GTS 450 temperatures??

Post by THE_STIG »

I currently have a stock GTS 450 and would just like to know what sort of temperatures others using this card are getting.

At idle: 35 - 40 degrees

At full load: 79 - 84 degrees

Now I think 80 is a little to warm but maybe this is normal :scratch:

Seems a little bit high... according to Nvidia the Max safe temp for the GTS 450 is 100 degrees. I rekon it should be in the 65-75 degree range at load

That is what I thought, but I dont know what others using this card are getting. I suppose I will start looking for a better cooler

Did a quick search, and some peoples fans were only going up to 30% on "automatic" control. Don't have an Nvidia card anymore so not sure how one would check this. You could also make sure your case cable managment and fan setup is good.... Maybe a fan blowing in directly onto or, just under the card so its own fan can suck in fresh, cool air.

The 30% fan story sounds possible, I will get MSI afterburner going and see what the fan is doing.

The inside of my case is relatively neat

I think I have found the problem. And it is indeed the fan speed. It stays a 30%(1500rpm) until it reaches almost 80 degrees and then starts bringing up the fan speed but only up to a around 60%. I will have a look for some software that will allow me to change things a bit

I will update the driver in the mean time. But all that afterburner allows me to do is to up the fan speed permanently and not at what temperature it starts to increase the fan speed.

Thanks, I am going to get a new CPU cooler for that and hopefully a new PSU......the 450watt one is rather rubbish

Edit: nevermind I have found the options I was looking for
