40c idle

[TheEpicMap]

I have an r9 270x, exact model here: http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-radeon-hd-r9-270x-b1-90924-1011.htm

 

I have used GPU-Z and GPU temp.

On idle my temp never go below 40c, my room temp is 27c, I have plenty of air flow in my case.

 

I have looked around and this doesn't seem to be a normal temp for the gigabyte model.

 

if any one knows why this is, or if it is just normal for this card, some feed back would be great.

 

 

PS: i'm getting a NH-D15. should i use the nt-h1 that comes with it to replace the compound on my 270x?

Are the fans spinning? What's the fan curve look like for it?

Idle temps are not important. My 290 idles at about 40 45 c after a gaming session but doesn't get hotter than 75 under load and it's oced. 
Load temps matter the most

@AlwaysFSX

The fans are spinning. as for curve i'm not sure what you mean.

40C idle is totaly normal for a 270X

I idle at 45c on a 290. It's fine. Ambient temps of 30c-32c

i idle at any were from 45-50c because i run 3 screens down worry about it its the load temps that matter

fan speed curve is how fast the fans will run at different temperatures (eg: at 40 degrees the fans will run at 50%, at 50 degrees the fans will run at 55% etc...) programs like asus ai suite 2 or corsair link let you customize this.

Im rocking 50 c idle

I have a Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X model. Idle temps are concerning seeing as Nvidia is usually my go to brand for GPUs but the guys here are right, idle doesn't matter (well, not much). I hover around 40 C on idle but usually don't go past 70 or 80 while gaming.

APOLOGIES. I don't know how I ended up on this old thread. My mistake.
