Its 50c which seems quite high for me.
any option to cool it abit more?
Heres a picture.

And is 50c really too high?
Whats the maximum safe 24h operating temp that u would recommand?

You could increase the fan speed with a gpu tweaker, What is airflow like in your case?

Yingda Wang · Apr 2, 2014

its pretty horrible.
There is a 80mm fan exhaust...and thats about it...

I would suggest better airflow if you can although It's quite a cramped case, this will decrease your overall pc temps anyway, I think your best bet is to ramp up the GPU fan.

I cant change the case. the mobo is stapled on the case, not screwedd.....(hp pc op)
I was thinking of underclocking the gpu since i dont need the extra performance anyway
Any tips?

Underclocking will reduce the temps a lot, the cards don't have the best cooling solution so underclocking will help.

What ratio should i decrease gpu clock/gddr5 clock by?

IRyannHD · Apr 2, 2014

Can you reset it to default? or is the default the overclocked?

Yingda Wang · Apr 2, 2014

Default is 900/1050
