Just got a new rig and for the last couple days monitoring the temps, the GFX card seems to run hot. Mainly, just sitting in CQ's for an hour will spike the card upwards to 70 -ŚC. EVE is running on maxed out settings, 250+FPS.
Card in question: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980
Now, I sort of assume the cooling in the tower is not working as it should.
Has anyone had their cards run hot like this during EVE or on another game? I'm bothered a bit that it's not running below 40 -ŚC (but on idle the card it cooler than 30 or 20).
....Anyway if it seems like it's cooking itself I'm going to have to spend money fixing this cooling issue.
Thanks for the response in advance. Fly safe o/

Nah, it'll be fine at that temp.
If you want to run it cooler though, turn vsync back on and set your graphics back to interval one in the eve client. You'll be gaining nothing running at 250+ FPS, a solid 60 will do you perfectly fine and your GPU wont run at 100% generating all that heat rendering frames you're not seeing. |

99% of the time, you're not going to get a modern GPU to run under 50c unless it's idling, running something absolutely ancient that has virtually no graphics demand, or unless it's custom loop watercooled. Anything below 80c is generally fine for a modern GPU, and some of the top end ones are rated to go even higher.
For a GTX 980, anything up to 75c is fine. It's not really going to run below 40c in extended gaming sessions, period. Not unless you custom watercool it. You'd be lucky for it to run below 60c if it's playing any kind of modern game. EVE is ancient and will max on any semi-decent PC built in the past 4 years, so you'll probably be able to hold 40-50c in EVE. My GPU's run at like 38c in EVE but mine are custom watercooled. |
