HIS 4850 temperature question

[bonet17]

idle : 61 C temp, fanspeed : 36%

when playing callofduty4 = 62 C temp

when playing devilmaycry 4 = 70-72C, fanspeed 59-62%


i just want to know if these temps/fanspeed are fine

I`ve seen worse.
Depending on case and the type of cooler on your card you might find one of the slot coolers on this page helpful.

 

[bonet17]

so are u saying that this is not normal?

 

[jaguarskx]

From some benchmarks that I've seen average idle temp for the HD 4850 is roughly 62C, while peak is about 86C.

My old 4850 went up to 95C. I blew out some dust and temps lowered a few degrees but it was still hot. Idle was around 60C, tho. It was normal for me, but the single slot cooler is inefficient.

 

[bonet17]

ooh..so what do u think, do i need to adjust the fan speed? or just do nothing

Your temps are fine.
GPUs are designed to take a lot of heat, yours specifying a maximum temp of 105c.
Before I replaced my stock coolers, my pair of 4850s would idle around 65c and routinely hit 95c+ with no issues.

If you really want to lower the temps a little, upgrade your cases cooling and/or your GPUs cooler.
If you do not want to spend any $ upgrading, do not worry to much about it.
Your GPU temps are still well within specs.

ok sir..tnx for ur time

Yeah it depends on which HIS cooler you have. It its the ICEQ cooler then they seem a little high but still fine. But if you have their smaller cooler they are fine. ATI cards have always run really hot. Start worrying when they hit 90C

 

[meodowla]

HIS ICEQ4 is good at maintaining temperature... (also MSI R4850).. MSI maintaines below 60 and HIS below 80..

ok i have a 4850 that hits temperatures of 105 - 115 sometimes

is that ok

i realise the machine sometimes hangs when playing tf2 could this be the cause
