When does the GTX Titan Throttle

[Silentghost14]

My friend is having issues with his GTX Titan and I think hes is thermal throttling at 87c. I cant seem to find a direct answer searching forums about were his temps should be at. I was wondering if anyone else has experience dealing with GTX Titan cards could help clarify when it should start to thermal throttle. Thanks.

Increase the fan speed GPU.

 

Add more fans to the case for better airflow.

 

It throttles when it it set to throttle.  Would you rather have a broken Titan X?

thats normal, titan Xs thermal throttle

 

increase the fan speed or buy a better cooler so it doesnt throttle

I can tell when a GPU is throttling. The problem I am having it my friend does not know much about computers and all I have to go on is the bits of information he give me. I know different GPU's have different tolerances for how much heat they can handle. "Increase the fan speed GPU. Add more fans to the case for better airflow." I understand this and I have already conveyed this message to my friend. I suspect hes throttling but I do not know whats normal operating temperature for a GTX Titan is. I am more a AMD expert.

Its not a GTX Titan X its a regular GTX Titan.

Tell him to dust it out, clean it.

Knowing him he probably needs to clean it out anyway so I will have to ask him when the last time he cleaned it. I still have no way of clarifying if it actually is throttling because I do not know what the normal temperature range of operation is.

You can search tolerances for the Titan X or grab some monitoring software like MSI after burner to log the GPU's performance in game.  It will create graphs to show you where/if throttling occurs.

But are the tolerances the same between the Titan X and the normal Titan? I thought the Titan X was a different architecture.

I think everyone can't read/has forgotten about the regular Titan and are auto-appending an X.

Max temp for that card is 95C. Card was designed to run about 80C normally. Harder you push it more than likely the lifespan will be shorter. It's entering at your own risk past stock. How long it will last is anyone's guess. My Gigabyte GTX 680 is quite a bit overclocked but runs tops of 60C so I'm less worried about failure than what I'd be in your shoes pushing 90C.

Shit, I saw GTX Titan and thought I saw Titan X... sorry.

 

Same thing, just find the tolerances for the GPU.

Ya I saw that post as well. The problem I have with it was it seemed to be the only post I could that had the information about what the operation temps of the GTX Titan. So Im not sure how credible the information is or even were the original poster even got it from. So that's why i posted on here to get a second opinion or if someone know more information.

Ya I also saw that on their website but maximum temperature does not necessarily mean the temperature at which it starts throttling.

A GTX Titan will actually try to run at 80 degrees C. As GPU boost 2.0 is temp sensitive/controlled. The card will overclock till 80 degrees C, unless it reaches 106% of TDP first, which would be a 265 watt electrical draw.

@Silentghost14The Titan will lower it's boost clock at 80 degrees and throttle at 94.

I'd take that guy's word for it then, he got the max temperature right and usually it does mean throttling as my 290 has a max temp of 94 and throttles at that.

I guess that pretty much confirms it to be credible. Thanks to everyone who has posted I really appreciated your help.
