Sapphire hd 5450 temps abit high....

[-RockMan-]

I was fiddling around with my ati driver setting tonight, after I had setup gpu client on it, the ati tray monitor reported the video card is hitting a high of 75c ?
I know that's about a 15% increase in tempature I've noticed in the past month, since I have just a little bit of tuniq x2 left can my video card handle a small pea size of it under the heat sink or should I consider getting a fan for it ?

Same with CPUs, it would need a bead of grease, no thicker than a grain of rice.

It doesn't have a fan on it?

Nope, just your standard heatsink which is the only reason why I hate about this card, anyway since I have to take apart my computer anyway late tomorrow evening I'll let you know if I find a power switch for it.

For a silent version of a card, and folding, thats not too bad. You can just get a fan and have it blow past the heatsink, and it;ll coller nice.

But again, while hotter than usual, its not unexpected for the situation.

Ok, then I'll put the paste away just in case, I'll talk to you later about my folding problem I had pm about last week.

Later.
