Guest rador Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I never met with such problem on forums. By playing Gta IV is my 8600 M GT absolutely overheating. It reaches 97-99 C I dont understand why. Other people can play this game on 25 FPS with this card, but not me :) I tried a lot of driver, but any of them helped me. Hope, you will..

zipper Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 First thing is to clean the cooling system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Erakez Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm having the same problem. I am running it on a 2.4Ghz Santa Rosa Macbook on Bootcamp. What driver would be best if I was using XP 32bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is normal for a 8600m GT Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bevel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is normal for a 8600m GT Card Really? My 8600M GT in my Vostro 1500 never got hotter than ~65°C while playing GTA IV! Driver Version 185.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 That's definitely not normal, mine hits 75°C at max, above 90°C you should start worrying, Is the fan still working? can you hear it? does the program you use to read the temp also give a fan rpm indication?

Guest rador Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 COurse fan is working. I can hear it andd feel the air too. For temperatures i m using Everest. In normal state GPU is 56 C. I guess it s really problem with my driver.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bevel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Try to uninstall your driver in Safe-Mode and install 185.20 or 181.20 and report again. My Temps are between 65 and 70°C (and I even don't have a GPU fan, there is only one main fan connected to CPU & GPU via heatpipe), I use Rivatuner 2.22 to log my Temperatures.

Andrew55 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Having cleaned fans/ cooling sys. you may begin to realize that you have a faulty gpu (g84 and g86 were labelled as defective although not all are.) The best thing to do would be to call your manufacturer and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 no, that is just little above what I usually get for both of my 8600m gt, my current hd3650 gets 103c(I think THAT is then considered "hot") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah238 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Anything above 85C I would consider unhealthy for the components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcop06 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 yes, this is 100% not normal for a gpu to be running anything over 90c. as for 8600M GT's, there is a big batch of defective cards out there that have this problem, i had my card(motherboard)/heatsink replaced 3 times by dell (100% free, and very fast service too) until they got it right, now my card NEVER goes above 80ish, overclocked to 660/1030/1320.
