Confirming my GTX 580 handles CQ like my monocled superself handles coke off a cheap Perimeter hookers ass.

CCP's game hasn't fried my GPU. Purring like a kitten running three clients.
CCP's forums on the other hand, are frying my brain.
Did your dear old grandpa leave you his 386? Time to upgrade from solitaire folks and join the 21st century.
Or at least learn a few things about how to maintain a clean computer. (*hint* Dust is a really good heat trap.)

I run two clients one at 1920x1200 and the other 1280x1024 on high settings. THe card I'm using is an OCed HD5770 with stock cooling and even when ambient air temp is 80 degrees my card is running about 50c. I also OC my FSB and CPU by a nice chunk and those temps are well below danger levels..

Originally by: Reloadin Have to state once again that if you can't run your CPU and GPU at 100% then something is wrong with your hardware or cooling setup. Just because a card comes with a nice big shiny heatsink and omg listen to that fan doesn't mean it's going to achieve anything in a poorly ventilated case.
Furmark is probably the most popular GPU stress tester. Run that for 10-15 mins to test stability and overclocks. Once it seems stable keep it going for a couple of hours to make sure.

Once you're up and running with a stable config get a program like MSI Afterburner to actively monitor temps and usage.

While you're at it might as well test the CPU as well. Prime95 is probably one of the more popular multicore stress testing programs.
There's no reason to blame anyone but yourself for cpu/gpu overheating problems, it just shows typical user igrnorance.
Good advice, but lets face it, some people just don't or won't listen.
if i had 1000 ISK for every whining customer who's said why can't you speed up my pentuim III 256MB system which never had an OS rebuild or a clean out of internal dust/fluff i'd be the richest bastard in EVE.

Originally by: daddys helper people,
just because you bought your card x months ago its still much older
a 9800 a year old? HA try 2008
sure duty time matters, but old tech is old tech
My 9600gt runs two clients in CQ just fine. No problems with overheating, but then I spent some time on my case and cooling because of hot summers. I'll happily fall soundly asleep with them both idling in CQ.
I am running a 9800gt with 3 clients all @ 1650x900. With the fan set to 75% I do not exceed 65 degrees C although that fanspeed is higher than I have to set for any other game. I also have a laptop with a poopy intel gm4500 which will run eve on min setting but it gets incredibly hot. Most laptops wont cut it for gaming for hours on end unless it is designed to do so (but why you would want to is beyond me as the processor and gfx will be watered down mobile versions just to save space). You do have to partially disassemble a laptop to clean the dust from it and allow proper airflow (Keep telling the missis not to have the laptop on a pillow) and always use some kind of monitoring software. |

Edited by: Alxea on 08/07/2011 11:23:56 Nvidia is known for making overheating grills. Your GPU died because it had shait cooling, if thats even a true statement to begin with.
Its impossible for a game to burn up a GPU on 100% load unless your graphics cards cooling unit is so sheity that it can't handle a game with decent graphics.
You do realize that there are far more graphic intensive games then eve now because of DX11... oh right, your card is so old it was made 6 years ago.
Stop trying to run games on antique hardware that should be donated to a museum. Its amazing eve has been able to bring DX9 so far. Lucky for all the people who use antiques that they haven't gone completely to DX11 yet.
Hell anybody who try's to run crisis 1 and 2 on old pieces of sheit silicon diods can prob burn up their graphics card and get 1fps on crap that old. Seriously upgrade to decent tech that was made in this generation, stop trying to play games on such ancient junkers.
I have no issues running this game at all period on a ATI HD5770, most heat its ever been able to get up to is 50C on air. Running 2 clients in CQ with max graphic settings. My fan speed is on 50%.
3D mark can make my graphics card run harder then eve can, any DX11 game can. Still can't get even close to burning up my GPU witch is trying to get it past 100C. Dumb people prob take off the heatsink and fan and do it by themselves and blame it on ccp's CQ. |

Folks, it's simple. Keep your stuff cool enough and it'll basically last forever. I'm not arguing about CCP code since what Incarna does to my GPU temps is make me very nervous.
Regardless of what the manufacturers are doing for planned obsolescence or what Incarna does you can extend the life of your electronics components with adequate cooling. A few years ago I read about a guy overclocking his rig by 1000% by placing the entire computer in a non-conductive coolant. But, without going to that kind of extreme here's what you can do in the mean time:
If you're running your GPU at +70c consider the following:
1) Adequate cooling. Mod your case to accommodate a couple of 120mm case fans. 80mm just don't cut it anymore. One 120mm fan bringing air in and one bringing air out will reduce your chassis temps by 5-8c easily. That's worth about 2-5c at the component level.
2) Replace stock CPU and GPU coolers with after market. The after markets are vastly superior than stock coolers. Use good thermal paste, arctic silver is a fine product. If you don't replace the coolers at least, for the love of God, replace the stock thermal pads/pastes. If it's been over a year or never since you've replaced your thermal past do it. Paste dries and cracks over time.
3) Turn the game's quality settings lower. Yeah, I know this sucks. But what sucks more is a dead GPU.
4) Dust your computer. Take every component out and use compressed air thoroughly to clean it, every surface. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before touching or wear gloves. |

Shut it with the "Eve killed my hardware" crap. Seriously. Don't be stupid.
If your hardware monitoring doesn't shut your rig down before thermal damage kills it, then your hardware monitoring sucks. What that means is either you suck at configuring your hardware and your cooling isn't up to spec, or your monitoring is broken because your rig is broken.
It's got nothing to do with Eve. Grow up. |

I know of many homeless shelters OP could go to talk about getting some assistance for food; he could then realistically use his food money on purchasing a new video card to use to play EVE. I believe we should discuss this further in person samantha; perhaps we could do it over skype
I happen to be a really charming guy; and I promise once it's in you won't feel a thing. |

Lol? EVGA is the best designer of Nvidia GPUs. They consistently produce the fastest cards of their class, and that is a fact. Also their customer service and step up program are great. I'm not saying they're infallible but the 8800's had a known fan problem, and EVGA provided an update for the Fan BIOS, you could have RMA'd the card.
ASUS, ftw! I have an ASUS GeForce GTX 580 Direct CU II -- best GTX 580 ever made! Ands it eats Incarna for breakfast. |
