Does the room temp matter for graphic card? {my graphic card- Zotac Geforce GTX 750}

SHA991 · Aug 2, 2014

Hello mates, i am in a big trouble guys :pfff:

because i am getting 78-82*C while running my graphic card through some benchmark test and playing some moderate games. :??:

While not using the graphic card it's temp is 40*C and guys i want to know what is the reason?
My Room Temp at day is 43-45*C and at night 36-40*C. So guys is it the main problem causing the problem? Plzzzzz guys help

Room temperature will affect your pc temps. It will be warmer hence the 82C on your gpu. However, it not too bad but consider running at a higher fan speed. I doubt the card is 40C at idle when your room temperature is 43C.

Heat transfer flowrate is directly proportional to the temperature differential. So all other things being equal, a 82 C GPU with 40 C room temps (42 degree differential) will be a 72 C GPU with 30 C room temps (42 degree differential).

Where the heck do you live where the room temp is 43-45 C during the day? With that sort of ambient temperature, I'd seriously consider water cooling (while it won't help the temperature differential, it can vastly increase the surface area and thus increase cooling). Heck, I'd consider installing a geothermal heat pump to cool the house. Or even an ancient Roman-style air conditioner.

Solandri :

Thanks dude

in India right now summers are going. and dude you can check what kind of condition in going here too much hot summer days

and my mom and dad can't afford a air condition right now and mate i am worried about my graphic card because i have requested my dad and still my dad spend one and half times more than me and my dad thought of spending on my new rig. So dude i m not in a mood of losing and damaging my graphic card.
So can u tell me mate that how much max or quite safe temp. Zotac Geforce GTX 750 can tolerate? Plzzzz mate

Your temps arent going to damage that card. At least not for a long while. Graphics cards can tolerate much warmer temps than CPUs can, so yeah it's running warm, but with a high ambient temp like you have- there is nothing you can do unless you are willing to invest in more/better cooling.

If you don't have any pets/children or other hazards around, you can remove the side panel while gaming or running benches and blow a small fan directly into the case, blowing over the card. That will drop temps a few degrees.

Also use MSI Afterburner and crank up you cards fan(s) to 60 or 70%. This will help as well.

Yes you may shorten the life of the card running it too hot all the time - and it will likely throttle when it hits around 90 C, but by the time it dies, it'll be way past it's prime anyway. I wouldn't stress about it too much. If at all.

you can actually check on nvidias website for all of their gpu's
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750/specifications
- max temperature is 95c
(but at this point the card will switch off/black screen to avoid damage)
so it is really not recommended to let it go near that for extended periods of time.. but 82 is fine

p.s.those ambient temps surely are high! - i get pissed when it's around 30+ in the house but seems i should really shut up about it!
