I recently noticed that in games such as Far Cry, the temp of my 6800 was going upto 65 degrees. Is this OK, what is the max temp this card can handle before I panic ?

Also what is nV silencer and how much does it cost... Can I fit it without removing the stock Gainward cooler ???
 
nV silencers are GPU HSF combos like what XP 90's are to proccy's... The nVSilencer which fits on a 6800 AGP version is NV 5 Rev 2... And you will have to remove your stock HSF...
 
No they are made by Artic cooling... Check out the prices on various websites... www.sidewindercomputers.com is one which ships to India... www.coolpc.com.au is another... And i havent tried one so i cant comment that by how much they will reduce the temps but they sure do... I think Gainward has some awsome stock cooling itself... Before you go in for one... Why dont you try removing your stock and add some AS5 on it and see if the temps drop... Also proper airflow is very necessary with a 6800 series card inside the canbby...
 
Yeah I know the cooling system on the Gainward really is great, i was just inquiring actually there is nothing much to worry, I will be adding another 120mm fan soon so that should improve airflow. Thanx for the info Switch.
 
NV5 Silencer is available in India with Prime ABGB , not sure if they have it currently
in stock with them , also dont know which version of NV 5 Silencer works with
AGP version of 6800
 
For the 6600, there is the NV Silencer 6. And quaddy ---- it is NV Silencer 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.....
And for ATIs , it is ATI Silencer 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.....
 
@Quady...

u seem to b missing alot of posts lately :P

@Anish
Yup available at Prime ABGB....
They hav got all the NV to ATI silencers, except the VGA silencer rev 3(which in ur case, doesnt count)

BTW 65C r really really fine temps on load for ur gpu.......seriously a BIG NO if ur gonna invest to just keep the card 5C more cooler investing 2.5K..........But if ur gonna OC ur GPU or MEM .....mite b useful :hap2:

I used to get temps around 75 but then i did the cable cleaning in the rig and applied an exaust for the Graphics card on the side panel and the nice air flow helped the temp drops...
 
Hey guys, me really having no problems at all, so no question of Switch rubbing salt as there are no wounds ! My GPU is fine and has a fantastic Gainward cooler, but I just wanted to know what the nV Silencer is. I will also add another 80mm exhasut just below the GPU in the free PCI slots.

@rocky - 2.5k, is that the price ?

Well i had asked long time ago whn i had my pro, for the VGA Silencer Rev3 nd had got those prices for the Nv silencer's then......nd as Zhopudey has posted tht link, it says it was 2.5k then....so definately ALOT lower now :)
@Quady
