I thought people were being funny or overdramatic about AMD cards and their heat.

 

 

But... I added a 3rd monitor and now it's 48-50c idle....

 

My room, jesus my room, like a sauna over here.

 

I can't wait until it's winter, no heater needed anymore, my GPU will do the trick.

 

GPU in sig.

Honestly, I still don't get the fuss and my card's an older AMD card.

I say just make a good fan profile on something like MSI Afterburner, that works for me. Mine never goes above 80C on full load, and that's without going above 80% fan speed.

Yeah I know, but I have a 290 and those are famous for their heat right? :P

I really doubt a third monitor will make your room noticeably hotter.

 

the difference would be barely measurable, let alone perceivable, unless your room is the size of a closet.

 

If you're using old non-LED monitors it's probably the monitor itself.

That's probably your airflow.

Well I don't know, it wasn't a problem before,  not too much heat etc. But it is now. I didn't change anything. I do clean regularly. And no cables are in the way either, should have good airflow.

It's a 144Hz monitor.

It's not a problem but more of a WTF moment.

OP's talking about the third monitor increasing his idle GPU temps :P

My Sony TV would noticeably heat up my 8x10 room. By a good 10f

it looks more like he's complaining about the heat in his room.

 

Idle temps are nothing to bother caring about.

 

GPU temp doesn't really correlate that well to heat output.

hence the last line of my post, but I meant to say LED.

Well then I am stumped.

 

I also have a new LED mood-light but that small thing barely puts any heat out.

I don't care about idle temps tbh. I let mine idle at 50-60, but they don't get higher than 80 under load.

 

Mind you I don't think much of Palit's cooler on them. I will probably go Twin Frozr when I eventually upgrade.

Okay I put the fan to 100% a while ago, it's 43 idle now and it seems little bit cooler here in the room.

You do realise that the GPU is cooler because more of the heat is being moved into your room, right? If anything your room should be slightly warmer.

No, there is a wide open window above and behind the computer. :P

Well that'd be why your room is cooler, not because your GPU fans are at 100% :P
