Title: Re: 2x6950 running hot (88 C) Post by: IlbiStarz on July 11, 2011, 05:03:23 AM Are the two cards right next to each other? If so, you can't really do anything about it. My suggestion is get a big house fan and blow the whole computer with the panel removed. That lowered my 6990 temp by about 10C.

Both of my cards are the MSI reference 6950s Also, what do you have your fan speeds set to? Title: Re: 2x6950 running hot (88 C) Post by: cryptomint on July 11, 2011, 07:42:32 AM You've tried manually setting your fan speed right?
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80" DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80" etc. That sets it to 80% Set it to 100% if you have to, your card is gonna fry at that temperature. Have you underclocked the memory? That will should help. I recently changed all of my 58xx series cards to run at 305 memory and the temperature dropped significantly.
