Safe gpu Tempature for my 7600gs?

I was playing Call of JuarezFor about 2 hours and my Gpu temp was up to78 C! Is this ok or safe? Also heres pics inside my case and airflow. Also this pic is older wires ans cable are neater. Plus My room temp is close to 80 F. Any info if i need it to rearrange things inside too thanks.Safe gpu Tempature for my 7600gs?
Your temperatures are fine. My heavily overclocked 7600GT idles 59C and under load hits up to 85C.Video cards are safe up to 100C and above, and nVidia's ''slowdown temperature'' is like 130C.Safe gpu Tempature for my 7600gs?
But my cardisnt overclocked and with that pci fan it should be cooler right?
PCI fans are pretty much useless, IMO... but I suppose it could be a bit cooler.I wouldn't worry about your temperatures though.
Should i bring my pci fan closer to the graphics card? or just turn up the speed from med to high?
or put it on low?
Anyone with more info?
Your temperatures are fine. Do whatever you want with the fan.
I have the same video card, the avarage temperature playing Half Life 2 and GuildWars is about 72C, so i guess you shouldn't worry.
Well fixing the cable magement should low the themperatures greatly, but that temperature is fine, my x1900xtx on stock cooler on my old rig and old case, got to 100C, I got 2 new cases after that and now its way overclcoked with the stock cooler, and it still remains quite cold.
Im sure it is fine but wow! My BFG 8800 GTS 640 was at 130 farenheit so that seems pretty high..
[QUOTE=''frizzyman0292'']Im sure it is fine but wow! My BFG 8800 GTS 640 was at 130 farenheit so that seems pretty high..[/QUOTE]Thats a mere 52C.
Sweet thats cool i wonder why it is so cool my cpu is 23c.. Well its watercooled (cpu)
[QUOTE=''04dcarraher''][/QUOTE]Is there a fan ontop in the front?

Front should be intake.
Back should be exhaust.
Top should be exhaust.
Most of the time, side should be intake.

tricking out my old PC...

Since i'm getting my XPS 410 soon, my obselete PC will become even more obsolete...I want to make it into somewhat of a gaming PC that can play games at med-high to high (not DX10 however)The specs are as follows:P4 2.4GHZ512mb RAM @ 333mhz80GB HDD @ 5,400 RPM (4.5GB left)nVidia BFG 5500FX OCPSU ???? i'm guessing 200-300WWindows XP2 discs drives (the exact same 2 that are coming in my new PC LOLOLOL)I'm looking at spending under $300 for the whole thing, obviously cuz ihave a case, monitor, speakers, and disk drives, and one HDD already...Use Newegg to find me the parts, eventhough i won't be using newegg. Imight actually check out a used computer parts store near me (one of my freinds built a CPU mainly from parts there)This would be great practice for building my own PC from scratch in the future, as well as giving me a PC at home if I ever come home for a break during College... (note i said ''if i ever'')* i also want to note thati want it to be a duo core 2, even if its a lower end one...tricking out my old PC...
if $300 is too low, just find me good as possible parts for the lowest price possibletricking out my old PC...
So far, how is this?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103036http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134129http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814186025http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148236The GPU may not be what i exactly want, but I'm not sure what is the best for the price...

Ok...hold it right there. I just started to look, and then I saw that. What you want to do simply cannot be done, for several reasons. First off, your motherboard does not support C2D procs. I guarantee it. That means you're in it for a new mobo (minimum $60-$70, probably more). Since you have to upgrade your mobo, you'll have to buy new RAM, and you'll want at least a gig (roughly $80-$100). The new motherboard will have PCIe, not AGP, which I'm sure is what you have now. Thus you will need a new graphics card. Something in the 7 series should do you nicely (about $100). Finally, you actually have to buy that new processor (a minimum of perhaps $120 and much more expensive for anything good). You simply cannot do it for that kind of money. Not for anything close. Oh, and I almost forgot...if that's a prebuilt computer you're upgrading (a Dell, Compaq, etc), then you won't be able to use that copy of XP with the new mobo. The key is tied to the board. Now, if you want to just upgrade a few parts, and keep that processor (which is probably socket 478), then get a 7900GS and a gig of RAM. You may or may not need a new power supply to power that. You should be good then.
Well.. you chose an X2 3600+ which is not compatible with the motherboard you already have.. so you'll need a mobo as well.That RAM is notebook memory.. so you messed up there too.I'm thinking you have an AGP FX5500 right now, so that 7600GT wouldn't work... unless you got a new motherboard.. and here's a cheaper 7600GT.[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130062[/url]Nothing wrong with the hard drive though.
how do you know if it's compatible or not?

That's great, except he isn't going to be able to install that copy of XP on a system with a new mobo...which will add at minimum about $90 to the equation (assuming he can find an OEM copy or is a student and can get a discount...otherwise it will be more).

what resolutions does that 8800 GTX go to?

whats the biggest monitor that an 8800 gtx could run anextgen game on at max settings, n vidia says its powerfull enough to run the newest games at the highest resolutions but with the native resoluction of a 30 inch monitor being 2560x1600, could it handle a new game like bioshock at that without slow down?While this is all just conjecture because you dont know the wrest of the system or the bioshock requirements, (but think quad core and 4 gig of ram, no other bottlenecks), is their such a thing as a monitor thats too big, and would i be better off with a 24 or 26 inch?what resolutions does that 8800 GTX go to?
you should be able to max out those games on a 30inch monitorwith 30-40 FPS depending on how much memory you have and your processorwhat resolutions does that 8800 GTX go to?
hmm... Going over 1920x1200 doesn't make much sense to me, and how many games will even support resolutions greater than that?

graphics cards support such high res that you really never have to worry about it, i think it will be able to handle a 30 inch depending on the game you should get a healthy fps.

A single GTX can drive a 2560x1600 monitor with over 30FPS provided you have a fast/powerful CPU pushing it. The second GTX doesn't get you double the speed - perhaps 30-50% more depending on the application. For example, Doom3 timedemo at 2560x1600 with 4xAA and high textures does about 90fps. SLI does 140.

what should i look for in a good monitor for gaming?

im looking to get an LCD monitor just for my 360 because there cheaper than hd tvs. Other than low response time, what else should i look for.this is the monitor im looking at as of now.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1170290375913%26skuId=8268466%26type=productwhat should i look for in a good monitor for gaming?

so what are good contrast ratio's, the monitor im looking at has 700:1 ratio
anything over 800:1 is alrite.

crappy celeron d

ok so i have a crappy ol celeron d 2.53 ghz in my computer.... im gettin my 2 gig of memory sometime next week and my x1550 pci graphic card later... im runnin on outdated stuff right now lol.. so i wanna switch out my processor but idk how to go about doin that... for onei dont know the socket number for my mobo.. and 2 i dont exactly feel safe messin with the mobo lol so ... help?crappy celeron d
download a program called CPU-Z, that'll identify your CPU, Motherboard, chipset, and graphics portcrappy celeron d
or, go to CPUID.com and download a program called PC wizard
Since you're getting new RAM, a new video card, and apparently a new CPU too, why don't you just buy a cheap new motherboard while you're at it, and stick it in your existing case? PCI Express (PCIe) boards can be had for as little as $45.Then you'll have PCI Express to work with. PCI was a bus engineered in 1992, and not designed for today's high resolution GUIs and applications (especially games). The PCI X1550, like all PCI video cards, is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. If you're already running a ''modern'' integrated graphics solution, such as the Intel GMA 950, GeForce 6100, or Radeon Xpress, you probably won'teven get as big of a boost as you'd like, since PCI caps out at 133MB/sec. Even the AGP/PCIe version of the X1300 would be (much) faster than the PCI version of the X1550.

[QUOTE=''Hot_Potato''] 8800 GTS 320 MB at the most.You could probably get away with a 7900GS or the like.[/QUOTE] a 7900Gs will not max out crysis or stalker with AA and AF at that res, and still get a good frame rate. i think an 8800GTS would defiently.
For STALKER, you'd need to get up with THQ and have them properly optimize the game.I can max out STALKER with my X1900XT at 12x10 without any apparent issues, aside from the occasional slow spot (which appear to be random, not when too much is happening). I don't doubt that the 7900GS should be able to handle that load as well.
just a quick question, how does the 7900 GS compare to the X1900GT?
It's overall better and once overclocked it's an amazing card.The X1900GT is still a great card though, considering you can find it for $115-130 nowadays. :)
there around the same price here in uk, the 7900GS imo is just a great alrounder card.

IE memory leak: need someone skilled with Javascript!

I've had the notorious Internet Explorer memory leak as long as I can remember. All I know about memory leaks and Javascript is that 90% of the time it's caused by a faulty function. The script for IE's home page (AOL.com, ''ugh'') has only 4 of them; 2 at the beginning ---------------------function SymError() { return true; } window.onerror = SymError; var SymRealWinOpen = window.open; function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes) { return (new Object()); }---------------------
and 2 at the end---------------------
function SymOnUnload() { window.open = SymWinOpen; if(SymRealOnUnload != null) SymRealOnUnload(); } function Sym****) { if(SymReal****!= null) SymReal****); window.open = SymRealWinOpen; SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload; window.onunload = SymOnUnload; } SymReal****= window.**** window.****= Sym**** --------------------- Does anyone know what's causing the link?Edit: For some darn reason, ''0nL04d'' filters out. IE memory leak: need someone skilled with Javascript!
Let me introduce you here good sir, FirefoxIE memory leak: need someone skilled with Javascript!
Lolz, I haven't used IE for over a year! My mom uses IE (I really want her to convert to Firefox or Maxthon) and I can't delete it because the applications (2 of them!) come back so quickly.

[QUOTE=''DarkQuark'']As in physically replacing IE? Googling ''internet explorer replacement'' only gives alternative browsers for IE that do not physically replace IE. Do you know where to find links on what I want?[/QUOTE]It involves editing the registry and while I used to have a link to a guide when I had to reload Windows I lost all my old bookmarks..so I don't have it anymore. Pretty much it entails going through the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder in the registry editor and replacing all the instances of internet explorer with the location of Firefox.Although I believe there are some programs that automate it I don't know them by name and surely can't vouch for them. Basically its very difficult to really get rid of Internet Explorer as getting rid of it in the Add or Remove Programs tool just disables it and its tied to integral parts of the operating system so you can't just delete all the files relating to it.
...or you can just set your default browser to firefox, and then anything that opens in internet explorer will open in firefox. It's NOT a good idea to get rid of IE completely...some sites (particularly microsoft's site) require it. In those instances, I just use IE tab in firefox, but you need IE installed of that to work. Anyway, OP, why is that skin changer not what you need? It will make firefox look, feel, and browse just like IE, except you will have all the security and open-source benefits of firefox.
