Hi!

Anyway this is not about asking whether my temperatures are high for my graphics card but a discussion to know how a graphics card behave. I'm using a Inno3d GTX 760 herculez 2000s and currently at 1366x768 (please don't ask about the resolution, i'm planning on upgrading it soon to hd).

I'm wondering as to why my gpu have different temps on different games. For example, I'm playing BF3 at Ultra with a good 65c temps while playing AC4 gives me an 80c. I know it's not a dangerous temperature but given my current resolution, i'm wondering why it's doing so much work on AC4 compare to BF3. I thought a lower resolution puts more load on the CPU? And is AC4 more gpu inclined compare to BF3? I know that GPU boost 2.0 is doing it's job but i can't understand why have a temperature that high. I've seen others who play AC4 with GTX 760 (although a different model) that have like 60 to 70 temps at max gpu load.

Anyway some other stuff about my pc, I have 2 fans at the moment (i think both are at 500 rpm). One is intake at the side panel (near the gpu) and one is at the rear for exhaust. No overclocking. I also already tried to adjust fan profiles (highest at 75%) but always at 80c for AC4. But luckily I never went beyond 80c. Lol.

Advanced thanks to all input for my questions.

Your temps aren't dangerous as you know, so dont worry.

Ambient temps will have a big effect, how hot is it where the computer is?

Some front intake fans are always a good idea to get cool air in the computer. You could run more exhausts, but negative pressure tends to make the pc more dusty.

Wait, my temps are dangerous? I think i misinterpreted your statement. LOL

Anyway for the ambient temperature, I'm quite new in pc building so is this comparable to room temperature? Cause my pc is at an open space beside my table. Not under it or inside the table itself. Room temps would be at 30 most of the time since it's rainy season lol (is this high?) but probably would increase much worse on summer.

For the fans, is there a ratio to how many exhaust over intake (im find with dust, i do clean my pc from time to time).

Yeah them temps arent bad if your ambient is 30'c!

Its better to have more intakes (where you have dust filters) so all the air going in is going through the filter. If you have more exhausts, then it creates negative pressure which means air will be sucked in from any other gaps in the case without being dust filtered.

I tend to go more fans the better, but run them a slower speeds to keep it quiet. 2x 140mm or 120mm intake fans at the front is enough. Corsair AF140 or AF120 are nice for good airflow.

Oh I see, so positive pressure is better to lessen dust? But I've read some people prefer negative pressure despite the dust because they said it's better in cooling? Can I know your opinion about this?

Negative pressure can give you better temperatures, but with positive pressure you can still have exhaust fans giving you almost equal performance without all the dust build up. It all depends on how much the dust bothers you ( I hate having a dusty pc, as that ultimately ends up with temperatures going up over time due to the dust and can also make fans noisy or break in some cases).

You need to take note of your GPU usage while gaming in order to tell how hard your GPU is working. Higher GPU usage will cause higher temperatures. Some games are more demanding on your GPU than others.

I see. I just checked it out and it seems AC4 do take quite a punch in usage. 80-90% gpu usage at 75-80c. Seems reasonable enough?

That gave me a better idea of what I'll do with cooling my system. Thanks!
