Hi guys what is a safe operating temp for a gpu mine is going high as 60 - 70 degrees C 138 - 160 degrees F

Hey you guy's are behind the times lol I posted about this 3 days ago lol my passwords are changed already

Ruggerxi im working on it...... Ok mate thank you

I do not know whats causing it but its getting Fucking annoying

Yep I have been a clan member for nearly 2 years now and Wizid just keeps giving not only gifts but his time as well he is a true Diamond guy. Nice one Wizid

Hey its happening on our ftag1 server as well

Welcome back

Hey Happy Birthday mate I hope you have a great one

Hey welcome to the forums Gatorgirl..

Lol I posted this yesterday.. but its worth posting again to warn everyone to keep track of their credit cards.. Thats why I use a disposable credit card its only got credit when I load it on so no worries..

Just wondering if there is a known problem with our server because the lag is crazy and making the game unplayable.. I did a ping test to our server and the average was 90 min--110 max but in game I was hitting nearly 200

YAY OF COURSE

Valve's online game service Steam hit by hackers Steam is closely involved with the launch of the eagerly anticipated game Skyrim The Steam video game service, used by 35 million people, has been compromised by hackers. Its owner and operator, Valve, uncovered an intrusion into a user database while investigating a security breach of its discussion forums. The attackers used login details from the forum hack to access a database that held ID and credit card data. Valve said that, so far, it had no evidence that credit cards were being misused or Steam accounts abused. Losing trust The defacement took place on 6 November and the Steam forums were taken offline when Valve learned of the attack. At first the firm said the discussion groups were offline for maintenance. However, a message posted to the front page of the forums by Valve boss Gabe Newell on 10 November has revealed that the sites were shut down because of the defacement. Valve's investigation of that incident revealed that the "the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums". The initial investigation showed that the attackers gained access to a Steam database that held "user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information". Valve has not said whether this was the full database of Steam's 35 million active accounts or a subset of that total. Mr Newell said Valve had no evidence that the encrypted credit card information or personal information on gamers had been taken. However, he added, "we are still investigating". He said it had only discovered that a few forum accounts had been compromised and used to carry out the defacement. But Mr Newell added that all forum users will be required to change their passwords when the discussion site re-opens, which the firm is trying to achieve as quickly as possible. He advised users to change passwords on other accounts if they are the same as the one used for the Steam forums. "I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience," concluded Mr Newell. Code changes Steam is a gaming service that lets people buy, download, play and chat about a huge variety of games, only some of which are made by Valve itself. About 1,500 titles are currently available on Steam including Skyrim, LA Noire and Modern Warfare 3 as well as many independent and free games. Security expert Paul Ducklin, writing on the blog of security firm Sophos, handed down advice about what to do following the breach. He said users should change passwords, monitor credit card statements, consider removing card numbers from Valve's servers and sign up for the Steam Guard security service. He also urged users to insist businesses take steps to make it much harder for hackers to penetrate their systems and use stolen data. "Community pressure has persuaded many businesses to improve their password-handling code," he said. Why does this not surprise me........

Congrats Blackcat

Congrats Mate nice one. you will have your hands full now lol

Hey congrats mate thats brilliant

WOW I just ran MSI afterburner and during the test my gpu hit 81*c and was climbing fast Ok its got to be a temp issue my GPU hit 92*c and pcb hit 71*c and my screen started to play up and freeze and the temp was still rising

CplMOFO baldie Cheers Guy's and at Idle cpu min 28*c (83*f) max 33*c (83*f) gpu min 43*c (109*f) max 53*c (127*f) as of 10 min ago I must admit I am worried about gpu temp am I right in thinking its too hot oh and my vid card is ASUS Ok, honestly, 53 degrees celsius is NOTHING for a card like that. Actually, the GTX470 is a power hog and runs REALLY warm...if yours runs at 53 max, you got the coolest one ever... But, if you use EVGA precision, or MSI afterburner, you can run the in-game overlay, and monitor your GPU temps DURING gameplay.....that is the only reliable reading IMHO (trying to help as best as I can). The ATRIX power supply, tho....I'm not sure...don't mean to offend..but it's nowhere close to be a reliable brand....a quality 500Watts PSU would be better than this...the 720watts rating is overly optimistic. That being said, i realize money doesn't grow up in trees...don't mean to offend...a decent PSU is worth $75 minimum... AFAIK, there is no UL certification on this thing. I think the PSU might be tripping a RAIL, which resets the rig... so, my verdict....too high in-game temps or PSU crying for his mom... BY THE WAY, thermal throttling on a GTX470 should occur between 90 degrees and 105 degrees celsius... Thanks mate the power supply was put in as an after thought because my CoolerMaster Silent Pro 1000W started making some very loud grinding noise and I had to swap with another one I had spare to keep me going. So I think the first thing I should do next week is upgrade the PSU and add more cooling.. I REALLY APPRICIATE ALL YOU GUYS ADVICE ON THIS SO A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
