Hello to all of you.

I just purchased a BFG 9600 GT OC. What are the stable temperatures I should expect from this...I really don't want to burn it or my CPU up.
My CPU at idle runs around 33
The GPU Idles around 46
If I play one round of Call of Duty 4 online that GPU has gotten as high as 72.
Is that normal...and to be expected. Im almost afraid to sit and play round after round online if I may damage my brand new V-card or worse my entire system.

I added a 92mm fan at the side but that made the CPU idle temp's go up quite a bit. Help, suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

-Martin :)
 
I think as long as its under 80C on your gpu then its fine.

Your cpu idle temp is fine.

If a 92mm fan just made your temps go UP then check on the airflow... is it like, blowing hot air onto your card, or is it sucking cold air out?
 
yes, adding the side fan caused the CPU temps to raise about 10 degrees at idle... :-( i feel I need better exhaust so that more air is drawn in...if Im thinking correctly...but

There isn't enough room at the top to put a fan sucking out...nor is there clearance at the rear of the case to change the existing 92mm over to a 120mm...but maybe I could fabricate something to work.

Maybe I should just get a new Bigger case...

-Martin :)
