780 TI hits 92 degrees.

[TheNaitsyrk]

Today I overclocked my 780 TI SLI, I opened modded Skyrim to see FPS. After a while I got 92 degrees, and it was running this hot for maybe a minute or two. I'm not sure if both of them were 92 degrees but I'm assuming that they both were running this hot. Did I just accidentally shortened the lifespan of my GPUs because the temps got so high?

[Swndlr]

No, but it would help to know a little bit more about your system to help out with the issue.

Are they water cooled, air cooled, what model are they, when was the last time you replaced the thermal paste?

Nope, but try to keep your GPU around 80-90C.

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

No, that would have probably been too short to make a difference. Try getting better airflow in you case...

[TheKDub]

As long as it wasn't for too long or anything then I'm sure they're fine.

 

I tried running skyrim at 4K with DSR on my gtx 970, somehow managed to set the fan speed control on my gpu to manual, so within seconds it was up in the 90c range, card is still working perfectly fine.

 

Just add more fans to your case if room, and separate the gpus by a pcie slot or so if possible for optimal airflow.

[TheKDub]

Nope, but try to keep your GPU around 80-90C.

 

I'd say try to keep it below around 74c or so.

[Br3tt96]

Are your fan/fans on auto? You can adjust the fan speed with msi afterburner.

[TheNaitsyrk]

Replaced thermal paste on a GPU? What.

 

There's no issue, I just wanted to know if both of my cards were running at 92 degrees for 1-3 minutes then does it shorten it's lifespan? Apparently, such a high temp shortens it's lifespan by 50% so I just asked to make sure it's all fine. Obviously I did power limit 106% and it's insanely hot in my room. I'm on air. Overclock was just a short test.

 

EDIT:

 

I have crap loads of silent corsair fans that are currently running on turbo. I can feel the airflow 1.5m away from the case. Air ventilation is at it's best with my full tower case. GPU fans were on auto. Power limit increased to 106% the locked 82 degrees changed to 105 degrees, but thankfully I noticed 92 degrees on one GPU to be 92 degrees, I think the other one was 88-90. 2nd one is always cooler for some reason. I've got the MSI Afterburner left hand corner notification thing.

GPUs use thermal paste too, you know.

[TheNaitsyrk]

I'm aware but I never heard of "normal" people that are actually replacing thermal paste. I only replace thermal paste on my CPU. Not to mention these GPUs only are 11 months old.

[X1XNobleX1X]

GPU's are designed for high temperatures. Max for a 780ti is 95C.

How are we defining "normal"? We don't even know who you are and therefore cannot judge what you have or have not done.

[TheNaitsyrk]

Yeah I was 3 degrees off it, that's why I was/still thinking that I shortened GPU lifespan.

[KieranFretwell]

I forget the software, i think it is evga precision x you can set it so your card does not go over a certain temp. I have mine set up so it does not go above 82 degrees. 

[Godlygamer23]

First, you're making a claim: "GPUs are designed for high temperatures." Secondly, the max temperature for my 3570K is 105C. Are you going to make the same claim? "CPUs are designed for high temperatures because the TJ Max tends to be around x value." The TJ Max is just that...a thermal junction value that the chip can hit before it becomes ruined.

[TheNaitsyrk]

Temp limit after raising power limit was 95 degrees, sorry I thought it's 105 or 110. I usually do the same, both sit at 80-82 degrees all the time, but this time I wanted to go "over the top" to see the FPS increase, but I got carried away and I noticed that temp reached 92 degrees. It never went over 84 degrees since I bought them, so that's why I was concerned that I damaged something.

We're not talking about CPU's here. We're talking about GPU's. 

1st, it won't become 'ruined' at the TJ max, because it will throttle itself down, reducing the damage. 

 

GPU's are designed for higher temperatures, anyone will tell you that.

If you're here to discuss something that's not related to the thread then just leave, not to mention you don't actually seem like you even want to help.

 

All I need to know is: Did I damage my GPUs by reaching 92 degrees on both for 1-3 minutes? Did I shortened both GPU lifespan by quite a bit by reaching 92 degrees knowing that 95 is the actual MAX for 780 TI?

That's all I need to know, seriously simple questions.

[X1XNobleX1X]

Yeah I was 3 degrees off it, that's why I was/still thinking that I shortened GPU lifespan.

I have a question are you using any GPU monitoring program such as MSI afterburner?

 

When using programs such as MSI afterburner, you have to set an "automatic fan curve", if not the fan will run at around 20% causing the GPU to run hot.

I had done this once, cause my GPU temperature to ramp up dramatically.

If someone is making a claim, I will call them out for it whether it's related to the thread or not but it is related to the thread topic which is about temperatures and chip damage. To answer your question: No. Both chips are fine.

You, probably didn't do any damage for having it at that temperature. If it was at that temperature for hours, you probably would have.

Both CPUs and GPUs work on the same principles and use the same materials. I also said that the TJ Max value is a temperature that the chip can hit BEFORE it comes ruined. Anything beyond that is going to ruin the chip. You're going to have to provide evidence that GPUs are designed for higher temperatures than CPUs - I did a quick Google search and found no one making that claim.

[TheKDub]

GPU's are designed for high temperatures. Max for a 780ti is 95C.

 

Yes, but that doesn't mean you should run them at high temperatures constantly.

[X1XNobleX1X]

Yes, but that doesn't mean you should run them at high temperatures constantly.

Never, said that they would be okay to run at that temperature constantly, refer to my first post.

I said that the temperature should be in the range of 80-90C. 

[TheNaitsyrk]

It only happened with Skyrim. It's set on ultra with everything maxed out 4K res, and I never ever had such a high temp. Even on Shadow of Mordor when I play on high settings 4K on my overclock it never reached 84 degrees. Usually it sits at 82 degrees, weird. Constant 82 degrees is perfectly normal for 780 TI I know that. 92 is definitely not that's why I was concerned.

 

So I know I didn't damage my cards, but did I shortened their lifespan by any chance? Not that it really matters because if they break then they're still on 4 year remaining warranty.
