GPU too cold?

SixHunters129 · Dec 6, 2013

Hello! I have a GTX 770, and its REALLY cold where I am. My computer is in the room that is the coldest. I was wondering if this is bad. When I turned it on it was at 24c, Im guessing it was probably a little colder than that before I turned it on. Anyway Im just wondering if its is bad for my computter to be cold.

Thanks!

Naaaaaaaaaah, those kinda temps are absolutely fine, the colder the better! It's how hot you have to worry about

THATs great! you therefore have some room for OVerClocking with not much hot temps

You want your computer to be cold, that is a good thing, if it is that cold there you could probably get better performance out of OC'ing. I mean people have set OC'ing records using liquid nitrogen. But yeah the colder the better.

The CPU clock-speed record (on a overclocked FX-8150, think it was something like 8.34Ghz) was achieved under Liquid Helium. Its impossible to know how cold the chip was since all the sensors just aren't meant for sub-zero temperatures, but the overclocking team were pretty sure that it wasn't too far off 0 Kelvin (or Absolute Zero).
Yeah, your chip is fine if it idles at 25°C :lol:.

In the colder months my CPU will idle at about 15°C, once on a particularly cold morning just as I booted up one of the cores was 0°C.

24c is fine. There are people who overclock using liquid nitrogen. The colder it is, the easier it is for a processor chip to run faster.

Just beware of condensation. Bzzt pfff.

Did you see that inter dimensional heatsink they built in the desert on stargate sg1? well I want one of those
in my cellar and I will run some long cables and use a wireless mouse and kboard to my bedroom.
24c is too warm if anything.

actually ... if it's very very cold you can get condensation and that's bad. below freezing the fans will malfunction too.

but for normal cold it's "the colder the better"

Condensation is only an issue if something is colder than ambient temperature, which is impossible if your using anything that involves a fan and a heatsink.
