sapphire 7970 - x34cha - 04-30-2014
So I just bought a sapphire 7970 and I started running hashcat with it and it reaches about 78c pretty quickly and my fan goes to like 60% and really loud..
Is that normal or am I stressing the card too much, I have a slight overclock on it...is that bad?
RE: sapphire 7970 - azren - 04-30-2014
That is normal. I forced mine to run 100% fanspeed.
Borrowing from epixoip...
Quote:"normal" is subjective, but anything below ~ 83 is ok. 84-88, keep an eye on things. 89-90, time to start worrying. 91+, kill the load and let it cool. 95 is definitely critical."
Best regards,
Azren

I'm scared to leave it running while I sleep now.. but what happens is it hits about 78 and the fan goes to like %60 or so and cools it... so I dunno.. seems like it's controling it.. pretty cool.

there's nothing wrong with 78C. don't worry unless you start getting over 90C
