Solve : What temps are normal for a graphics card?? |
|
Answer» I installed a new graphics card in my computer. After doing so I checked my temperatures with speed fan, and my video card was reading 50 to 51 degrees C. Video card can take much more heat, than CPU, so with 50-51C, you're perfectly fine. or of course, the temp. could be normal The front fan blows into the case, the rear and side fans blow out of the case. I did start the system with the side panel off to make sure all fans were working properly. I thought that a graphics card might run a Little hotter than some of the other components. I was just looking for confirmation. Thanks Broni. I appreciate your response Hot Dog.So then, if I had a video card that does not have a fan and it runs cool, should put a candle under it to it can run at the normal temp. Is that right?What is normal? Does it affect the fan on a graphics card to have another fan blowing at it or against the flow of air coming from the fan on the card?I am running a Nvidia Geforce 9500gT in my pc and according to GPU-Z tool, GPU temperature is hovering around 52 degrees C stable with speed of fan set at at 40%. I have not had a problem yet, I have EVEN left PC on for couple day straight, still no problem. I think if you go way past 52 degrees C by a lot, there''s probably a problem and do make sure your PSU ain't bad quality to add to the matter.

Still, The heat output of the PSU does not have much impact on the graphics card temperature. Some users report that they get better faster graphics if they can KEEP the Graphics chip cool. I would think 40 C is better and more normal. You might think i should add IMO. But that is not so, Many, may builders like the 40 C as the normal range.I've been checking out my gpu temps now and then using the GPU-Z tool and it's consistently giving around 50-52 degree C temperature range. A lot of people overclock their GPU, therefore making it a necessity to get the chips cooler so there's no overheating. My graphics card is from Gigabyte and it's factory overclocked to 700mhz as opposed to 550mhz standard. Oh yeah, you might want to be sure inside of computer where all the hardware exists are not dusty and have a lot of grime, which can add to the problem. I have a BFG GX series 550 watt modular PSU. It fit my budget. Dual 12v rails 140mm intake fan. 40 degrees seems impossible to reach from 50. How do I get there. It is a fairly new build. Only about 4-5months old. So dust is not an issue yet. I am also *CENSORED* about keeping it clean.40 degrees would be a nice temp but 50 degrees is still ok, just don't be constantly straining your graphics card if you don't need to.Sometimes, I don't understand, what's the big deal to just spend couple of minutes on Google, and find out the facts, instead of arguing for half of a day... http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=2712&pg=9 Normal temperature for that card is around 50C, and "maximum safe temperature limit of the GeForce 9400 GT rated by NVIDIA at 105 degrees Celsius" Good day...i'm saying that it's perfectly normal, but people just don't seem to understand. For the original poster, I was wondering why he wants to cool his card some morewhen it's already at a good temperature? |
