IS THIS possible?! :O

Wow I just rolled back to 87.25 Beta Nvidia from their latest driver and my temps dropped to 30 degreees C @ idle. Is this lying or correct? Because I don't want to be misreading my temps. Thanks!

Yeah it's possible. What heatsink?

I'm guessing your ambient temp is around 20*C with that temp.

VF900 CU

CPU temp: 20C

System Temp: 37C

Gpu Temp: 30C

These are all Idle temps.

Cpu has a thermaltake Big typhoon

My guess is that the two sets of drivers you used each read the temps differently, and in reality your temps are the same.

 

[mVp24]

so which one is correct?

Btw when I ghave you guys those tmps all my case fans were on 50 percent and the zalman was on low.

 

[FragTek]

I'd say split the difference and you should be close.

around 40 idle and 54 load when the zalman wa son high with odld rivers these oens say 30 idle 45 load on LOW settings
