Using Rivatuner.

[brendanb581]

Right, because my card gets hot during games, i use rivatuner.

THe problem is... i set it at 100 % during games, but sometimes it decides to go back to default on its own.. which means the temps go over 100 oC .

How can i fix this?
:(

does it go back to default after you restart your computer? it would do this if it wasnt running on start up.

Personally i would recommend MSI afterburner much simpler and more user friendly interface

As Finners said try MSI After burner. i find it works better

[Finners]

he's using a nvidia 9800gt its in his profile

Thanks, just remembered that the specs maybe in the op's profile :thumb:

Hi, what graphics card do you have? i.e. ATi.... Nvidia....

As Finners said try MSI After burner, if you have a ATI card then the fan speed can be adjusted in catalyst control center- ATI overdrive.

Hi sorry I forgot to say, it's a PNY 9800gt 512mb.

I have tried rivatuner and msi afterburner and they seem to reset themselves after a short while. I don't know why.

I have heard of another program called evga precision, is that any good?

hmm, what you can do is go into nvidia control panel-performance then click on gpu, there should be a manual fan speed option there.

If you don't have the performance option in the nvidia control panel (on the left) you will need to install Nvidia System tools:

Okay mate.

Do you know if 85 - 90 oC under load is a bad temp? dangerous for the card?

According to Nvidia "Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 105 C"

so 85-90 should be ok but it is a little on the high side.

Mmmm yeah.

The card is a year old now so maybe I need to re-apply some thermal paste. I'll order some arctic silver 5 and replace it and see what temps I get.

I need 50 posts first? Best get posting lol

Also, it says they are only giving away 100? surely it's finished by now :eek:

MSI afterburner is better than Riva. Made by the same people though.

They have not finished yet, and I guess at the current rate you will be at 50 posts before very very soon....

[brendanb581]

Yes, I sure do like my posting, keeps me occupied ;)

I'll get up to 50 today hopefully and then i'll pm him.

Thanks for that link mate, i might do that.

EVG precision is similar to MSI afterburner, but now I use MSI ab as it has been refined since it was released and does pretty much everything that i need.
