Third Question without response? Sapphire R7 250 2gb ddr3 temperature

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

Hi guys, i created like 3 threads along 1 month and I still doesn't find the question.What's my max gpu temperature and it's my gpu overheating? It's like 65-80-82 grades maximum temperature.I have the Sapphire R7 250 2gb Ddr3 edition, yes i know isn't a good gaming card.I have this card over 1 year, and i just changed my mobo, processor and ram.I added this videocard on my new system.
The system it is :
4gb of ram ddr3
i5 2400 3.10 ghz
Intel q67 series (6.1w) [HP :1494]
Sapphire r7 250 2gb ddr3
Power source it's 300-350w, don't remember at all.
The idle video card temperature it's like 29-34.When i surf on Chrome the temperature can bump up from 34 to 42-45 or when i look at a video.I adjusted the fan speed to 100% when the temperatures it's 50+ grades.Anybody can say if it's safe for my gpu? I mean the temperature are right or there it's something wrong?
Thank you and i hopefully find an answer!

I think under load around 70 deg C is OK.

If you think your card is getting too hot, have a look at your airflow inside your case.

What make/model case do you have?

Here's some information about airflow in cases:

It's fine until 90c. So 82 is still fine. Shouldnt be going that much higher with the fans @100%.

So everything is normal here.

As long as it stay's below 80c under full load with your fan speed at 100% I wouldn't worry too much. I'd just try to make sure the cooler has enough room to kick off the hot air and that it's being extracted from the case well enough.

However if it's becoming unsettling for you I'd suggest looking up how to remove the cooler and apply a fresh coat of thermal paste. It's a bit "extreme" but certainly effective.

i have already airflow, thanks anyway.So it's too hot?

barto · Sep 7, 2015

Max temp is around 90C. GPUs can get pretty hot and can take the heat. If you don't like those temps, make sure you have proper airflow for the case.

Most of the questions on this forum are repeats.

I will buy soon a new video card, it will keep like 2-3 months with this? Or it will burn at all XD?

plywrlw · Sep 7, 2015

If it's only 50 degrees C when under load it's fine.

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

But what about the in-game temperature?

migronesien · Sep 7, 2015

Oprisan Alexandru :

As i already said the AMD chip can take up to 90c without being in danger so everything is fine with your temps.
82c in gaming is totally normal.

plywrlw · Sep 7, 2015

82 in-game is OK.

It could be better. But it's OK. If you're buying a new card soon then don't worry about it. If your new card runs on the hot side too though you might need to review your case/cable management.

Do you live in a hot country by the way? What is the ambient temperature of the room?

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

I understood, thanks you very much guys! I will buy a r9 or a gtx 750 soon, and I need this videocard for my old pc.To getting his ass to work for my mom.Thanks very much! Love you all!

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

Now ? I think about 26c outside and in my room like 28 or 30 maybe? It's hotter then outside!

plywrlw · Sep 7, 2015

A GTX 750 will not be much of an improvement. A 950 would be a good choice though or an R9 370 assuming they're in your budget range.

galeener · Sep 7, 2015

Some people say higher but 65-67 is pretty safe temp for that card if its under load. I would say your temps are borderline high but as long as you don't run it AT 90 DEGREES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME YOU SHOULD BE OK. You may want to blow the card out with compressed air just to make sure there is nothing blocking the air flow.

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

There it's nothing near to the card, 1 pci-e support and other sound card slots. I have a budget of 130-150 euro's.What should i buy ?

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

I have only 720p, Don't need 1080p XD.

Ir your going to try and get a 950gtx or equivelent I would suggest a 400 watt psu or above from the tier 1 or 2 catagory on this list if its not in your budget go with a tier 3 even though i would not personally use a tier 3. Not sure what your budget is. You could get away with using a 350 watt but 400 watt gives you a little wiggle room.

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

I have a 600watt source, a old source but it's good enough.But i don't think i have enough money for a 950gtx...Budget it's 130-150 euro's maximum.

galeener · Sep 7, 2015

Yep the 950s seem a little high at the moment hopefully they will come down in price. A gtx 750 ti might be good and you may find one on sale to meet your budget.

Oprisan Alexandru · Sep 7, 2015

I understood, so the temperature it's too high... XD
