GTX 1080 Temps?

[Azakius]

Was interested in looking at my temps for my GPU, noticed at idle it's sitting at 60, is this too much? From what I can see, 40-50 is an acceptable idle temp?

What exact card do you have? It might just be the refrence design blower style cooler. They run hotter than the dual fan non refrence gpus.

I've got the Pali GTX 1080 OC Dual card.

It's not a popular brand so I couldn't see what other people where getting. As long as you don't go into the high 80's on load I wouldn't be worried.

depends on your ambient temps and case airflow, but ~15-20C over ambient at idle looks to be normalish with air coolers, probably in large part to the zero rpm @ idle fans that have become standard. But yeah load temps are what you have to be concerned about and being a 1080 it should balance @ or below 80C at full load

Any free programs I can download to put my GPU under load to see what it tops at?

Having run that Furmark 1440p test, GPU maxed out at 80, that's not bad I guess, was just concerned as I saw lots of people saying it should idle at 40/50!

like I said before this is dependent on ambient temps and case airflow, I'd guess you probably don't have great airflow though, unless your room temp is actually 40C...it really helps to have air flow in through and out of the case in as direct a manner as possible, and preferably get air blown under the gpu so it has cool air to suck up rather than hot air that gets trapped in the case

I'm looking to get 3 case fans to go on the bottom of the case and another 3 to go on the top as  I'm using the InWin 303 case.
