High gpu temps

Hi guys,

I have the corsair 600t case, and I have added the optional side fans to the case, to help with gpu cooling. I am using sli palit gtx 780 ti gpus. When gaming they tend to reach high temps. I have just started playing witcher 2 (late to the game, I know) to play it safe at first I went with the medium settings even though I know I could easily pull off max settings. When playing witcher 2, both of my gpus reached 72C, this was the max, the gpus tended to stay around 65-70C whilst gaming. What do you think of these temps? Are they too high or fine? Remember I am only playing the game on medium settings.

When playing it on ultra the gpus are around 77-79C.

Thanks all!

They look alittle high but should be alright, just play it on ultra, it won't be hard at all for 2 780ti's, My 660ti can do it.

 

How hot are you ambient temps?

CPU: i7 3770k@ 4.6Ghz@ 1.23v - GPU: Palit GTX 660ti - MOBO: Asrock Extreme 4 - RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - PSU: OCZ 650watt - STORAGE: 128Gb corsair force GT SSD/ 1TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm

Those temperatures are completely alright. Due to Nvidia's GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce GTX 7xx graphics cards will boost their clockspeeds as high as possible within the preset thresholds of power consumption, voltage, and HEAT ouput. And unless you overclock them manually and change those limits, the default max temp is 82°C. So your cards intentionally boost themselves up to that limit and are designed to operate constantly at this certain speed under load.

Wow that is good to know. So nvidia is pretty much saying that anything up to 82 is perfectly fine due to the boost? And they shouldn't really go over 82C because of the boost?

Nvidia have set maximum values for those settings in their card's bios. Those limits are max power consumption of 110%, max voltage of 1.200V and a maximum temperature of 95°C. Anything within those boundaries is totally within spec of the gk110 architecture and 100% covered by the associated warranty. So even if you were to run your card(s) overclocked at those max settings 24/7, everything should work just fine and there should be absolutely no issues.

 

The preset 82°C is only a recommendation from Nvidia at what they think a 780 ti should run at within the reference design, with the reference cooler. This has mostly to do with finding a good compromise between compute power and noise output due to higher fan speeds of the cooler at higher temps.

 

But apart from the reference cards from Nvidia there are a lot aftermarket cards (like your palit ones) with better cooling solution that allow for a better performance/noise ratio, so the user can either have the card running cooler and quieter at the same level of performance or squeeze even more performance out of their gpu without sacrificing on heat and noise.

 

Long story short, anything up to 95°C is 100% fine. But you can decide yourself how you want your cards to run (speed, noise, heat).

What do you think the cpu temps should be like? I am currently getting around 55-65C cpu temp.

 

thats also totally fine, anything up to 80-90°C under load is the maximum for a cpu without shortening its lifespan. So you are just fine.

Palit doesn't have the best coolers, and since there are 2 in SLI yeah 79 under full load seems fine. Since it doesn't hit 80 it won't throttle so don't worry about it.
