idle temperature of a GPU?

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7850 and when my PC is idling (few tabs open on chrome, steam, skype etc) I have about 28 degrees Celsius on my GPU.

 

Obviously this isn't dangerous because this is a low temperature. The reason I'm asking is because whenever I search up other idle temperatures from other people, they get 40+ degrees Celcius.

 

My fan speed is usually around 25 - 40%

 

I live in Australia, so it's not like I'm in freezing temperatures.

 

Why is it so low? Is it normally this low?

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I use MSI Afterburner for the statistics.

You have a stupidly good card to have it idling at 28C O_o.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Yes is normal

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

my GTX ref cooled 780 idle at around 50 degrees C, so your card obviously have decent cooling, if you are bothered that your card runs too cool then i guess you can OC it a bit to get it up to normal temps on average.

 

What brand of 7850 is it ?, or is it a reference cooler ?.

I know right!

 

My room gets very stuffy and hot when I'm in it for more then 10 minutes. When I opened the window and had my room fan on full (during summer) I managed to get the GPU down to 20 degrees. I didn't even think that was possible...

What do you mean what brand is it? I'm new to computers. 

 

Reference = stock?

 

If so, then yes, I have stock cooling system for my whole PC. (I think)

it all depends on how many monitors you have running when i have 1 screen on mine idles at 30c as soon as i turn on the other 2 it goes up to 45c it does this because the core clock of the GPU is raised

How are you getting 20 degrees C in summertime in Australia? Surely it's hotter outside than that.

It is, I don't even understand. It's probably 30-40 degrees celcius outside, and my GPU is usually around 30 degrees.

Your temp measurement is not accurate. It is impossible to cool below ambient air temps like that. Might want to try a different bit of software.

I'm from the uk and my gigabyte windforce gtx 780 idles at average 27°c. The very lowest i have seen at idle is 24°c and highest 31°c.

 

I would have expected idle temp to be higher in Aus.
