660vs 7870 tempratures ?

[acepro71]

ok so my friend has an 660 gtx

 

he is using dual monitors and has overclocked the card a little still he gets 80 C max

 

and my 7870 is running on stock clocks it maxes at 85 C

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

so i goggled a little bit i saw that logan said that 660 runs 10 C  lower than 7870

 

so why does this site shows only 1 c difference ?

What specific card are you running and your friend? Also is your case and well ventilated as his?

[WoodenMarker]

Are you guys using the same case?

we are both using the same case ...

 

he has three 120 mm fans in the case

 

i have three 120 mm fans and one 80 mm fan in my case

What model card if you friend running? like what brand and cooler. And I take it your card it the twin fan design from your sig?

[frontliner]

What brand/design card are you using? My sapphire hd 7870 doesnt go over 60C under full load, this in an antec two hundredv2 under my desk

[EChondo]

First of all, what are yours and his average room temperatures?

 

If your room temp is 40C, then your card won't be able to go lower than 40C, but if your friend's room temp is 30C, then his card can go to 30C while yours is at 40C.

then u have the lowest room temp there is

 

mine ~ SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5

 

his ~ MSI GTX 660 GAMING 2 GB

Different model cards, such as Asus' Direct CU or MSI's Twin Frozr makes a hige difference. There are too many variables.

Well there you go, the tf4 coolers are the best on the market in my opinion so ofcourse his is going to be cooler, the 660 also runs cooler but only by like 2c. Your card shouldn't be going up to 85c though unless your room temps are like 40c which is that case you need to solve other issues. Honestly set it to default settings and if it gets to 85c then just RMA it.

i remember having my 7870 and yeah that is toasty.. mine never got over 60 and that was with the msi twin frozr 3 cooler i believe or the 2 i cant remember off hand since my ex has that system now. either way reset your oc's and test if your still getting that hot like BlackOutCrisis said its probably a good idea to rma

well its on stock and u don't have a room as hot as mine

[xToFxREAPER]

Fair enough, like @BlackOutCrisis mentioned you shouldnt be hitting 85c unless your room is sitting at 40c or higher so i would still look at replacing it, and i probably have one of the lowest rooms temps of most anyone on the forums at the moment however i oc my cards to hell and back and still dont get over 60, the gpu in my sig rig is a prime example

[EChondo]

I have two 7870's in Crossfire, they are using the Twin Frozr coolers. My room is about 25C-28C on average, my GPU's do not exceed 65C while on load.

 

Have you thought about replacing the TIM(voiding warranty could ensure)? Just seems rather strange...

My room temp is typically around 20C. I would say that there is something wrong with either your fan profile or the heatsink isn't seated properly and needs thermal paste reapplied. Download Sapphire TRiXX or other software and set a custom fan curve and see if that makes any difference.

Are you running two monitors off the 7870 ? if yes then it will consume more power & output more heat.

i have already changed my TIM  also i don't think it voids the warranty as they can not tell if its changed or not

no i am not

well i can assure u that my room temp is at least 30 C as my cpu never goes less than that basically the cpu is running on 35C now so i think my gpu is fine as its running on 37/38 C

You'll have to be more specific with the sapphire card, because there are 2 models of the same card under the same name.

I have both cards running in crossfire right now, and the one in the second link is smaller, and the aluminum fin "density" is lower, so it gets hot faster than the old model (first pic), and its louder too.

 

you can see the difference in cooling in the pics I linked from google.
