Hi everyone!
Recently I have had to move my rig into another room, as I am decorating my bedroom. The room it is now in is quite small, and so heats up quite quickly after turning my PC on. (Usually about 10 mins and I have to open a window. =P). I habitually have temperature monitors running along with other monitoring software that starts up automatically on boot, as I like to keep an eye on things. I have become somewhat concerned with my GPU temps after the move. I am currently running 2 x EVGA FTW 670's. When running intensive games, (The most intensive so far being Crysis 3), my temperatures go above 70 degrees, nearer to the 80 degree region. If I run a grpahics benchmark, such as Fur Mark, then my GPU temps go above 80 degrees, and max out at around 85-87 degrees. Before anyone asks, I have already maxed out the amount of chassis fans I can fit to my case, and I have created a custom fan curve on EVGA Precision X which ramps the fans up to 100% upon reaching 70 degrees. I have also quite heavily OC'd both cards, and now each 670 runs at around 25-30% better performance than a stock 680, so I understand more heat will be generated than a stock 670.
I realise that GPU technology has improved, and so GPU's can run at quite high temps, but my own personal 'max' is 75 degrees, as I believe this to be the highest safe temperature. Is the fact that my cards are running so hot something to be concerned about?
Thanks in advance for any help!
