hia i recently got hold of a gigabyte 580 SOC

running furmark burn in test, full screen 1080p 8 xAA i get a max temp of 63 degrees c

in hard reset for example, the temps can go up into high 70's almost touching 80 degrees.

this is all at stock clocks.

is this normal?
 
With more recent graphics cards you may find that the manufacturers specifically design them to not work properly with software like furmark - since these applications put the graphics cards under stress much greater than any game. As a result they get quite a few card failures due to customers running furmark and melting the cards (when the same card would have been fine in any game).

I suspect that is likely what is happening to your card.
 
do you guys think 80 degrees stock clocks is acceptable for the gigabyte 580 SOC? the fan is at 100% at this temperature which to me doesn't seem right for this card as its considered one of the quietest cards when under load available.

seen a review state that the thermal performance of this card is 63 degrees max in crysis.
 
Acceptable, yes.

But my stock cooler 580 had the same thing. I'd sugget emailing gigabyte asking if they'd be happy for you to reapply the thermal grease :)
 
Try disabling AA. furmark tortures cards when you throw massive AA on 1080p, and the card cant produce enough fps to actually max itself. when I was testing 6870 and a 7870 it was the same.

If that doesn't work, then they've tweaked it to cripple itself under furmark :(
