You know, that's what I thought as well, that until it gets over 80 or so there's no need to worry. But I've had persistent problems when the system (not the graphics card) is under load since I installed this card and the radeon driver. I guess I don't know if it's the temp or something else in the driver causing the issue. Since the system totally crashes it's hard to debug. Whether or not the heat is actually causing problems, 60 degrees seems high for a card at idle. My previous card, a (fanless) Nvidia 6600GT, would only get that hot under a heavy load, and it (by specs at least) used more power than the new one. I don't have Windows to test, but the OP's experience was that his card ran hotter idle under Linux than with Windows under load. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
