GPU Temp.

[RamboFB]

Hello,

Can someone advise the best way to monitor my GPU temp while in game? As far as I know nvidia to do not provide any software to do this. Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

Thanks for any help in advance.

MSI afterbuner.

Thanks I have heard of this, just wanted to confirm it was the best.

Cheers

MSI afterbuner.

Downloaded it tonight, perfect had everything I wanted and more. Thank you.

I am concerned my card is overheating, I didn't push it tonight but it got up to 70c pretty quick.

My plan is to detach the cooler, give everything a real good clean apply new thermal pads and paste and hopefully it might improve things.

GTX780? anything under 80c is fine.

Yep GTX780, had a few probs with the card and thought it was gone.

I think if I had let it run a bit longer it would have got to 80c. I played for ten mins.

RealTemp and GPU-Z, too.

If it's the reference blower cooler they do hit 80c and will reduce clocks to keep temps down. But yeah a few years old now so that stock thermal paste might be a bit crusty, new application might shave a few degrees off.
They don't have an OSD.

Thanks a lot, yes OSD needed. MSI afterbuner does a great job.
