Please check my GTX470 temps.

Hi all,

Could someone check these and tell me if these temps are too high?

GPU fan @ 100%

GPU fan @ auto

For the usage, is it too high?

The fan is rather loud at 100% >.<

Is that idle or in game?

92c is acceptable.

What case do you have?

Both are in game with quite a few programs running in background.

Antec P182

The reason I'm checking the temps is because i've been having a few BSOD's and they seem to be caused by the GPU or it's drivers.

Yep, what are the temps in game, use afterburners on screen display to show temps while in game. Have a play about with the custom fan profile in afterburner, auto fan on theese cards isnt great tbh.

Those temps are normal, if not pretty good for a gtx 470 with a reference cooler. Mine used to reach 100 degrees quite regularly while gaming. I have since swapped the reference cooler for the zalman cooler vf3000 cooler, so much cooler and quiter than that old vacuum cleaner.

Both of the screens above were in game Just windowed mode.

Hmm, ok, I guess temps are not my problem then. Thanks.

If it helps here are some Kombustor results:

Fan @ 100%

Fan @ auto

Custom fan profile should help a bit, 77c isnt bad, but i prefer using my own fan settings. Keeps both cards at 70c ono.

Mine used to get to 78c with the fan on 100%.

That's why I replaced it with a Zalman. The temps weren't really the issue, just that piddly little centrifugal fan did my head in. It's only about 1" across.

Bit high IMO (tho within limits) mine very rarely get over 80C max when gaming.
