GPU Temps lately....

[aztecrevolution]

9800gt, 50C at idle, 70C at load.. init ang buga sa 2x80mm fan below the video card. summer gyud..

@Carlo

Yup, single loop ra, taas ug OC ang proc, nya 1000rpm ra ang duha ka 120mm fans...

thanks zhald planning to watercool my rig soon..xfire 6970, i hope kaya ni sa akong pump ang akong loop with the additional 120mm rad...

[chriztophers]

idle temp is 60 C then load temp is 78 C

[gaspar_73]

idle temp is 60 C then load temp is 78 C

taas jud imo idle temp boss...mura nag oven atong mga pc ani....

@Carlo

pwede ra tika tabangan. unsa na imong pump ug unsa nga blocks imong plano gamiton sa 2 ka hd6970s?

[CARLOtech]

same tag kit zhald pero mag add lang ko ug full gpu block..then 120mm rad sad..

[lloyd_joy]

mine is at 58 deg C at idle then to 90 deg C at full load...

I just found this!

My video card is running at XX degrees Celcius! Is this bad?!
Not at all. Graphics cards these days are rated to around 100C! For instance, people who fold or game heavily could see their GPU(s) reach upwards of 90C. This is normal, they can withstand the heat - it's like apples and oranges compared to CPUs, where 75C is the danger-zone these days. Don't panic!

I'm still really uncomfortable running my card(s) over XX Celcius!
If you're really worried about temps over say 65-70C, you could turn your fan up to 100% on your card. If that still isn't good enough, well, you could always watercool it or buy an aftermarket cooler.

When should I be worried about temperatures?
Most would tell you about 105C is the point-of-no-return. Realistically though, for everyday use, you should not exceed 95-98C for extended periods of time.

How can I monitor my temperature on my GPU(s)?
You could use apps such as CPUID's HWMonitor, and in addition you could use eVGA Precision to monitor your temps as well.

Keep in mind though, these chips ARE rated to run at these temperatures!
If you're running below 90C the majority of the time, don't panic!

While the chips can withhold higher temperature, the transistor may not.

just found out nga 40-50% rah ang speed sa fan sa akoang 9800gt, gi adjust nako ron to 70% pero mao lageh pd, medyo saba gyud siya.
