GPU Temps - good? bad?

Mikarri · Mar 26, 2015

I'd like to know what temps are good and how hot is too hot. I have HWMonitor and it's great - if you know which temps are good and bad.

I have 2 Asus STRIX GTX980's in sli.

Hello... Post a pic of your readings and we can show you.

For 980's i would keep the average temp around 60c-70c

but anything below 90c should be safe and the GPU shouldn't start throttling until 95c

HWMonitor says my 980's are idling at 50-55c. I played AC: Unity at max settings for about an hour and the highest it hit was 70c with an average of 64c and a low of 52c or so.

Your load temps are ok but idling temps are on the high side. Whats the room/ambient temp like? It greatly affects the operating temperature

Played some more Unity and I checked and realized I read it wrong before. 55c min and 79c max.
My house isn't all that hot. Wife has the space heater running constantly though.

play a demanding game for about half an hour then take a screen shot of the desktop with hwmonitor sensor and gpu z open. We will try to interpret it for you

Someone suggested I use MSI Afterburner and put the fans on a curve? I have no idea what that means. I do have an MSI mobo, so should I be doing that? I know the strix's don't even run the fans unless under heavy load, which is nice on the ears, but I'd rather it be loud and safe than quiet and hot.

This is after about 30 mins of AC: Unity.

Well actually your gpu temps are ok for a gpu fan that barely spins. It you want to cool it down, you can use mis afterburner or asus gpu tweak and setup a fan curve. It will make more noise if that bothers you

Mikarri :

You can try and if it gets a bit loud, you can always put it back to default setting. As I've said you can use msi afterburner or Asus gpu tweak to make a fan curve. Heres to give you idea how to do about it
