Long story short my friend mail me his MSI Geforce GTX 950. Temperature spike to 75c while playing one game. My GTX 750 stay under 55c while playing four different games. My Power Supply 400w. Can anybody recommend good Power Supply keep my temperture below 60c.. A lot people say normal be at 75c but not normal for me.

zt series 750w modular power supply

That's what I've got; works very well for me. My 670 is always at a moderate temp.

I find FSP PSUs to be reliable. My current one has lasted over 6 years with a lot of stress on my PC through many of those years keeping my pc idle without turning it off. Have a look and search away. http://www.fsplifestyle.com/Home.php?LID=1

Thank you Sin.

Your PSU has nothing to do with your graphics card's temperature.

Looks like 65-70C on load should be expected with these cards.

----------------------- idle load
ASUS GTX 950 STRIX ---- 49°C 66°C
MSI GTX 950 Gaming ---- 48°C 64°C
EVGA GTX 950 SSC ------ 49°C 71°C
Gigabyte GTX 950 OC --- 32°C 68°C
ZOTAC GTX 950 AMP! ---- 35°C 71°C

If the room temperature is high and/or the airflow in the case is poor then 75C (on load) isn't that unusual.

 

If you insist on buying a new PSU then both Seasonic and FSP are reliable brands.

Not unusual.. Damn, four or five fans not enough support this bad boy.   Sad can't do nothing about temp, but go ahead upgrade Power Supply. Do it now instead waiting at last minute like lazy person. Thank you very much Bjornk.

hey

 i have a suggestion for you~~~!

 

the thing is the 900 series have fans that do not start spinning until it reached 60c so what you need to do is download afterburner and set the fan speed to 30% on idle that will start you off on a cooler temp hence when it heats up it will be a lot less hot

 

 

source: i have a gtx 960

 

your 400w psu is ok but for 900 series i recommend a 600w not bother with anything over 600w its unecessary its like having a 20lb bag of rice when you were ever gonne use 1lb

Using a custom fan profile is a good suggestion indeed.

 

My personal advice would be to buy a PSU that has at least 20-30% more wattage than what you'd actually need on full load. This is because PSUs are generally more power efficient between 20% and 80% load. To give you an example, if your system requires 400 Watts on full load, then you should look for at least a 480-520W PSU. On full load this PSU will be running at about 80% efficiency.

 

You should also keep in mind that both the efficiency and the actual power that the PSU can supply will degrade in time (within a few years), so you might want to tolerate that as well.

Thank you Obi Wan Kenobi. May the master race force be with you.

If this helps you in any way...

My current GPU is

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB GDDR5 Superclocked with EVGA ACX Cooler

 

 

and my temps...

  Idle     32°C - 33°C

  Load    68°C - 72°C (sometimes 73°C)

 

I added 2 Jetflos near my GPU because my temps are 84°C before this, now MAX 73°C

 

 

I used ASUS GTX 660 DirectCU II OC 2GB before this,

 

it's MAX temp was 68°C but died after 11 months, and used EVGA GTS 250 1GB before that

and it lasted nearly 4 years with 92°C MAX temp,

nothing against the sub-vendors tho, but my point is it's how things work,

Different cards, Different temps

hope this'll clear your mind a little.
