Recently i just learned about GPU temperature...its showing its around 80 degree celcius. Is this bad? Im using a Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTX with 2 monitors. Any help? |

Quote: Your normal operating temperature range of a GPU core on load is about 70C-80C depending on ambient temperatures. These things can take up to 125C without failing.

+1 GPU's run hot, I have a 9800gx2, which is 2 9800gtx's strapped together with 1 cooler, needless to say it runs hot. 80 is "acceptable" mine will get close to that under heavy load. If you want to drop your temps, you can pull the cooler off the card, and put new thermal material on the GPU itself. That may be too complicated, but you can still clean it out (im sure its full of dust), by just getting some compressed air, and blowing out each cooling fin, and the fan itself, while you are at it, clean your CPU and the rest of the computer out. This can drop temps up to 20 degrees C. Putting the new thermal material on mine got it about 15c cooler, and keeping it clean keeps it cool. Next time I pull my card out for a full cleaning (about one a year, I normally dust out the entire PC about once every other month), I plan on switching it from Arctic Silver 5, to GC1, which I put on my CPU and northbridge already and dropped my temps by 1-2 C (the AS-5 was getting old and crusty), but it is much better because its non-conductive, and it last 10x longer than AS5, plus it has no curing time. |

drivers? Bad overclock? how stable is your CPU? I was losing stability on more intense games after my last overclock because of stability issues/driver problems. Rolled back drivers, and went back to optimized defaults... and haven't had a problem since. :0 |

9600 gt, updated drivers, did not overclock it but tried downclocking it and still does the same thing. My cpu is stable as far I'm concern. |
