Anyone else running an 8800 series card? Temp issues?

@Dr.Stevil

I’m not sure if it’s an early revision or not… anyway to tell? I first ordered from Dell in late november. Last week, they confirmed that the card wouldn’t be shipped until AFTER xmas. So I canceled and ordered a PNY 8800GT from tiger direct and it arrived yesterday.

I did crank my fan up… it’s sitting at 100% duty cycle 24/7 at the moment, so maybe that’s the reason I’m getting my temps so low? I just don’t understand how I’m barely missing 70C on full load and still getting lag after X amount of time in game. The card should be able to handle 70 no problem

I ordered the same card at the same time you did I and recieved mine on the 12th.

At stock fan speed I’m ilding at around 48C in an antec 900 case.

These cards are made to handle high temps.
