Gpu Temp Is 49 Celsius, Is That Too Hot?
« on: March 29, 2008, 05:26:00 PM »
Can a few of you guys, just post your xbox 360's running gpu temp.  I just bought a XCM 360 High Speed Air Cooler and gpu is  reading around 48 degrees Celsius, CPU is at 30.  Is the GPU running too Hot?

Your fine imo, computer GPUs run hotter and they have better cooling.

Those temps are fine. You should start worrying when the CPU or GPU gets around 60-70 degrees. Lower than that is perfectly fine.

How did you measure the temperatures? Did you place a thermal diode on the heatsinks or is it the air temperature?

CPU temperatures are acceptable to as high as 70C (I've read it shuts down then).
GPU works fine towards boiling point. 80C is no problem at all. Mine ran at 88 for a while without a hitch.

Basicly I think this whole overheating thing is a little overrated. What I'm really interested in is how hot the CPU/GPU is when it starts to malfunction, like show artefacts or crashes (like what some people report). Maybe it's just the vga-ram that causes problems, or the southbridge.

As for RRODs, each console should be preventively x-clamp fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

If a computers GPU runs at 80c on load that's fine but the 360's GPU heating up to that isn't exactly good for it.

No mods to the machine, I do have the top cover off, with temp diodes directly in the heat sinks.
