[Question] GTX 960 temperature

[TheOfficialNar]

Hi,

First of all I am new to the forums but have been following this youtube channel for a bit now.

I just recently purchased a new Inno3D GTX 960 Herculez X2 2GB and I've noticed that the temps are a bit high. It usually gets to around 75C @ 92% fan speed at stock clocks. Is this normal? I saw some people saying that theirs are at around 65-70C. I even made my own custom fan curve to no avail.

 

 

Would really appreciate any input in regards to this one. Thanks!

That cooler is not the greatest,however,those temps seem a bit high for a 960.Can you repaste the card? I remember reading a post in a forum about the 970 version from Inno,and changing the thermal paste solved the problem

Whats your Room temperature and what about the Case airflow?

He recently purchased that card, i don't think he should go for repaste that quick

Some Inno3d cards come with bad thermal paste,bad quality and sometimes badly placed.That's why i suggested putting new paste

@TheOfficialNar take a look at this

Room temp is roughly around 35C or lesser, case airflow seems good as far as I can see, no wires randomly hanging around with 2 intake + 2 exhaust

 

that fan curve is the only thing that goes to 90% at 72C.. your card is running at 34C and idling in the afterburner screencap..

 

Are you saying that the fan curve I made is bad? Yeah it's on idle when I took the screencap, but you can see the max outputs there though.

Hmmm.. I just got it though, a bit hesitant that I may void the warranty, I never really checked if the pcb and hsf are properly aligned. 

Edit: Also my cpu is air-cooled if that makes any difference.

bugger it i've gone blind

 

it's a bad paste application, BUT, you should just send the card back, get a refund and go for a 380. Better card, just avoid asus

 

It may look like it, since I've tried checking around the internet and saw that a fair bit of people have this same issue and a repaste solved it. I'll take it out and give it a quick look tomorrow and decide from there though.

Mind I ask why did you buy that brand specifically?

Well it's the best I can get at this price range, gpus are hella expensive where I'm from. Are they bad?
