[WTA]Is My GPU Temperature Normal?

[joojoo1995]

I want to thank Stratos for his XFX GTX275,Corsair XMS2 1066MHZ Performance Ram,And Acbel 510W Power Supply...These upgrades made my gaming experience better!I only have one question...When I am not playing games...my GPU can reach 42'C...Is it normal?

[Eugene91]

lol that is normal la..

[StratOS]

High-end gpu will produce more heat. Thats why asked u to change ur casing last time as well..

joojoo95, Please Check your PM. Thanks.

normal de my rig's GPU idle can go up to 60'C

[dennos2]

so wat's ur processor?

[miriguy]

what is GPU ??

[dennos2]

what is GPU ??

grpahic processor unit a.k.a display card chip

[joojoo1995]

ooo...but how come my XFX GTX275 can be cooler than ASUS EN8600GT when GTX275 is a better card?

[GeminiGeek]

Your 8600GT is silent one, those type runs hotter. And plus, GTX275 is newer cards, usually newer cards are cooler, lower power consumption and faster.

Should buy graphic card with a cooler fan. Though graphic card silent one is design to withstand the temperature, I still won't want to risk my com. So why choose graphic card without a cooler fan???? Just wanna ask.

[joojoo1995]

ooo...that time I bought an Asus EN8600GT because i din't anything about computers yet...

it seems like your casing has pretty horrible airflow, so yes, I would recommend a new case. Try the evga precision program I mentioned here:

and try upping your GPU fan speeds as a temporary fix

And, what type of processor did you use with your GTX275? Like you mentioned before, it was E2200 right? E2200 will bottleneck badly with GTX275. So i recommend a new processor unless you have upgraded already.

oh is GPU means graphic card, btw if it is....how to know the temperature ?

[GeminiGeek]

My 8600GT runs at 57c on idle. LOL!

42'c is really very good already,

u should only start to worry when ur gpu temp reach above 70'c ,

my 3850 runs on 45'c idle, and during load is 62'c .

of course, to maximize cooling efficiency, a good casing with good airflow should be used, adding fans will help reduce ambient temp by 1-4'c depending on casing air flow.

worst case scenario of high temp is that blue screen/artifacts appear. or if thermal cut-off fails, ur gpu fries.
