What's the maximum safe temperature for a HD Radeon 6870?
- by Adrian Grigore
I'm running a passively cooled HD Radeon 6870 in my PC. While using 3D Acceleration, the temperature climbs up to 95 degrees Celsius according to SpeedFan. It seems a bit hot, but on the other hand I've seen other GPUs being specified to run up to 120 Degrees Celsius. The system is very stable, but Battlefield 3 crashes every few hours or so. On the other hand it might be the game's fault and not related to the GPU temperature at all.
Does anyone know where I can find some manufacturer specs on the maximum allowed temperature for this GPU?
Thanks,
Adrian
