Black-ops CPU & GPU temps....

[DigitallyAtomic]

I've seen this mentioned in a few posted but I didn't run across anything definitive in my forum search.

Modern Warfare 2 my CPU temps were around 25-30C while in Black-ops it's running it up to 55-60C. Which isn't a "problem" exactly, it's fairly acceptable compared to most peoples machines however I'm not comfortable with the fact I can run multiple instances of other high end games and the CPU not break a sweat and go above 30C.

The CPU is an OC'd i7 920 @4.2 ghz (25-30C WITH the OC just to be clear).

GPU on the other hand seems like it's getting gang ♥♥♥♥♥ however I think that will just require a driver update when one is offered.

GPU is a XFX 5780 Clocks 875 & 1250 @ 35-44C normally. I realize this isn't a real scientific number but the air blowing on my hand is pretty "warm" compared to "normal", lol. I just honestly haven't bothered to look at the temp or open ATI CCC while the game was running. Guess I should do that now....

The point of all this is I'm trying to see if anyone else is having temp issues and it's not just my rig. The game runs smooth as butter, I'm loving it. Just not loving that drastic flux compared to every other piece of software I own, lol.

Take it easy fellas and thanks for any contribution. :)

Known issue being worked on. The game is using a bunch of CPU power and not as much GPU power.

Those temps listed are absolutley fine. I have the same chip DO series and the same overclock. I get temps 40-55. Air cooled.

Alrighty, good to know. Now to cross my fingers for a driver update to give my card a rest.

I have a 4870 and my GPU temps are off the charts, and the 4800 series is already notorious for how hot they run. Most high-end games push my GPU to 80-85C, but BO has pushed it to 110-115C. This is with stock speeds and an extra fan in the neighboring PCI slot to help displace heat.

My VDDC temps barely move, however.

I have a i7 950 @ 4ghz and it sits at 40c air cooled, playing on full res and max settings. My gfx card is 40-50c aswell.

Im a computer noob and know nothing about temperatures. Are these standard sorts of temps? Or will my PC die young running these temps constantly?

Thanks

Those are very low. Anything above 70c (on CPU) and I'd be concerned. GPU's tend to run hot, 60-70c under load is normal I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

for a CPU : 40°C is cold, start to be dangerous a 80°
for a GPU : 50°c is cold, start to be hot a 80°C, start to be dangerous at 100°c, kinda.

So you're perfectly fine dude.

Wrong. About danger temps.

CPU>>>
Core temps >70C is pushing it. TJMax is usually around in the 90s-100 when the CPU will shut itself down so it doesn't burn up. 30-40 is cool temp.
CPU temps >50C means you should probably re-do your thermal paste or think about getting a new cooler. High 20s-low 30s is cool.

GPU>>>
Depends on gfx card. Generally anything above 85C when stressed means you should probably look at your case airflow.

Just so others know, it depends on the CPU. Thermal limit for an i7 is 70-80 but the limit for a Phenom 2 chip is 62 degrees.

Running a 4870x2 at 120*C is still perfectly safe for that card.
They were designed for heat. Just good airflow is recommended.

Epic Bump hits you for 9001 damage!

No...
all 4870x2's will start getting artifacts at around 105-110 degrees. This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ our gpus...
