NVidia GTS 250 - controlling the temperature

[daftfox]

Hi all,

I played Fallout 3 for about 20 minutes while monitoring the card's activities - I noticed that the temperature got up to 61C, but the fan never went above 35% - is this normal? Should I be doing something? I didn't tune anything on the card, just used RivaTuner for monitoring..

Thanks,
DF

That is just fine 61C is not high for a GPU under load.

Thanks rolli - I'll keep monitoring for a few days.. what would be a high value that I should avoid?
