Gigabyte 280x Rev.2 temps

[mushtafa]

While playing Sleeping Dogs just now, I noticed the GPU temp was sitting at 94 degress. Surely this is too high isn't it?

Is that the windforce card?

It certainly is.
Apparently the first revision of the card ran hot and noisy, but thought they had fixed those issues as the cooler is designed slightly different.

I've also got one but it doesn't get that hot mate. Do u have enough cool air blowing in to your case?

 

[mushtafa]

I think I have enough airflow.

I've got an Antec P182. It has an intake at the front inline with the GPU. I'll try to stick a pic up, it'll be easier to explain

What's the fan speed like?

On the GPU? I'm not sure. I'll check and report back

Also try it with the side of the case off and report temps.

Well if you can't hear it then it's possible the fans aren't spinning up properly

Right then, ran a couple of tests.

For whatever reason, The GPU stays at 97% load while the game is paused. The temps maxed out at about 90 degress with 100% fan speed.
I took the side of my case off and left it for 10 mins. Temps dropped to around 75 degrees and fan speed at 93%.

I left the case off and let the GPU cool to around 38 degrees, and loaded up Furmark.
At idle the temp was 38, fan speed 25%. At full load the card temps hit 82 degrees with max fan speed.

What I did notice though, the windforce cooler starts to rattle/vibrate once fan speed hits 80-85%. If I touch the corner of the card, the noise goes.

I'm fearing the cooler/card may be faulty

Sounds far, far too hot for that fan speed.

I've just noticed the fan tachometer in Afterburner. Not sure why it's doing this?
