DO NOT BE ALARMED...I have not recieved any yet. Is there a way with the nTune feature than I could enable to come up and warn me if my GPU has passed a certain temperature threshold? If so, at what temperature do I need to be alarmed?
System Specs
Dell XPS 410
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 (2.13 GHz, 1066FSB) w/ 2MB Cache (5.75 GHz)
Thermaltake TR2-500 watts PSU
3GB DDR2 667Mhz (PC2-5300)
BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB PCI Express-16
250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM)
16X DVD+R/RW CD-RW Combination Drive
Intergrated Audio
Logitech MX1000 Mouse and Keyboard Combo
Logitech X-230 2.1 Configuration Speakers System
Logitech Premium Notebook Headset w/mic
Linksys WRT54G Router
Samsung SyncMaster 170MP
Now...as I am typing this message, the temperature is between 50 C- 53 C (53 only when multiple things are running).
When I am running COD4 at MAXIMUM everything (graphics, etc...), the highest I have seen it so far is around 65 C, but I have created an event log to record the GPU temperature whenever COD4 is launched (don't ask how...I don't even remember how the heck I did that). Are these temps normal, or should I consider increasing the fan speed to keep it cooler?
I could also just buy one of those cheap GPU coolers without having to void the GPU's warranty (taking no chances at all).
