Hi, I've searched around but haven't found a definitive answer. I've just built my first computer centered around gaming, with a Sapphire HD 7990.
At idle, right after I turn my computer on, GPU-Z recognises both cores of my card at around 40-45 degrees. Then I played Skyrim for about 20 minutes to which the temperature rose to about 73/60 (core1/core2) and then quit. However it's been about an hour since I quit skyrim and GPU-Z is still telling me the temperatures are 72/55 even in idle. Can this post-gaming idle temperature be healthy?
As far as I see the ventilation in my computer seems fine, but right now I'm still yet to install 2 120mm exhaust fans on the top of my computer case. I'm only using the built in rear exhaust fan and front intake fan that came with my case (and any cpu/psu/gpu fans obviously). Should I really be expecting these idle temperatures until I buy two more additional fans? I'm quite worried this isn't how my GPU temp should be acting.
