do u think i should overclock ?

[acepro71]

i have 7870 ghz edition by sapphire it reaches 78 C max in games like sleeping dogs etc

 

do u think i should oc it like the model 7870 ghz edition oc model  ?  

 

is it a good idea or a bad idea considering the temperatures ?

 

my room temperature is around 45 C  and i have three  120 mm fans in case and one 80 mm fan's

45C room temperature? my ass, you would die from like heat stroke

[CoolBeans]

You should overclock but it should go over 80C

[Kayn]

Pretty sure that you're exaggerating the 45c degree room. But you have a little bit of an overhead to overclock, push it until its in the lower 80s but I wouldn't want it to be over 85c.

really come to my house ill show u

Is it your house thermometer giving you that result, if so those things are NEVER accurate. 45 degrees celcius? Brother, most gamers die at anything above 30

it's not just gamers that die at above 30C

listen buddy it can't be 45C unless you soak yourself with water or something

well the ac is on 24x7 which gets it around 33 /35 C 

 

so back on topic do u think i should overclock it or not ?

exactly... um no i wouldn't overclock, I always try to keep it under 80C even though some people say it's fine up to 90C

Above 30 won't necessarily kill you. Tokyo got really hot this summer; almost 37 . But gamers like the cold, it's in our blood.

It's personal preference. A GPU can stand higher temperatures than a CPU meaning that it can stay at a higher temperature for a longer period of time and not have any ill effects. For me that limit is 85C.

out of curiosity's sake may I ask where you live? If you don't feel confident a continent or climate region would be nice to know; 45 degrees and you get internet? That's crazy.

 

But check the temps of your GPU and judge it yourself. When you turn the fan on high, what's the temps?

honestly, I love it when it's about -200C. That's like my sweet spot.

45 c is 113 F, pretty sure you'd have heatstroke in a matter of hours, and be dehydrated and all kinds of screwed up if that was your 24/7 living conditions.

well i live in india ...

new delhi on the top floor of the house the roof so it gets pretty hot  

and if i run fans on full 100% it gets 2 to 3 C lower 

 

 

it too hot i can not even run my cpu with stock cooler it used to get 85 C then i i got h80i 

 

and about my net wait till u see my net speed http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2996873426

well but thats what it is most of the days but usually it stays around 38 c

No, human body can handle much more, sure you will sweat a lot. 40c, usual summer for me (not this one tho, never go above 38c). On sun, way way above 45c...., and you are still alive

 

Also, people who work in rooms for melting metal, it can easy hit up to 60c or even more, when they are close to the "ovens", they are still alive . Tho, i wouldn't recommend testing it just for fun, better safe than sorry (very unlikely something very bad will happen tho).

[kaneandtaker]

If temps allow, I don't see why not.

[LOST TALE]

increase fan speed curve.
