Cheers !

You are definitely correct iulius but I wouldn't recommand to someone to get a 25$ Graphic Card at 120Â°C !

I was wondering if that would be ok... not that I had it that high.... It has no fan. With stock settings it idles at 74C with a 35% overclock (607) and the memory overclocked 223% (864) it idles at 78C and at full 98C. It goes from 78 to 94 in just 7 seconds but then it stops climbing Smile

can't say I see a reason to overclock a video card when you can spend like $50-60 and get one that's like 10 times as fast...

Honnestly its a bit dangerous without fan ,the cheapest will be to buy some arctic cooling freezer gel( sorry cant say it in english , well the thermal stuff that you put beetween your Gpu and the heaatsink )

Buy a good one and replace it its like 8$.

Othen than that idk ^^

Then wait 3 weeks and don't trash a video card for a minuscule performance boost on an already crappy video card...

Can someone please just answer me and tell me the absolute hottest i can let it run before it becomes dangerous

**abfab126** · 08-21-2009, 06:58 AM **#30**
