ATI Folding HOT HOT

mmaakk · Mar 7, 2009, 07:11 PM

I've been testing the LIMITS of an ATI HD3850.

The card is folding smooth...

5+ months folding 24/7 without a single issue.

OK, so now that's the deal:

Check out the temps the card has been folding for months

I have the card @ my office's computer, so I need it very quiet.

I guess that's a piece of mind for ATI folders that have temps of 60C+ and are afraid of a toasted GPU

No doubt for me: ATI cards are hard to kill

eh the 3000 series can take it, heres just pop the side panel off grab a 80mm fan put it on top of the gpu and itll drop your temp by 29-30 c easy and leave your panel off if your worried about it and if you can download a mod or something htat allows you to increase your fan speed and bump it up too 50%

My HIS 4830 only gets to 63 after 72 straight hours of folding/gaming

Kursah · Mar 7, 2009, 07:20 PM

Nice shadow! Mine will hit about 64C on some WU's, but usually most run about 51-56C, most games run in the 55-61c range. Which I'm content with, I may someday tear down the card and replace the stock TIM with some of the MX2 I got laying around. Those 4830's are pretty impressive little cards to say the least!

mmaakk · Mar 7, 2009, 07:34 PM

Just to clarify:

I do not intend to lower the temps of the card.

And to think I was worried about my 3870 runnin @ 80C.

oily_17 · Mar 8, 2009, 03:36 AM

Yeah my 3870 ran about 70C or so.....but hey it was looking for the tanned look..cheaper than running the heating in the house!!

niko084 · Mar 8, 2009, 04:31 PM

My 4850 stock was hitting 105-110c during long gaming sessions...
Now it wont break 60c.

My 3870 never got over about 55c, but I modded it's fan speed before doing anything else.

Yeah, I guess your 4850 has the stock 1 slot cooler. Really easy to get 80c+ with these.

ATI Bios mod is so easy to do. I don't even bother using software like rivatuner for them.

I'm very curios to know how far my 3850 will go 24/7 @ 100C+.

So far is doing great after 5 months.

chuck216 · Mar 18, 2009, 08:38 AM

My 4870 is currently at 50c while folding, fan manually set to 100%. Guess the heatpipes on this baby really work. For those that don't know my card is basically the non-overclocked version of the Sapphire Toxic, heatpipes and all, though chrome colored instead of copper.

aahhh chuck216 you are just right next to me in F@H rankings hahahaha

mmaakk · Apr 4, 2009, 02:16 PM

What are the Odds?

I'm putting the video card to extreme limits and... the mobo just died

I had to replace two 16V capacitors that were swelling

Sounds like it's a bit too hot in there. :/

I'd give your HeatMachine3850 another six months to live, before it goes belly up...
