I got a 1gb Zotac gtx 560 and was just wondering what are the average temperatures of the card.
When i play Farcry 3 on high-ultra settings at 1080p the temp goes up to 92C and when im idling it goes down to about 50-60C while having 2 monitors plugged in.
The max temp of the gpu is 99C on the Nvidia website

You should clean you gtx 560, those temps are really high. I use MSI Afterburner to control the fans of my GTX 465, you can set the fan speed according to the temperature in the gpu, i.e.: if you gpu passes 50ºc fans go to 60% speed, and if temperature is lower they return to 40% speed, I did that with my gpu and temps on load never go higher than 63ºc.
Best of luck!

Which cooler was on your GTX 465?
My stock GTX 460 runs like a hot pig.

I agree with damric that the Fermi's do run very worm but your temps are pretty high. I recommend adding more air flow to the case to vent the hot air and as mentioned before start with blowing out the GPU cooler with some compressed air. Those cards were very hard to keep cool because Fermi was a good space heater.

Fermi runs notoriously hot.You can turn up the fan speed or add more/faster case fans. If you are a handy dandy then you can remove the shroud and the cooler, clean the cooler thoroughly, and replace the worn out thermal interface.
I have the MSI Afterbutner giving it more fan speed and i also removed all the dust out from the radiators.
I heard that if i underclock the gpu it would be less hot but i dont know how to do it and dont want to make the gpu roast.
if you know how to do it or know the core clock/memory clock parameters then i could try to underclock it

This can be done right in MSI afterburner. just lower the Core clock rate down a little at a time and stress the system to see what the temps read. But be warned that your performance will drop also.

yh im not worried about the performance, most games i play already run about 120 fps on a 60hz monitor but i just dont wanna damage my gpu undervolting. Im also going to buy a new case so hopefully then it would drop alot of heat.

Definitely a good space heater. My GTX 460 exhausted so much heat that it actually was raising my CPU temp. I can only imagine what a GTX 480 or GTX 590 is like. Case cooling is of extreme importance for those heaters or they will consume themselves.This is a common issue with GPU's that vent hot air into the case. The card I have now heats my CPU up by about 3°C while gaming verses my old GPU that vented all the heat out the back of the case and I have a high air flow case that moves around 275 cubic feet of air per minute. Cooling the case will lower the temps of everything else like damric was starting to mention there.

you really can't hurt it by undervolting it but it can become unstable. So give Damric's Idea a try and see how low you can under volt it before lowering clocks. Use OCCT on the GPU test with error checking enabled to stress the GPU. This is a free program. This will let you know if the undervolting is causing errors to appear and or make it crash because it stresses the GPU.

@SlayZombi That statement would hold true for most GPU's But we are talking a bout a Fermi chip here. These things were really hot. FYI the GTX 400's and 500's were the Fermi chips.@OP if you can get eh temp down to 85°C under load in OCCT then I would call that good for now.
Never was a big Nvidia whiz. lol :-P Never knew it was even possible to get it to 99c without auto shutdown.

usually the max temp the Nvidia GPU chips can handle is 105°C then either they will shut down or melt. Usually if you hit 90°C you need to look into why and do something to cool it down. That's really weird. AMD usually has a safety cap in the 80's and 90's..... Must be so they don't melt or get a lawsuit. lol

Expect 89c with a GTX 560 in the middle of summer. Temperatures depend on a lot of factors, but your card will obviously run hotter in a hot room. Fermi likes to ride around the mid- to upper- 80c's. 92c is nothing to worry about, but I would recommend removing the heatsink and changing out the thermal paste.

It's the stock reference version cooler, http://3dvision-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/evg... .
It's pretty noisy at 60% speed but i prefer having 50-60ºc than 80ºc.

You will have to ask over at Techpowerup.com. Some of the cards can be unlocked to a full fledged GTX 470 by using a modified BIOS.

Oh, no, I didn't unlock it to be a 470, although I read something about it I didn't even try it.

BIOS flashing is very risky business, but can be rewarding if you do it right. If you fail, you could break your card though.

I would not recommend doing so in your situation at this point because your having heat issues now. If your Chip is able to unlock to the 470, The heat generation will go up and produce a higher load and higher idle temps. You got confused, brother. The OP doesn't own a GTX 465. Unista does, and it's running cool.
NVM you caught it
