Weather temperatures are up, so how are your GPU temps?

arc@css · 10 Jul 2013 at 15:06

The fan is on auto.

I don't know why Afterburner doesn't allow the speed to be manually set below 40%. My 480 SOC had a minimum fan speed of 30% iirc.

Hmm about my clocks being at full all the time. I think its because i use 2 monitors, 1 main 24" and a 19" tft for just email and steam and gadgets like clock and weather.

This is what i found on the net about this.

GPU Runs at a High Performance Level (full clock speeds) in
Multi-display Modes
This is a hardware limitation and not a software bug. Even when no 3D programs are
running, the driver will operate the GPU at a high performance level in order to
efficiently drive multiple displays. In the case of SLI or multi‐GPU PCs, the second GPU
will always operate with full clock speeds; again, in order to efficiently drive multiple
displays. Today, all hardware from all GPU vendors have this limitation.

Bummer. So thats why im at full clocks all the time.

Edit -

After reading about it, it seems that in order to get around this issue what i have to do is take the 19" tft vga and plug it into my i5 3570k onboard gpu and run that there that way the 570 isnt doing dual mon itself. So far it seems to have worked.

Tho the gpu clock does go up sometimes to 750 for some weird reason when i do something like open chrome or somit similar like IE, then drops the clocks to 450 then to 50mhz.

Still, hopefully this will keep the 570 a bit less power demanding now i.e not running full speed all the time and will save a little power and hopefully a much better temp now. Which atm its hovering 36-37 at a fan speed er well just see the pic kinda above. Cpu running with igpu active doesnt seem to be any diff temp wise its still around 36 idle atm.

So yey me for fixing that issue hehe.

Running hot tonight.

Sitting around 36c and even getting up to around 40c when watching a trailer on Steam.

Ran this for another thread today but it has the temps on it. The cards were running at stock and the CPU (3930k @5.0) was also in the loop. Ambient room temp was 32c

gublok · 13 Jul 2013 at 23:49

can play any games atm it shut dowm form a overheat playing ff7

VIPER258 · 13 Jul 2013 at 23:49

Up to 39 tonight from 33. Not played any games but would most likely get up to 65.

PhysicsMan94 · 14 Jul 2013 at 01:19

My i7-4770K is at around 28°C idle and 38-40°C under load (watercooled).

And my GTX-780 idles at 34°C and goes to around 60-70°C when playin graphically intensive games, and reaches 80°C when running Unigine Valley at Ultra and 2560x1440.

Need to get that 780 watercooled eventually

Darujhistan · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:21

My 7850 is 51 degs @ idle, it's usually 30-35 degs @ idle.

Something Else · 14 Jul 2013 at 13:41

jesus it must be boiling in your room!!

just played tomb raider,and my oh my it really strains my 7970.

clocked to 1100/1550 and the sapphire cooler was at 81% fan speed with peak temp of 81c haha

cpu has peaked at 65c today while gaming.

>>>South facing 2nd story room, gets the sun all day. And for some reason is also several degrees hotter than any other room even in Winter, when no sun is seen.

On Holiday · 14 Jul 2013 at 14:37

GTX 680 about 10°c higher than usual. Idling at 47°c lately.

Tonester0011 · 14 Jul 2013 at 14:44

Still same temps here

When i got back from my bike ride yesterday it was 35c in my room :eek:

Kei · 14 Jul 2013 at 14:52

Current weather has pushed the ambient up to 29 which gives:

Idle - CPU 40 GPU 45
Load - CPU 59 GPU 61

Norm for me with an ambient of 23 was:

Idle - CPU 33 GPU 38
Load - CPU 53 GPU 56

Silent_Scone · 15 Jul 2013 at 14:24

Titan Tri Sli, 30c idle. 75/80c load. But we do have a rockin' aircon unit in here set to 20c

jackle13 · 16 Jul 2013 at 13:18

wow I need to sort out my cooling then...

CPU: Up to 69-75 deg

KFA2 GTX 770 - 40-44 Idle, Load: 79-80 constantly.

This is my own failure for not sorting out the airflow in the case and leaving it stock. ( Corsair C70 Vengeance )

johny dolan · 16 Jul 2013 at 13:25

GTX 780 40c idle 80c load

Divx · 16 Jul 2013 at 14:50

gtx780 - watercooled
idle 27-33
load 45-60

titaniumx3 · 18 Jul 2013 at 03:59

GTX 780 (EVGA SC with ACX cooler)

Ambient: 27 °C
Idle: 30 °C
Load: 67 °C (Heaven Benchmark)

Back in March when I first got the card, I'm not sure what the ambient temps were (definitely a lot cooler), but I got these readings:

Idle: 26 °C
Load: 64 °C (Heaven Benchmark)

riskyfrisky · 18 Jul 2013 at 11:16

My PC is like me, getting hotter and hotter and we hate it.

Idle temps are usually around 31 degrees but at the moment it's hovering around 41 degrees in the afternoons. Room temperature does tend to be on the warm side though, about 30 degrees or slightly above. Fan profile is set to 32% speed, gaming is a no-no in this weather.

titaniumx3 · 18 Jul 2013 at 12:05

Problem for me is audio. I can very rarely use my speakers, so almost always rely on headphones which become uncomfortable very quickly in this heat.
