Inquisitorus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Once it starts getting into the 70's u should be worried. Downoad Evga tuner so u can ramp up ur fan speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsshinzo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 99C is around the point you need to worry, an average temp in the 80s will be fine. What is your coming out at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NABB Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 GPU's can take alot of heat compared to CPU's. My gtx 570 goes up to 60-70C in battlefield 3. Swtor shouldn't make it alot hotter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failhoew Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It will force shutdown at 105 i believe, so its self protective, anything under 90 is not a problem, you might want to run it around 75 if you going do keep at that level 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadroid Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I haven't been in SWTOR since beta and swapping out card. I just ran the witcher2 on ultra setting for 10 minutes and it was at like 55 C Substantially hotter then my less powerful 5670 ati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runeii Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 GTX560 ti temp in a good case Idle 46 °C Load 75 °C I would start to worry about 90 °C. Your card won't burn or anything, but you might decrease the living time of the card. New graphics cards today are made to handle over 100 °C. If it's too hot it will shut it self off. What is your temp in the case. You might want to take a look at the airflow in your case aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroid Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 everything else in my case is cooled extremely well I have a side case fan over the card I can put on to pull air out of the case right over the gpu. Is this a viable thing to do or should I place it else and pull cool air into the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcior Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Also make sure you turn vsync - ON, or else you might get something like 200fps and its unneeded load for the GPU as you will see no difference between 60 and 200 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbiEtObi Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 it should be as low as possible. A good Value is around 45 ′ centigrade. The Temp heavily depends on your cooling system of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Temp heavily depends on your cooling system of course. 45 is average for an IDLE temp. My 5770 runs at around 70-80 when playing a game. According to the official specs of the card it can handle up to 99c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Once it starts getting into the 70's u should be worried. Downoad Evga tuner so u can ramp up ur fan speed 70C is normal operating temp under load, my card* goes as high as 85C under 100% for a few hours play. If your card goes higher than 100C then start worrying, even then it won't damage the card. *See sig for my card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neofate Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 ummm what should my GPU temp be at im scared of blowing up my gpu I just bought its a 560ti All cards are a little different in what temps are 'good'. Just as different processors handle temps a bit differently. For your 560ti -- You generally don't want to push over 75c on any consistent basis.

Technically maintaining temps at 90+ C,.. will shorten the 'life' of the card if this type of activity is sustained. If you find your temps remain over 75-80C on a consistent basis I highly recommend you spend a few bucks and get a better cooling system. Even directing a case fan on the card can lower temps 10 C. That said, maximizing your overall airflow IN the case.. with positive and negative pressures, overall airflow, CFM, etc will effect all components, including the Gfx card. Alot of people overlook wiring in this equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Also just to add, my card idle's at 33C I have an Antec 1200 case, it has 4 intake fans and 3 exhaust fans (1 is a 200mm big boy fan from Antec which is the blow hole) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpinda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Your temp is fine. But if you are really concerned i wouldn't change your airflow. You say you got a nice airflow yes? If you want the temp to lower you are better off getting a aftermarket active cooler for you graphics card. ( this does mean removing the stock cooler, getting rid of the thermal paste on the gpu, applying new paste and new cooler. So depending on your experience with these things, something to think about. Or asking a computer savvy friend) Lower temp means it runs stable and it leaves room for overclocking. OCing a graphics card when its already reaching 80 degrees celcius is not a good idea for stability. If it tops at 80 degrees on full load and you don't plan to OC then its fine. Accept when you get artifacts or stability issues then its a good idea to think about better cooling.

Nadroid Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Should my side fan (on the side of the case) Be pointed in towards the gpu or out towards my room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcior Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) It should remove hot air from inside the case, so towards your room. Edited December 15, 2011 by Kelcior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddickcz Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have two graphic cards GTX 260 OC in SLI. Pretty small case for them so first card is somewhere in the middle of the case with about 50° during playing on full. Second card though is all the way on the bottom of my case and therefore harder to cool. That second shoots to 87° which is a little higher, but never gets over that so Im still good.

Kingpinda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Should my side fan (on the side of the case) Be pointed in towards the gpu or out towards my room? you should at all times keep a good airflow. Ussually outtake fan or fans are at the back. power and chassis fans. all other fans should therefore be intake. so side fan should be blowing inside. Else you disrupt the airflow by having outtakes in different directions. this messes up your airflow. Which results in higher temp. Edit: its better to have more intake than outtake. this will result in less air being pulled through the front semipermeable slots. This results in less dust getting in your system.

Lasica Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 My 560ti is sitting at 63 degrees Celsius at the moment. That's in the middle of a wow raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHauntingBard Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Most GPU's can easily handle 90 degrees Celsius , though I would not recommend it. I would keep it around 70's , having 75 is alright. Personally I prefer a proper cooling on my card. My 580GTX is not going over 60 degrees with an over clock on air during heavy stress testing (1150 voltage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
