Hi,
I recently purchased a Sapphire x800 gto 256 board. Everything with it is great, except that I get extremely high temperatures on it.
AtiTool reports the core temperatures as being between 55-65 on normal load and it goes over 100 on high load. Ambient temperature is around 42 on normal load. I have tried taking off the cooling unit and re-applying high quality thermal paste several times with different application methods, but nothing seems to get the temperature down.
I am not overclocking the card, and in fact have clocked it down just to see if it makes a difference (it doesn't). Is anyone else having these types of readings on their GTO? What tempteratures are too hight for the r480 gpu core?
Cheers slaesche
