they produce loads of heat at stock speeds with stock heatsink... get a zalman gpu cooler and some ram sinks then youll hit ultra speeds and temps will be acceptable

Well guys.. the card is installed and I just OC'ed it to 400Mhz core speed keeping the memory @ 1000Mhz
It hit 75c under strain!!! I have a feeling that might be a little too hot :\? I don't know though, you tell me?
I didnt see any GFX issues at all, so maybe Im good? Anyone know what the ULTRA is clocked too?

yea, thats too hot! :O
the ultras core is on 1100Mhz and the core speed is like 450Mhz or so im not sure.

Ok, I have a really stupid (i think so anyway) question.
When u OC, ur shit gets warmer right? You can counter this by installing more fans or getting a cooled case etc...but, what if u had a lil air conditioning unit and just blasted it the cpu (while having the tower case open on the one side)?
Would it essenitally do the same thing? Cuz Ive been thinking about OCiing my computer in a number of way, but I dont wanna go an buy a fan and install it, im too fuckin lazy. But I have an air conditioning unit layin around (got central air a few years back) so i was wondering if it would work? ghetto yes, but will it work? lol

Mmm.. well the heat difference overclocked and clocked normaly is very nominal.. always hits about 70c or just over.. the threshold seems to be 150c? Am I wrong?
What heat should I be getting under strain and not under strain for the GT model?

Mine sits at 64C idle and 68C under Doom3 load.
According to the nVidia drivers, shutdown temp for the core is 120C (ouch)
so, I wouldnt be too concerned.
Stock clock speed for Ultra is 400/1100 The Ultra Extreme has a 450mhz core but still has a mem clock of 1100.
Mine probably runs cooler because I have about 8 fans in my case moving air. Plus, I keep my house air conditioned, so that helps a little too..
SycoShaman: Opening the cover and blowing cold air directly on the parts will keep things cooler overall. You just need to make sure the air isnt too cold or condensation will form and that will cause all kinds of problems.

I'm happy with mine too.. It kicks ass in every game.. UT2004 especially.
I mostly get 60fps in Doom3, but I've also got this card on an older board that only does AGP 4x.. So, I know I'll get better performance when I upgrade my board, CPU and mem later on this year..
Still running a P4 2.53ghz with 1 gig of 1066RDRAM here..
Cant wait to get an AMD64 3800 with a couple gig of PC3200 dual channel..
