My GTX 780's Reach 80 °C In-game ! is it okay?

[yoyo77s]

I have two GTX 780's running on SLI and i get over 80 °C In-game, is it fine or should i change something ( BTW i use an  Ft03 case which is a mini ATX case and i dont know if that matters) 

[MegaDave91]

80 is perfectly acceptable. Be wary of temperatures in excess of 95. Your cards will throttle at 80, so they're being bottlenecked by heat. :0

[Deletive]

yeah. it's a stuffy case. (parts don't have as good air flow as a big atx case)

[Interfectorem]

I think 80C is quite high for an Nvidia card. It seems like you have decent airflow to them with that fan blowing onto them. How long have you had them, if a long time, try taking them out and dusting them.

80 is still safe.

Well ignore what I said then, apparently 80C is still safe. Sorry for my ignorance, I don't own an Nvidia card.

Please do some research. Almost every high end nvidia card ever made runs at over 80c on load. The exception being the GTX 680 because they crippled that card and opted to make it on the more conservative side and so got beat out by AMD.

[melias24]

Where'd you get the sli bridge? And 80 is still safe.

[Enderman]

It's fine but they are probably throttling. You should clean out all that dust from your case and use fan filters. Also add more fans if possible to improve case airflow.

Yes yes, I corrected myself.

It throttles at 80C, so you're probably not getting full performance out of it. 80C is safe, but it means it is thermally throttling.

Yes yes, I corrected myself. 

Not to meantion the hottest and loudest card ever made the GTX 480 it when up to 100c and sounded like a hair blow dryer.

[SpyRosL]

And you are lucky they only hit 80C with that setup.The throttle btw on nvidia cards when hitting 80C is minimal.

 

Dat SLI bridge tho.Where did you get it?

[Wingfan]

Might want to clean that dusty out of there, so much $$ sitting there and so much dust

Forced throttling @ 80c is so ridiculously stupid.

I don't see any cash there. Even if there was cash I dont think it minds a nit of dust LOL.

[TheSLSAMG]

Considering they are reference cards with no slot spacing in a limited-airflow area of an already crap-at-airflow case, I would say it is fine. Don't worry until you get into the 90s.

[Luc401]

Your good until the cards start thermal throttling. Hopefully those have that feature , if not 95+ is there Red zone.

If you are comfortable with 94C and then throttle,suit yourself.I don't find it stupid at all.

I did testings. They don't throttle back to 800mhz as most think. it's a minimal impact between 50-80mhz for seconds.

oh ya, i forgot 780's are dirt cheap

[yoyo77s]

ok so thanks everyone for the replays. But they are getting to 88 sometimes and thats both plus i saw people using ATX cases and they never get to 80. Also yes i did clean then a week ago when i saw the temps

I like hot ass cards it means they are beast. My old 480 used to go all the way up to 100c and it did not throttle a bit just pumped out lots of framerates. Card still works perfectly today and will for many more years to come.

It's absolutely fine and will not hurt the card one bit. Even with the stupid throttling feature on these current cards with 2 780 you should have plenty of smooth performance in any game. Start to worry if you cards go past 95c.

my brother got me the two GTX 780's and the SLI bridge was with them he said it was a deal or something from a website. IDK sry 

[Lord Pantaloons]

I see quite a few misinformed people here, GPU boost 2.0 is set to let the cards run to to 84c by default in order to allow the card to reach it's highest possible clock. Nvidia wouldn't set that and then have their cards throttle at 80c. Nvidia 7xx series GPU's generally start throttling at 92-94c regardless of GPU boost settings, anything up to 90c is fine though it is suggested that you don't always run them that hot.
