GPU Temps?

[Marvlin]

Here's a nice easy one for you guys.

My Nvidia 295 GTX is running at 67 Degrees C at idle and can go up to 94 Degrees C when in Game.

Isn't that a little hot? If so what should I be looking for the temps to be?

Ta guys

Looks like you were right guys. I looked at the GPU and it didn't look that dirty but I got the dyson going on the heat sinks and fans and now I am getting these temps

Idle = 57 degress C
Load = 81 degrees C

Thanks for your help

sounds like it needs a clean and new TIM

BTW, what is a TIM ?

 

[Marvlin]

"Thermal interface material" for between the heatsink and contact with the chip.

Ahh, I see. The CPU temps are fine, it was just the GPU that was getting a bit warm

He he he.

Its easy taking the gpu apart. Its just about 10 12 screws. If you can build a computer its nono harder.

That card is old now. (still good tho) so the Tim will be dry. You could clean the inside better while doing that. I think you could get 5c off that easy. Will make it quieter as well.

Interesting, I'll take a look
