TheHostileGamer Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) So I'm sure somewhere buried in these forums there is a similar post , but I'm going to jest be a rebel. When I game for long periods of time my card is topping out at 82C, does this seem right? I heard these cards run hotter but dang my old 5850 topped out at 60c. Lemme know, Thanks!

Waco Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The target temperature is 82 C to keep them more quiet. All is fine with your card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 82 decrees is nothing to sneeze at. The ati 4850 i had in the past was blowing out 110 decrees and worked fine for a long time. Although that would be pretty high for my standards for any kind of card. If higher than 95 decrees, i would be worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHostileGamer Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 What are your guys' thoughts on using some 3rd party app like Afterburner or EVGA to regulate the temps a bit better by ramping up the fan speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'd say, get NVIDIA Inspector. Best thing for NVIDIA cards imo. You can: Overclock Set fan speeds Make custom profiles for games, with AA options that actually work in games that don't have it. It is basically a glorified version of gpu-z and the control panel in one, with more options to boot. http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/nvidia-inspector-download,4.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 You don't need to regulate the temps any better. 82 C won't hurt a thing even 24/7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I've said it before and I'll say it again, if it's any throttlin', it ain't hotter than it should be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Is it a reference GTX 770? If so, then 82C is pretty typical. You can always help it out more by placing a 80mm or even 120mm fan below it pushing more air than the graphic's card can do with it's own fan. Also, replacing the stock TIM with a good TIM can help a decent amount, too. It's just a hassle on higher-end graphics cards due to the possibility of ripping the thermal pads on it when taking off the heatsink.

I argue that it'd put out MORE heat if the fan was ran higher since the motor is running at a higher speed and therefore using more power and giving off more heat, however slightly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
