core temp high??
Is 75 deg C hot for the core of a 7950 gt ? the slow down threshold is shown
as 130 deg C can it really run this hot??

Is that 75 under load or idle? 75 under load isn't bad at all, 75 under idle is CRAZY high. FYI, I had a PNY 7950GT running 575/1550 that ran 59/94 under idle/load with the stock heatsink. I just installed a DuOrb and now run 49/64... and that's with the DuOrb running on only 60% fan speed... Venger P.S. Note - the DuOrb will not mount without slightly bending the right hand orb up just a bit to clear the surface mount components on the 7950GT, at least on mine...

If you can get your system running with a lower ambient temp first (review your airflow, check fans, active flow through case, etc), then you'll be better off gaging whether it's the card at fault. I do know the 7900 series had a mediocre HSF though. Many people complain about it (noisy, hot). You might want to look into a Zalman cooler or any other good brand. You won't need to dissipate as much heat as a 8800GT or GTX, but many of those coolers would work as well. The Thermaltake DuoOrb has been reported to drop temps on a 7950GT considerably. Make sure you get enough RAM heatsinks for whatever you buy. Some don't come with them. And you'll need to cover the PCIE bridge chip if there is one.

... Is 75 deg C hot for the core of a 7950 gt ? Nope. 75 deg C is not really a cause for concern for any modern GPU. the slow down threshold is shown as 130 deg C can it really run this hot?? Briefly, yes. Bear in mind the slow down limit was put in to protect the card against "uncontained" cooling system failures, such as an obstructed fan or detached heat sink. The card is not expected to reach 130 C under normal use. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
