Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming High Temperature

[Leonardo Massoni]

Hi guys! I bought a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming, but i´m worried about the temperatures. Many reviews reported that G1 temperature stayed around 61 ~ 65ºC on full load. Mine stays at 70 ~ 75º on Full load on games like Ryse and Shadow of Mordor. If i open the side of my case, the temperature drops to 68. I have a Corsair Carbide 500. Even in a room with the ambient temperature around 20 ~ 21ºC. I use the default profile for the fan in MSI Afterburner. At 70ºC the Fan speed is around 70%. What is wrong? With the windforce I expect to drop at least 5ºC.

Those temps are normal.

that temperature looks fine to me. if opening side panel makes your temperature lower then check your air flow. if your case have mount for fan at the top use it as out take.

I did some more tests. I set the room temperature to 22ºC, opened my hardcase and my card goes to 70 75º degress on full load. I know it is a good temperature, but many tests reported a 60 ~65 and even 58ºC on full load. I even put some more thermal paste in the GPU, but nothing changed. Do you think could be a manufacter problem? I am paranoid?

EDIT: I did a stress test with OCCT and in 2min, max temps were 86ºC.

I had this High Idle Temp issue since 4 to 5 months. I search over internet everywhere cant found the solution. but then finally i bought gta 5 i love that game so much watching youtube videos of gta 5 ultra settings graphics looks so awesome. but when i do my gta5 graphics on ultra results loss of fps and shuttering occured. but then finally i rid this issue by my self and now i can play on ultra with full 60fps no shutterng fucking hell smooth you hav to do 2 things as mention below.
1. Open a command prompt. (Run a command prompt as Administrator in Windows vista/7/8)
Copy command line and Paste sc stop NvStreamSvc hit enter then copy paste 2nd line on 2nd task sc config NvStreamSvc start= disabled then hit enter close cmd
2. Go to task manager and stop this process. (Services and Controllerapp.exe32*)
close task manager. Now see your temp it will decrease and gpu utilization will be reduce from 97% to Early 1% to 15%
Suggestion: Keep ur Room Cool Always.
Hope it works for u all.
