Does my GPU get too hot?

75 is fine.

Hi people,

 

I build a PC a couple days ago. I did some heavy gaming today (BF4) to push my GPU to its limit and see how it would do. It performs just fine, however it gets up to 75 degrees Celsius. I haven't seen it getting higher than that, but the PC gets pretty loud too as the fans spin faster. The temperature on my CPU goes about 55 degrees max when heavy gaming.

 

I got a Gigabyte R9 280x along with a AMD FX8320 GPU. The case is a Corsair 200r. The room I'm playing in is kinda hot too, which might impact the temperature on my GPU. I've read online how these GPU's can run very hot, but is 75 Celsius normal for this card?

Edit: To why your pc is loud under load. Are you using the stock amd cooler on your 8320? Because that thing sucks! :D

No I actually got an aftermarket cooler for it, the coolermaster TX3. I know its not as good as the 212 EVO but it's a lot smaller which, for some reason, I care about.

 

The loudness under load is caused by the GPU. I honestly haven't opened the case and listened or something, but the CPU runs fine at usually even lower than 40 where's the GPU goes crazy.

Okay got it, seems to be fine... anyone got an idea on how to make it less loud? I mean I surely can't change the stock coolers on the GPU but is there some other way to decrease how loud it goes at least just a bit?

You actually can change the stock cooler on the gpu, but idk how much work you are willing to do, but other than that no. You change out some case fans for some noctua's, and that'll help but the AMD R series have always been judged for sounding like hair dryers xD

Get faulty windforce card and take the cooler off it. easiest way to do it.

Your temps are fine. i had 2 GTX 480s years ago and they done 100C+.

Nah not planning on doing to much work, I also don't overclock anything. Seems to me like its a hobby and usually not needed. I'll consider changing case fans because I also have an empty fan slot, and currently 2 stock Corsair fans running. Might change them for better ones and add another, to have 3 in total
