ami running my card too hot

**i will pwn u** · 09-3-2012, 02:15 PM

i have a 2gb gt 520 evga card.. it sucks lool it only has 500 mhz compared to the 1gb one that has 700 or 810 i will be returning it soon but for now im overclockin it a bit.. so my question is .. is 80 degrees to hot for my card to run under load?

this is after me overclocking it to 1000mhz and 580 mem.. lol

Isn't the GT 520 a low-end card made for HTPCs? What are you trying to do with it?
Getting 80 Celsius under load while OC'd sounds pretty normal to me.

I'd just get a new card tho.

Best buy has terrible prices. I have a 520 gt in my computer as a secondary card just to display my 1080p tv. As far as gaming on it and overclocking 80 degrees seems pretty normal. I'd try to return it and get a better card because a 520 gt isn't worth more than 40 dollars.

If you want a good mechanical gaming keyboard, you're more than likely going to have to purchase it online; however, there has been a few times where I bumped into a Razer Black Widow, but I'm not sure if it's really any good for SM/FFR. Plus, I'm not sure how durable it is. It's Razer. :| That's all I have to say. (I only seen one at Fry's Electronics).

And you can purchase a Logitech Illuminated in Best Buy.

Well, you could try and go to a computer convention / trade show. They usually have people selling computer parts and accessories at very good prices. I've been to this one a while ago and it was really cool. Tri-State Fairs
