8800GT fan keeps setting itself to off, and the card heats up to around 80C

[Themage]

My 8800GT keeps setting its fan to off or 0% according to nTune, and it drives the temperatures up to around 80C idle, Causing me to have to turn on the fan every time I startup, yet just a few weeks ago it worked fine.

Download Rivatuner and set the speed manually.

80C while idling is pretty normal for a 8800GT to be honest. My old 8600 GTS superclocked was running at 76 degrees idle with the stock cooler

Anyways, use a application such as MSI afterburner or Rivatuner to set the fan speed manually

My card idles at 50c everyday. How is 80C NORMAL?!

[bull3tmagn3t]

Speedfan says my 8800GT is 56C idling. And my comp may be a LITTLE hot because my CPU is 58C idle... but idk, just get ur fan goin.

[Mandalore777]

80C idle is normal?
his idle temp alone worries me.
I cant imagine what your temps are at full load.

Rivatuner the shit out of that fan with a fixed constant fan speed.

My dad had 2 8600GTs die after 2 years because the fans stopped spinning, they had dried up all the oil and grated themselves to a stop

8600 =/= 8800gt. Its too hot for both of those cards to run that on IDLE. On LOAD its exceptable but not on IDLE.
