Had this gpu for about a year and a few months and im idling at 70 Deg. Celsius can someone tell me why? im g2 leave a bad review

Mine idles at 30 deg celsius I would check the fan and heatsink mabey replace the thermal compound

It's either a defect or you don't have enough space in your computer ( I'm not talking about GB, PHYSICAL SPACE) Airflow etc. What are your other specifications? Is your CPU running hot as well? What program are you using to check the GPU temperature? After double checking all these problems I would be confident to say that you received a defect.

I wasn't, but my friend was and he said at idle the temps were anywhere between 35 and 40 C. At full load the temps were about 60 C. I would highly suggest getting a H100i, my temps at idle are about 15 C and 31 C full load.

That is an old problem that has been fixed. I bought this PSU about 6 months ago and have a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 and I've never had a problem. The PSU has been working perfectly.

I would say not. I doubt you'd have enough room to really do your GPU any good but besides that the card is somewhat small. If does however help keep the GPU cooler, or at least I've noticed mine has. Because my room is always warmer /colder in summer /winter my computer gets hot more easily if I have high settings on. After getting the card it helped. If you really want to cool your GPU have you looked into liquid cooling ?

The laptop gets very warm if left unregulated. I actually fried a mobo while playing bf4 and it got up to 97C. Now that i got the mobo replaced i downlowded nvidia inspector and you can limit the temps in that application. Since I lowered the maximum temp to 85 degrees it has been working with out skipping a beat and I don't see a noticable performance hit while gaming either.Hope this helps

I have had overheating problems on all three of my Gtx 660 ti cards. I play Skyrim with about 243 mods and my card used to overheat. I have gone to a closed loop water cooler setup using the NZXT G10 bracket. Water cooling worked well, BUT, first, check the air flow inside your computer case. Without knowing what your particular setup is, I will give you some generic ideas. make sure your fans bring in outside air as low as possible and exhaust it as high as possible. Also small cases are great for aesthetics but suck for air flow. Try to get a case with the best airflow you can get. Also remember hot air rises so the floor is the optimum location for your case, if you have carpet, set the case on a piece of thin plywood to keep the carpet fibers from getting sucked into the computer. If you are overclocking anything, cpu, ram, gpu (video card), you are creating unnecessary heat. You can add more case fans depending on your case configuration but one solution that has paid off in spades is I replaced one of my GTX 660 ti cards with a G1 GTX 970 by Gigabyte and that puppy ROCKS and runs cool to boot. The non G1 rendition is slightly cheaper but does not cool as well. Anyway, good luck.

Sorry for the late reply here bud......The fan on this thing is pretty excellent. After a 2 hour long BF4 session the fan can cool from 75c+ down to about 35-40c in 2-3minutes.

Ive ran this with 2 7990s and 1 R9 290 and its gotten fried two times. Yeah had to get an RMA twice. I had to buy another power supply and run them both together jumpstarting the other one.

I dont know much about the EVGA version, but my understanding is that this ASUS version run cooler and quieter. You can look up comparison videos on like 5 or 6 different versions of the gtx780

I would like to turn you away from this PSU; I ran two GTX cards in SLI and this power supply didn't hold up too well. I recommend NOT getting this power supply for crossfire. It's not power efficient, it doesn't have the best stable voltage, and lastly 600 watts is a little low for multiple GPUs. Also when I was doing SLI on this I swear it almost overheated and cooked to death. You should get a bronze-rated Corsair like the CX750 instead. I upgraded from this PSU to the HX750, at the time I bought it, it was around $120. Best power supply I think money can buy that isn't overkill. Gold rated, modular, and the fan doesn't run at all on idle use. That's another thing, I had noise issues with this PSU. Do yourself a favor, get a good power supply and avoid this. I don't want to call it junk, it was pretty decent, but honestly I wish I went with something better to begin with. I think Corsair is the best name for PSUs. Either them or Cooler Master also has some nice models.

I have the reference card model wit the stock cooler. My ambiant temp is 30C while the card temp is on 40C on zero load with the fan speed on 26%. Opening a demanding game quickly torches up the temp to 90C, which the temperature limit I set for GPU Boost 2.0 using MSI Afterburner.

I have had it since October with no issues at all.I must say that a BIOS update was needs because there were some throttling issues, and I consider unacceptable fiddling with a brand new out of the box new GPU BIOS.But beyond that I haven't had any problems.Probably some production batches were faulty and hence people having issues with it, maybe I was lucky.So far my experience with this card has been great, but that's just me.

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Nope the card is VERY quiet but of course i have a water cooled system which is loud so you don't here it the fan idles at 26% and max fan is 55% and max temp that I have seen it hit is 62 degrees Celsius and that was under full load i recommend this card

If this can keep my 290x gpu under 60C on load it can keep a 4790k under 80c. I mounted this onto my powercolor pcs+ 290x gpu with a Antes G10 and it brought the temps from 82C on heavy load to a comfy 60ish. Just make sure you use decent thermal paste and use the pea method.

I believe if you overclock the card, especially if you have 2 of them in SLI, they might produce some noise. I have a lower-end GTX660 (might upgrade to the GTX-780 in 3-5 years) and at its default settings, it runs pretty quiet.So again, it all depends on if you're planning to overclock the card.

I currently have no extra fan at this location and am using a single EVGA 660ti video card. I would highly recommend a quiet 120 mm installed here if you are running a SLI Graphics system or you are experiencing hi temps during game play.
