Temperature Levels for my 8500GT

8 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/temperature-levels-for-my-8500gt.73891/

When i open Nvidia access manager to view my graphics card temperature, i always find it around 70 when idle.. One of my friends told that it is not a good sign..

I have XFX nvidia 8500GT graphics card.. and it is shipped with a small heat sink.. i didnot install any other cooling system for that..

Please suggest me the solution..

70 Degrees Idle is kinda high. Case is ventilated enough?

one side of the case is always kept open..
i have installed a LAN card in the PCI slot which stays almost 1 inch away from the graphics card.. is that the reason why my idle temperatures are high??

no... is your card XFX ? oh yeah.. thats the reason.. don't know why but XFX cards generally heat up more... though i havent witnessed as 8500 GT heating up..

I too own an XFX 8500GT. Is idles at 62, touches 68-70 only when i play games for a long time.

Mine Galaxy 8600 GT idles at 45-46. [Closed Case]

everyone suggested me to purchase xfx

so.. is there any cheap solution for decreasing temperature levels?

Buy a Rs. 75 Chassis Fan. That can help you lower down the temp a bit. Fix it in a manner that it will blow exactly on Gfx card.
