Is safe to play with 80C?

[litwicki24]

Hey. I have a question. Is this safe to play with 80C temps on GPU? I have Windforce 770.
Its ok? Or try to RMA it?


Please fast reply. Today i must decide. To keep card or change it. Then next wait two days to get next WF 770. But first i am asking you forum

Is this at 100% fan speed?

 

[litwicki24]

Its 66% fan speed.

 

[maniac]

if the fan speed is on auto you should set a manual fan speeds to go up higher than normal. Also what the room temperature like?

 

[barnsley]

Okay the fan profile is probably not done correctly, not your fault it just happens sometime. Imo it should be at 60% when it goes over 65c.

I don't know how to do fan profiling for Nvidia (if it is even a thing) but I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction ^_^.

So............? change it? Or keep it and play on 80C?

 

[Edge]

Neither, increase your fan speed and cool it down.

80c is the temp limit set by default, the card overclocks itself till it hits that temp limit. if you want a cooler card, just change the temp limit.

Change the fan settings. I know you can in evga's precision tuner (works on non evga cards too last time I checked).

EVGA PrecisionX or MSI afterburner. Mine is set to 100% at 70c and never goes above 73c

I've never had to touch the fan profiling for my 280x (mmm 58c max ) but I've done it with my old XFX 7870 more than enough times. Its amazing how much better the cooling is.

 

[litwicki24]

Asic is 97% so i guess its ok?

 

[barnsley]

By the way, how do you get those temperatures? Is it gaming normally or is it when you run a benchmark test?

 

[litwicki24]

Like other persons with that card. While playing and testing . Get 79-80C . I am not the only one.

Benchmark software arguably puts more of a strain on it than gaming.

I thought 80C was to be expected air cooling the newer Nvidia cards to be honest. It won't be a problem for the card as they're designed to be able to handle it, so try turning the fan speed up and ensuring you have good airflow throughout your case.

 

[SavageCupcake]

What kind of airflow do you have to the card? as in what case and fan setup? changing my fans round dropped a few degrees off.

My GTX 480 has been at 90-94 degrees for what, 3 and half years now, still works awesomely, 8800 GTX longevity killer.
