Hello! 
I was wondering while playing EVE, if it was normal, for my graphic cards to reach very high temperature. I own two EVGA Nvidia GTX 580 SC ( SC = superclocked ) built in SLI. Has an example: one of my GPU reach temperature up to 70 degres celsius and the second GPU reach up around 60 degree Celsius.
Not been a graphic card expert my concern was to know if it was normal, that this type of graphic cards, would reach those kinda of temperatures. I play other games also like: BF3, Skyrim 5, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, etc and I also reach those kinda of temperature, as well. I heard from other players that it was normal for these kinda cards to reach that high temperature.
Thank you!  |

You can try opening the escape menu and setting Interval to one.
This activates vsync, which fixes your framerate to your display-refresh-rate and should
lower the amount of work your GPU does.
If you're docked and seeing your avatar, then it's quite possible that your GPU
generates some heat, because it's quite GPU-heavy. :)

It is set to interval one. So? is this normal then? Well it sure doesn't fix the vertical sync, cause I get FPS from 200 to 350. So? |

Interesting.
This usually works.
Have you set VSYNC to OFF specifically in your drivers gfx options ?
Try setting it to two, then. If that doesn't change anything, it's either a bug
or your driver blocking.
And yes, some parts of EvE are GPU heavy and it's perfectly normal if it runs hot.
You shouldn't let it run too hot though, i believe. That's why people normally set the Interval,
if they believe the heat could be an issue.

Hi again! I had deactivated the Vertical Syncro in my GFX Cards option, and now I have reseted it. I set interval in game to one and now it's ok. I am having FPS in the 60's steady, instead of the 300, and I have a decrease in heat of 10 degree celsius. So 60 degrees more reasonable, then 70. But both of my cards are guaranteed for life. So not to worry.
Thanks again for info! All seem's to be ok now! |

if your graphics card runs too hot your cooling is insufficient (check airflow inside the case and clean any dust) or your gfx driver is crap, a well-designed system should be able to run at 100% load indefinitely without overheating
For your cards the max. safe temperature seems to be 97 degrees Celsius but you should double-check this on the manufacturer's website/gfx card handbook. |

70 C is on the high side but is within acceptable operating temps for the GTX580. I have a feeling your case is just barely providing enough airflow for those cards, for instance do you notice a significant drop in temps if you remove the side of the case? Also running in SLI the airflow to the top card tends to be restricted a bit, especially if the PCI-e slot layout sandwiches the cards close together. Honestly, SLI is overkill for EVE unless you're running at some of the larger resolutions like 5760x1200.

I believe the more recent NVIDIA cards are designed to run hot.
Those temps seem about right for a SC card, IMHO.

D: You people have dual GPUs working? Can someone tell me why my second card does not run when I play EVE? I have crossfire 6970s and when I play other things I check the GPU load on both goes up, but when I play EVE the second card never does anything. I was under the impression EVE didn't take advantage of this stuff.
Thanks in advance!

Well with the vetical synchro on, I get now 55 on one GPU and the othe rone, I get 60 degree celcius wich is perfect. And no my cards are not overheating. At 70 degree celcius with the graphic cards I own, specificaly my GTX 580 SC in 2 WAY SLI, they are not overheating. I have seen 90 degree celcius for my cards on the net, and that temperature is even backed up by the company. Also my cards are lifetime guaranteed, no matter what. Also my PC is very well ventilated and free of dust, cause I make sure every week, my pc is cleaned up, and all drivers are checked up, for updates.
CU and thanks! |

Yes the PCI-e slot sandwiches one of the card, and of course it's not my fault but it's a fact. My motherboard is an Asus Rampage II Extreme, and the PCI-e slots are very close too each other compared to other brand motherboard I have seen, on the net. I will check by opening up the side panel to see if I have a big drop in heat and I will let youknow the results. And my tour is a Thermaltake Element V, very well ventilated and I have also added 2 more fan on it. Also I use EVGA precision tool, to control the speed of all my fans.
Thank you! |

What is normal is people upgrading their GPU without upgrading their power supplies and cooling systems. You have to know if the cards themselves are generating that much heat due to EVE, or is your cooling method just not up to the added heat being generated normally. More times than not it's the latter, not the former. Take it from a ladder farmer.
