Gigabyte 780GHZ - question about temperatures.

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

Hey all. I just upgraded my GPU from Gtx 570 to Windforce 780 GHZ Edition, but i am worried about temperatures. When playing games they are 77-80C max. With default fan auto 66% ( 3090 RPM ).
Is here maybe somebody with the same card? Are that temps too high or normal?
Boost is 1176mhz,but when temps reach 79C it goes down.

thats normal. higher end gpu's tend to heat more 80c is normal temp for a gtx 780 at load. according to nvidia the max gpu temp is 95c.

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

On review sites they have 75 C max or lower.

litwicki23 :

What case do you have and how many fans on it? because while still being totaly safe temps for this card i personaly own a GTX 780 MSI twinfrozr and when overclocked to 1250mhz boost wich should cause higher temps my gpu is only reaching about 62-64c in heavy games like BF4 with 60% fanspeed...i find your temps still a bit too high for what they should considering that from reviews i seen on the web the windforce cooler should keep your card even cooler than the twinfrozr...

whats your gpu fan speed while load?

ModernWarfare :

He said default fan speed 66%...but i doubt that usualy default fan speed is 30%...maybe that's the problem there...i would double check on that OP

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

I checked in GPUZ and max fan speed during load is 66% ( 3090 rpm )

litwicki23 :

And what about your case? well ventilated gaming case or el cheapo smally tiny case full of dustyness?

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

It may be undesirable if, due to the low fan speed, your GPU is throttling back its clock to keep temperatures at or below 80C. In this case you would not be getting the full performance potential of the GPU.

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

Case is ok. Dont blame to case if case is ok.

Anyone here with the same card?

paitjsu sadff · Apr 3, 2014

ModernWarfare :

Yes but i owned a HD7950 with windforce cooler on it and i can tell you that those tiny little fans on it got very high pitch and the thing was getting very very loud past 60% fan speed...it is the reson why i will never get another windforce card...EVER...they keep good temps usualy tho.

litwicki23 :

Case is ok man

case is ok...you got good airflow in there with at least one intake fan and one exaust fan and the cable management is descent and nothing is really obstruction the airflow then the case is ok man

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

I am always achieving guaranteed boost clock 1070mhz. I am reaching max 1176mhz. While when i hit 80C then it drops to 1163mhz or sometimes lower.

ModernWarfare · Apr 3, 2014

hmm like i said It may be undesirable if, due to the low fan speed, your GPU is throttling back its clock to keep temperatures at or below 80C. In this case you would not be getting the full performance potential of the GPU.

why dont you take a pic inside of your case for us that helps

litwicki23 :

Did you had to push the overvoltage and powerlimit sliders to reach those boost clocks or the card is at stock powerdraw?

PCGameFan2 · Apr 3, 2014

Seems a bit high to me unless you're overclocking. Anything under 80C is generally acceptable though.

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

Card is stock settings

paitjsu sadff · Apr 3, 2014

then maybe gigabyte missed out on the application of the thermal paste under the cooler? it might be...are all 3 fans spinning on the card?

litwicki23 · Apr 3, 2014

yes all 3

I have two of the GHz editions. 80°c is fine... Use precision to increase your power target and temp target. Create a custom fan profile.

I have mine set at 80% fan speed when they hit 70°c (and are still quiet). They rarely go over that mark... needless to say, once you change the power and temp target it shouldn't throttle at 80°c...

RussK1 :

He is correct,

I recently upgraded my rig and bought myself the Asus 780DCU2. Stock my temps were anywhere from 68-75 depending on the map in BF4. I increased the clock speed by 200 and the memory by 300. Changed the power target to 104%/85 degrees and now I sit at 59-64 no matter the map.

Either way, anything below 80 is ideal. However, You can push it to 85 if need be.

Try his solution, I'ts easy and a simple solution.

What is your temps on single 780GHZ? ( not SLI )

RussK1 · Apr 4, 2014

litwicki23 :

70/75°c... would probably be warmer if the fan profile was default auto.

litwicki23 · Apr 4, 2014

What was your settings on fan?
