EVGA GTX 980Ti Hot

Yeah... mucked up the bios?, how do you mean?

Happened to a mate of mine, He got a GTX 680 and it was permanently running in 3D clocks no matter what he did, He flashed it with a similar bios and it fixed the problem.

Just a thought, Do you have "Prefer Maximum Performance" or "Adaptive" selected in the Nvidia control panel ?

I only ask as this could also account for the high temps as it will always be running at near boost speeds.

Ohh well that is just lol dude... and not sure where to find that as I can't find anything with performance in it. And funny mine is in Swedish lmao and not English -.-

Yah, used Youtube and mine is set to Adaptive

Ok cool, The 65'c temps still don't make any sense to me though, As I said earlier it was 32'c in my area yesterday, With my fan set to auto while watching youtube it never broke 50'c, Very odd indeed.

*EDIT*

Correction it got to 53'c while watching a video on youtube as I took a few screenshots doing comparisons on various personal projects.

Yeah it was... now it's at 47C though, after I changed the fan curve to the 1:1 ratio like you told me and the fan is at 2255RPM.

What are your idle GPU clocks according to Afterburner ?

Just for reference this is my GPU temp in Asus GPU Tweak with Steam, Chrome playing a video, Skype, Thunderbird and Origin open.

Core clock, Mhz = steady 810.

Yah, that is a bit odd to be honest ... but then I do have quite a lot more tabs in chrome than you have lmao. IF that makes any difference?...

The thing is that I had your temp 2 days ago, before this 30+C hit outside.

If you have more tabs open it could make a difference but I can't see it making a massive one.

Even having the refresh rate at 144Hz does up your temp but not to 65'c, I have a BenQ 144Hz and I never see 65'c when idle.

As I said it was 32'c here yesterday and the most I saw while idle was exactly 53'c when watching a youtube video.

It is a little baffling.

Haha like everything that I own is baffling somehow lol.

Yah it was weird, although now when I changed the fan like you told me, I have a steady 47C though. Still a bit high but a more respectable one.

It's 144hz on the desktop is the problem as it ramps up the card,I had this problem from going from a 120hz monitor to the rog swift as I set the rog with 144hz on the desktop and notice over 10c increase with my Titan x on idle so if you set your monitor to 120hz on the desktop you will be sorted,as for the fan change the AF are case fans and the SP are cooler fans.

I always change the thermal paste on the gpu as the factory always put way to much on.

You're correct sir. Changed from 144Hz to 120Hz. Temps went from 44C down to now 34C lol.

So guessing my temps were lower before as I then had the Swift on 60Hz lol. Didn't know the refresh rate of the monitor could make that much of an impact on the graphics card.
