Hi all

My Palit gtx 460 is running at 70 - 75 degree's under full load. Is this normal?
120mm front and rear fan. Two side holes.

Cheers

Yes, mine too.

Put another 120 mm on the side (preferably blowing directly on the card) - I lowered the temp from 76 to 71 max., by doing so.

Mine is running up to 98 degrees C at full load. Don't worry about 75 degrees.

I think the ceiling is 104 deg c on the 460.

When you hit 100 deg C then it's time to start blowing hard into the machine to cool it. :lol:

Anyone tried undervolting it using afterburner to around .875 Volts ? That should knock a few degrees off the temps provided you haven't over clocked it.

Now I am plugging in my Monitors into the lowest GPU (wich gets most air). So you can save some degrees.

Compared to mine you have a cool card ;-)
