you already have. Get a decent unit. I would suggest a FSP/Fortron 450W for a 50 dollar solution. Some other good units would be: Fortron Blue Storm 500W Antec TP2 550W Silverstone ST50 500W <---My personal choice Any of those would be great units. And leaps and bounds better then that rosewill. And ya 7900GT > 7800GTX |

ugh, i just ordered that psu from newegg, so are u saying i should rma it and get a new one? 600w wont eb any betetr than the one i have
? I really dont want to have to deal with the hassel of an rma, 1 day too late to cancel it, and that one only cost me around 60 bucks. And the blue biece that u see in the bottom right is a piece of color cardboard i use just to hide the coords. FROm what i know newegg charges a 15% fee if u want your money back on an rma.

Not if you call them directly. Ive even once filled out that form and later called them, and they erased the 15 percent restocking. And i dunno, its your choice, Im not gonna force you to do a rma (if even possible now) or anything. That is totally your desicion. Otherwise on the temp issue. I would make sure the fan is turned up 100 percent by using riva tuner or the such to change fan speeds. Last edited by Mr.Ferrari; 07-31-2006 at 03:04 PM. |

At startup i often get a beep that says my cpu fan has either failed or misfunctioned, but as far as i can see it seems to be functioning fine, my temps at standby are around 42 degrees celcius.
What is bad about that psu i ordered? it got all of good reviews. And i got it in a combo deal with my ram so they would want me to rma both. But if u honestly think i should rma them both and get a beter psu and pay 30 bucks more plus maybe the 15% charge i will do it. Only if u absolutely incist, i wont eb overcloskign my processor or running sli and most likely wotn be overclocking my gpu like orriginally planned. Last edited by J_ZeFF; 07-31-2006 at 03:28 PM. |

Rosewill's are junk - it says it's a 600W but they are probably stretching that. it's probably a lot less than that.

A quality unit like the 450 watt FSP Fortron or the 500 watt Antec is superior to the 600 watt Rosewill junk. Wattage isn't as important as quality power. I'd be willing to bet either of the two PSU's I mentioned will give more stable, quality power than that Rosewill unit.

The one i bought this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182032 will not hook up to my mother board, there was no ATX12v plug, my mobo is an ASUS A8N5X what kind of psu do i need? will the one i like from newegg work? Last edited by J_ZeFF; 08-03-2006 at 12:17 AM. |

You mean the secondary 4pin molex? Or the extra 4pin in the main connector? Either way your motherboard has both..? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131569
Or are you talking about the eps extra 4 pin? Thats for intel pentium d motherboard which required the extra full 8pin power. You wont need it on yours, just dont use it. Otherwise that forton is a excellent unit. But a even more beefier one would be this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817101516 Tagan u22. Excellent high quality, stable unit. Has been powering some crazy hungry overclocking machines. Either one of those, the forton or the tagan would be excellent. |

I am sorry once again, my mistake it was stuck to the main power cord the 24 pin or w/e but oh well i am rma'ing it anyways and gettign the one that i liked, i respedt you and all of pcmech supporters oppinions and apparently i was very wrong. To be honest i found the plug i couldnt find 4 mnutes after the rma process was filed, So i guess i will just have to get the better one
 Mr ferrari i think it was you who said there was a way to get the rma 15% charge back, how? i asked a Newegg employee over live internet chat and they said it wasnt possible.... |

Ive done quite a few rma's and ive just called them up to do it. They wave that 15 percent charge if you call them personally. I know ive never been charged it. This is from newegg right? They only do that charge if you fill out that form. As far as I know atleast.

yes its from newegg, but u said my rosewill will work for my motherboard? Well how do i get it to work? At the moment for a couple days i am stuck with the rosewill. I have tried everything but all i get is my computer to start up but it doesnt actually work, no picture or anything, there was the main connector and a 4 pin connector or w/e attached to the main power cable, there is room for me to plug all the manl power cord and the 4 pin caple into the main power socket. But on the top left of my mobo there is a socket that says atx12v, on my old psu a 4 pronged connector went into that just like one attached to the main power cable, i tried all different kinds of assortments in between those 3 slots and nothing will work..... Help me plz????
ZOMG plz help me...... Last edited by J_ZeFF; 08-02-2006 at 11:00 PM. |

The Rosewill probably is bad so that is why your system will not post. You said you installed you old PSU and everything works fine. This just means that everything else in your PC is fine and the Rosewill PSU is faulty. Wait till you get the FSP one and see how it goes.

Your psu also comes with whats called the EPS 12V which is a 4 + 4pin molex, also called a p4 connector. Your motherboard is atx 12v. Meaning you only need HALF the the 8 pins. Which means only plug in one 4pin molex(last pic) and not both of them. It should be detachable. http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/5879/psu2lf1.png http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3710/psu3cp6.png http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2918/psu4vn8.png Ya i was bored.  If all that is connected, then it just might be your psu came in DOA. Which, is very much not suprising. That fortron or that tagan would be great units.
