Gtx 670 max temp

[ultimatebot]

hi guys
i just installed the new gtx 670(evga). my card reaches 82C when playing crysis warhead at max settings(everything max AA 16xQ) except vsync. is it ok for it to touch the 80s???

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Yup its ok till that. Fans are running on 100%, Right?

Actually, I'd start worrying if he were achieving those temps WITH full (80%) fan speed...
Don't remember how hot my 670 got when I last played Crysis, but I hit about 70C on BF3 overclocked, on 60% fan speed.

 

[ultimatebot]

yeah i think the fans are full.. coz my load was about 93% and its not overclocked. i live in india and here the ambient temperature itself is a little bit high.

Mine has never gone above 48, thats playing games like Skyrim (max settings and modded), Crysis 2 (Ultra and HD texture pack), Metro 2033 etc

 

[SevenVirtues]

Is there enough air circulating in your case?

Can't edit my own post.

Found this on the EVGA forum, seems like normal temps for that card:

Well Evga isn't much friendly to Cooling :lol: Look at that card, No Fans.
So thats Nice temp for that GPU.

But I'd say use MSI Afterburner and control your Fan speed.

just now checked with bf3 and it touches 81C at 90% load all max 4xAA

my current case is a smaller one... so the air flow is a bit bad.. got my new case CM HAF 912 just today... so going to install in it tomorrow. and btw guys my current psu is huntkey 650w titan. 18A on 12v rail.. my proccy is i5-760 stock. is the psu ok?

I too live in India, but the Temp outside doesn't effect much. Well its Winter

Do these steps and then share here:


Install MSI Afterburner
Enable On screen Display

Play games and Then check these things:

GPU Temp:
GPU Usage:
GPU Fan Speed:

Yes that PSU is fine. I'd also say these temps are normal for this card based on the research I've just done.

If you want cooler temps you can look at aftermarket cooling, like this:

I think your o.k. look at the temps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnLUJxCBZUg

That temp is fine but one thing you should note is at 80C the card starts throttling itself to keep the temps under 80C it is not dangerous but you get more out of the card if you keep it under 80.

This says 97C is max temp so you are fine.

*scratches head* That's odd, don't think I've ever seen my 670 card hit 80C before in BF3 on max settings..
Oh well.

i checked with evga precision and yeah i will try the fan control with msi afterburner and share here

Whatever you use, just tell the specs.

 

[ultimatebot]

changed the fan curve in precision and now the temps dont go beyond 68C bf3 touches 65C at full load and 75% fan speed and warhead touches 68C at full load and at 80% fan speed... are these readings ok?

Sounds about normal for those fan settings, you should be fine enjoy!

Thats just Awesome.
As in India it is Very Hot in Summer, Keep those fans at 100% in Summer. :lol:
