Hay Guys,
Just Built my new System See Left menu for details, I have the gigabyte 8600gt with passive cooling and lovin it. Even though this is my 3rd system that i have built over the years, it is the first that i want to OC. So here is my question what Temps are good for for the GPU or should i say safe right now i have not OC and like i said the cards have Heatpipe Tech on them and factory settings are as follows Core 600Mhz and Memory 720Mhz running at 40C to 45C with my nForce at 55C to 68C ? And i am getting some good (well i think) benchmarks.
Second i was thinking about adding them to my Water cooling loop before i OC if i need to keep temps down does anyone know will the water blocks for the 8800gts work on these cards as i cant see much difference between the the two cards but what the hell do i know.... Cheers guys
