Temperature GT240
Just changed out old card for the PNY 240 and all seems well. Not into heavy
gaming except for FSX According to nvidia inspector the card is idling at 53-57C , fan 35%. Cant seem to come up with a definitive answer via google to determine if this is normal? I haven't fired up FSX yet to see how much higher it goes but I guess it will jump a bit more I am running the card with two LCDs and vista 32bit Thanks for any input Bill |

For reference, in a house that stays about 72-74F most of the year; my old system with a 9800GTX+ idled at approx 55C; and the fan duty cycle was rated at 40%. The 9800GTX was basically the same chip at the 240; and clocked higher. If it goes beyond 72-75C under load, then you might want to consider rearranging your case for optimal air cooling, but otherwise don't worry. |

Never used to bother with it till I got the nvidia inspector. Sometimes too much info isnt good :-) Bill |
