Gtx 670 temperature

[joenscp]

Hi, I'm playing a few games such as crysis 2, at 1440x900 everything turned to max. My video card is a gtx 670 msi oc. When I'm playing games the gpu hits 80-83Cº at 60-65% fan speed. Is it normal? It looks a bit hot, and I want to preserve the video card for at least 2-3 years.
THANKS!

That is very Hot for this card at that res 1440x900 this card is barely even working hard. I have 3 screens on my 670 and it gets up to 73c at 40% fan. What is the room temps?

Thent

How is the air flow in the case. Do you have any fans on the cabinet ?

Cable management in the case is good. I have 1 fan at the front pushing air in, and 2 at the back pushing air out. I leave a space at the back of the cabinet so warm air can easily escape. I don't think air flow is a problem.

But I just did new reading with the msi afterburner and these are the results in crisys 2 1440x900 max settings:
Power: 73-90%
Gpu temperature: 69-71Cº
Gpu usage: 57-84%
Fan speed: 58-60%

The temperature went down now.. Don't know why, it's so irregular :\ , but it looks fine now!
