Curious about my gpu temps

bmoretoga · Mar 18, 2015

is 80c on a 970 to high? my bottom card usually stays at about 65c
but my top card hits 80 while gaming,highest being 82 should i be worried?
i already have my fan curve set to hit 100% once temps get to 80.

Yah thats kind of hot the 970 will begin throttling at 80c. Does your case have good airflow?

terry4536 · Mar 18, 2015

I assume that you have two card in SLI. The 80 C on the top card is high , but not fatal. The only thing you can do is to increase the cooling in the case (or remove a card). What is the configuration of your case?

terry4536 · Mar 18, 2015

You can also investigate water cooling the two cards. If possible, adding a side fan or modding the case to add the side fan is another possibility.

well right now my case is a corsair c70.i have two fans in the front as intake,and the two on the top and one at the rear
are exhaust.my side window is modded so i can't put any fans on the side.kinda regret it now lol

I got 970 from gigabyte in single config and in gaming it barely touches 35 C.I think that it is an airflow problem and not the sli configuration.From which manifacture is your card made by?

bmoretoga :

Is your room hot? Is the 970 caked with dust? Does your front panel have a filter? Is it caked with dust blocking the intake fans?

necromancher :

there the msi gaming editions.there also overclocked aswell at 1520mhz.

Dunlop0078 · Mar 18, 2015

bmoretoga :

I would try lowering the clock and voltage a bit and see if the temps improve.

Dunlop0078 :

na these 970's are band new,maybe about a week old.and i always keep my case nice and tidy.
cable managment isnt a issue either.the temp in my room is probably about 75 degrees.

Reduce the OC a bit, and see if it goes to 80c... Try to keep it under 72c

terry4536 · Mar 18, 2015

Add some fans in the bottom and front of your case. That will help. The side fan would also help, but you said that wasn't an option.

Fan Mount Locations
Front: (x2) 120mm
Top: (x2) 120/140mm
Rear: (x1) 120mm
Bottom: (x2) 120/140mm
Side: (x2) 120/140mm
MId: (x2) 120mm

Too much OC and without liquid cooling i suppose...like others i suggest lowering the voltage.

bmoretoga · Mar 18, 2015

ill look into adding more fans and see if the temps lightin up.i appreciate all the suggestions bro's.

bmoretoga · Mar 18, 2015

necromancher :

that can't be the case though,because if i run the top card by istelf (same overclock)
it barely reaches 70c

Every card is different. You will never have the same card... Its all about the silicon lottery.,

terry4536 · Mar 18, 2015

The top card of an SLI combo is always going to be hotter, it gets less air flow for the cooling fans.
