Gtx 970 86c?

[magicammo]

hello im a bit concerned about these temps im getting  86c? it is enclosed in a node 202 but still it seeems pretty high

[VinsinityKT]

mine gets 80 degrees. I would get a little uncomfortable.

[Cereal5]

a Node 202 is really restrictive. GPUs are meant to see above 90 but I would just make sure it doesnt go any higher than that

depends on what cooler you've got. Do you have a reference or aftermarket cooler on it/which model do you own?

Replace some thermal paste if you can and turn up the fans of the gpu to like 100%

Try get an high spinning fan as an intake, then the other as a exhaust?

wouldnt that just cause air to stay in one place?i may be abklle to add a fan on top where the cpu is aswell as an exhaust? so the 2 near the gpu will be intake.im running furmark and its not going over 86-87c

Reference coolers run hot and in this cramped case... Should be ok, but I find it above the comfortable limit. So get more cooling in the case. Also you could dust stuff out since that could possibly be also increase temps.

I guess you won't get much cooler because reference. but a couple of degrees maybe with extra fans

Really even if i get 2 fans? im running furmark and 86c is its max. wouldnt 2 static pressure fans help just a little i want it down to at least 80 or in the 70s

well the reference design scored even on a open test bench afaik the typical 80-85°C. Don't think you will get much below that, but it is worth a try

Oh so this temperature is normal?

For a reference card in a Node 202, it's pretty normal, especially since there isn't too much airflow going on inside the case. Mine goes up to about 75~78c max, but it's an SLI setup with ACX 2.0 and it's in a midtower. I wouldn't be too comfortable running it for an extended period of time at 80c+ though.

I got a FTW 970 in the node 202 also, I also see high Temps on mine. I'm also thinking about getting a couple of fans to push more air into the card, the difference is that yours is a blower style so just 1 fan where the intake for your card is should help since the exhaust is on the back of the case. I had to set a fan curve on mine to lower it but it sounds awful. Also overclock is virtually impossible because of the bad Temps.

Imma juse sell this case and get a fractal design arc mini r2 it's only like 3 inches thicker and a few inches taller so
