I have a cooler master advanced Haff case, I've just installed and started testing the graphic card, well it's running at 78 up to 84c° is this normal? it was advertised to run at 68c° full load, and I think I have enough air flow in my case

As an aside, did you mean to pick that "Best Answer" above? I unselected it, you can reselect it if you wish, or select one at the end when your problem is resolved.


Now to get on with your question, how fast are your fans running at that temperature?

While the MSI Gaming version of the GTX 780 Ti is designed to run cooler than a reference model, there can be other factors that will push the temperatures up. Most notably, a hot room (it is summer after all) and poor case ventilation. The fact is that 82c is exactly the temperature that your card is designed to target, just check your Temp Limit in MSI Afterburner. Your card will spin up its fans and lower its Turbo Boost speeds to maintain that temperature in a hot environment. If your card runs well-below 82c, like it should with a MSI Twin Frozr card, then the fans will run slower and the Turbo Boost clocks will be higher.

So, there's nothing wrong with 84c, in and of itself it's exactly normal for hot summer temperatures. But the question is, how fast are your fans spinning and what speed are your clocks running? If your fans are running at 85% and your clocks are running at stock speeds, then you probably have an issue with your case ventilation. As a less likely possibility, your heatsink might not be fully seated on the GPU shroud. But first, let's take a look at your temps and clock speeds.

I think it would be helpful if you answered 17secounds questions.

I'm assuming your fan is running at 1700 rpm under load - what is your fan speed% value in msi after burner when your gpu is uder load?

What is your room temperature?

Do you have the fan profile set to auto or is it manually?

It's kind of too bad that you're not getting those amazing 60-70c temperatures we see in the reviews for the MSI Gaming card. But what your numbers are saying is that your card is really working as designed with no problems. The fans are running moderately and your temperature is within your temp limit, even while playing one of the most demanding games on the market. I'm guessing its hot where you live?

I guess so, considering that I live in North Africa, it's round 30°c here and yes it's too bad that I'm not getting the advertised clocks, I had a Twin Frozr gtx 680 before this card, I don't really remember my summer temps, but it used to run at the advertised temps 65 up to 70 max, that why I got worried while testing my new card and after doing some research I found that some reviewers had the same temps as I, which are around 78 up to 83c° so I guess there was nothing wrong after all :D thanks for your help

The higher the ASIC quality = Lower voltage and power consumption which = Lower temperatures with default fan profiles on AIR.

Lower ASIC quality cards like yours are good for water cooling.

"This info is displayed below ASIC score"

If your ASIC quailty was 78% your temperatures would be lower.

There's your problem right there. A lower ASIC score means higher voltage and higher temperatures. Not much you can do other than return the card. I'm sure you'll be fine with it all the same. it's a good thing it's a Twin Frozr card.
