What are good GPU temperatures

[AaronG 21]

What are good temperatures for a gpu? I open msi afterburner and it says (when I play games, ex: gta five) that it reaches at 65c is that good? Bc when I touch the gpu feels hot

Yes 65C will feel hot, your body temperature is 37.

A GPU is fine up to 90-100C.

Obviously the cooler the better. I personally don't like letting my GPU go over 70 (blower style card). So 65 is fine and will feel hot to us, but these chips are designed to work under load.

 

Keep an eye on load as this will affect the GPU's temps in Afterburner.

 

I use NZXT CAM top check temps, it also has another feature, Afterbuner should have it, to set a custom fan curve so you can enforce cooling if you want to instead of allowing stock fan curve.

 

Just in general, If you hear the fans really going up you might be putting the GPU under too much stress. Check its usage/temps and scale back your game as appropriate.

Under 60 is great. Under 70 is good. Under 80 is fine. Generally you don't really want to go above that, but many cards are rated for 90-100. Really it's the temperature cycling which damages hardware

Ok! I didn’t move neither touch any setting on msi afterburner, other than the fan speed, Bc when I put it on auto, the fans turn off, even on high end games, which causes to over heat for what I have known, this happened two days ago, so since then I just manually change the speed, if I’m playing high demanding games I put it to 90, 100 fans speed and it keeps it to what the after burner says 56-70 degrees. I was worried that it could be that the sensor was broken and it was giving me wrong degrees, but about what you guys told me from our body heat I guess it’s fine if it’s at those temperatures, if you guys can help me on what to do to let it run automatically and fans work normally please let me know
