Graphics card temp question.

Dreadbeard · Dec 9, 2013

Heyo, i got a new GTX 650 ti boost sc about two months back, and today noticed that it had hit 71C,this is the highest ive ever seen a card go, and its winter!?. is this the normal temp for this type of card? "this was under load on borderlands 2" and what about for the summer, what happens then will it hit the 80's 90's even?, my old card "gtx 660 ti oc" always ran really cool compared to thise one, though it was an open card, this one is enclosed.

Thanks for any reply.

dread a few things...the 660ti is a more powerfull card then the 650ti bost. the 660ti has more cuda cores so in games it does not work as hard. with newer gpu and firmware and drivers on the cards..most new cards they try keep the fans under 40 percent to keep the fan noise down till the card hits x temp. then the fans ramp up. people use programs like msi afterburner to turn the fan on sooner in a fan profile. the last issue is your card the new one is overclocked to the max. with overclocked cards they can run hot. try in msi afterburner to slow the gpu down and see if it runs cooler.

71 C is not a bad temp for a graphics card. you should only start worrying when the card starts going past 80ish

I know about the 660 ti, but i got the 650 at a bargain in a sale. I run a fairly small resolution, so the card never usualy gets too heavy on load. Thats why ive never seen that type of temp.

technically the 660 ti should work just as hard as the 650 ti in games because they are always trying to output the most fps they can unless you've got a cap on. and whats the ambient temps?

Dreadbeard · Dec 9, 2013

My ambient are around 25-30c

airplanegeek · Dec 9, 2013

71 C is a good temperature for that kind of ambient. My 760 gets to 75 under full load at 20 C ambients, but then i did overclock it...

Dreadbeard · Dec 9, 2013

Ill tweak my fan speeds, see if that helps. Might try keep the room cooler too, as it gets hot in my room.

airplanegeek · Dec 9, 2013

lol, i cant keep ambients higher than 20 C. or else the heating costs just skyrocket

Dreadbeard · Dec 9, 2013

Thats what gets me with it being so cold we put the heating on daily haha, and then i usualy have a ps3 running in the background, that makes the room temp go up even more. I saw a temp of 71c and thought "Oh god that isnt good", never seen a temp that high before.

na its fine, with such cards most manufacturers dont slap on big coolers like they do with higher end cards

Dreadbeard · Dec 9, 2013

Ok happy to hear that, main thing im worried about is at that temp in winter what can i expect in the summer.

60-70 is normal....never go beyond 80
