doomcat9 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 If my room has an ambient temp of about 80c to 85c (<--- supposed to be f.. thanks iphone =/), what kind of idle temperatures can i expect from my gpu? My gpu for reference is a GTX 960 SuperSC 4gb edition. Im seeing between 41 and 45c idle and 65 to 71c on high stress (games like Crysis 3, or AC Unity). Online im seeing sites reporting as low as 29c and highs at 35c - 39c idle temps. im wondering if im doing something wrong. im guessing that their ambient temperature is much lower than mine. am i correct to think this?
davemb Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 If your room had an ambient temp of 85c you would be dead They probably have a lower ambient temp than you and different/better case airflow.
Vioxsis Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 80c good god man how are you not dead. Also if your gpu is idling at 45c and the ambient is 80c then there is a possibility of condensation forming around the gpu. But then again, i don't think there is a lot of water at the earth's center...
doomcat9 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 im sorry i meant to says 80f but the rest of the temps are c, i got autocorrected by iphone and didnt notice im sorry :/
...0... Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Maybe he means 8 celsius instead of 80 he just typed a 0 by mistake Or he maybe thought hey also Americans here who use this silly system with fahrenheit lets be nice and call it half way 80 but hinted better use metric system and use celsius so typed 80c
darkconsole Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 now that summer has gone balls to the walls in texas and i live at the top of an apartment building in the full glory of the sun god, i am lucky if my gpu idles at 45c with fans at 50%. in winter i'll idle at 38 with fans at 0%.
doomcat9 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 ok now that we've established that im an idiot, can you please answer my question? =P also my gpu fans are at 0 rpm. gtx 960 fans dont turn on until gpu temp reaches 60c
Anatriax Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Make a new profile in EVGA Precision x16. Set the fan to 30%. Change NOTHING ELSE. RIGHT click on the 1 button across the bottom of EVGA Precision x16. Always be sure to set this profile before you play.This particular card is setup so that the fan doesn't turn on until your temp reaches 60c and then it's at a VERY low speed. Making this change makes sure that your fan is ALWAYS running while you're gaming, reducing the risk of damaging your card. I use this setting on my GTX 960 SSC 4gb as well.

doomcat9 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 ii just applied your profile anatriax, and now when i play guild wars 2 on highest settings im getting 58 to 60c im hoping thats good
Anatriax Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Let me see if I can share my fan curve profile. 60c isn't THAT bad. Especially under heavy load. That's where the fans are DEFAULT supposed to turn on, and at appx 10% of max RPM speed. Ok. Click the "Fan Curve" button, and make sure you have these settings set in both P16X and on the fan curve.

Anatriax Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Yep. You should. As long as your minimum is set to 40%, you should be good to go
