Is 100°C safe for GTX 560 while playing games?

Hello! I have a Gigabyte GTX 560 Windforce dual fan gpu. On Idle load it varies from 40-50°C and while on heavy load (ie GTA V, Dota 2, and Mafia 3 to name a few) it was on constant 100°C not reaching 101°C above. I live in Philippines on the province. Environment temperature is 31-33°C. I have already replaced the thermal paste was using a Deepcool z5. My case has 3 fans, 2intake and 1outtake. No overclocking settings were applied. Thanks for your reply!

Hmm, that sounds a bit off... So I just checked my XFX RX 560. It's 29 degree's ambient in my apartment at the moment (so I'm a couple degree's off your temp), and I'm showing 44 degree's idle with the GPU's fans running at 0RPM (not spinning - visually checked to be 100% sure). After 1/2 hour of GTA V, I show 63C with the graphics cards fans sitting at 1200 RPM (I'm looking at Radeon Wattman for this info). Now I wouldn't expect your system to run as cool as mine since my case is large(ish) and I know it flow's air fairly well with three 120MM at roughly 600RPM fans blowing out (one in the rear, two in the top), and two 140mm intake fans (front lower bottom) at roughly 850RPM (according to speedfan). Have you tried running case...

Any suggestions? Do you think the end is near on my graphics card? What would be the signs? I'm not experiencing any change in performance yet.

I did use the pea size technique though was using a deepcool z5. There is a 1 separate heatsink inside that has a thermal pad under it for the component

Yes they are spinning fine. What kind of error perhaps?

Yes, The rear of the case where the outtake fan is very hot when gaming. Should I open the case(remove side panel when operating)? Btw I'm using NZXT CAM

What do you mean by put tape on cpu?

ha ha don't worry, i recently had someone that put tape around the CPU because they applied liquid metal instead of thermal paste
anyway if your air temperature is hot then it's not a faulty reading, and having the side open when your gaming isn't very practical open your cpu up agian and see if the thermal paste has become a thin layer, i think your dot technique might have failed to spread the thermal paste, if the thermal paste is spotty reapply in dry areas
also are your fans really fast/loud?

Well I have used CAM's fan profile and set it to go to 100% fan speed when it reaches 50C and at 40% fan speed when below 50C. Should I make the fan curve aggressive by set it to 100% when 30C up to 49C? I don't care about it getting loud because my Stand fan(House fan) is much louder than the computer's.

I recently replaced the thermal paste(I used deepcool z5) about an hour ago. The problem still persist.

Since you already tried re-applying the paste and that didn't help, there isn't much left to do than re-check your HSF re-installation to make sure it went on straight. If the die is really reaching 100C, what is likely to happen is random GPU resets if it detects internal errors from overheating and possibly whole system resets if the errors occurred somewhere that affects system RAM.

Thanks. Haven't experienced any system crash or sudden shut down from high temperature. Maybe my GPU's thermometer doesn't work properly? Is it because of that or not? I already used OpenHW monitor and NZXT Cam

A bad sensor is certainly a possibility. There is no easy way to verify that as that would require putting a separate temperature probe close enough to the die to independently monitor its temperature.

Have you tried running case fully open (no covers on) - if you have an air flow problem you should see lower temps...

Oh crap....I miss read your graphics card, so these differences are going to be way off (a GTX 560 is everything and anything but an RX 560)....
