About AMD OverDrive

[nimrod21]

The temperature showing on AMD OverDrive is the real? For example, says that the video card (idle) is 46 ° C. It means missing 46ºC for her to get to a critical state or that it is definitely the 46 ° C?]

If you mean, it shows the right temps. Then yes it does, 46 is pretty normal for idle. Only worry if it get around 80-90 C.

Recently I bought two new coolers for my PC (one placed on the side, throwing cold air inside, and one behind, blowing hot air out). It turns out that the temperature of my computer is the same: 45 ° C and 60 ° C Idle playing only 5 minutes! (I better not play any longer .. will obviously increase further temperature). What should I do?

Update: 67ºC playing 23 minutes of TF2.

Is the fans running at full speed?

 

[nimrod21]

There's a way to see that and change the speed?

 

[Jonas Magnusson]

Yes, somewhere in AMD Overdrive.

gpu temps in amd overdrive are the actual temps of the gpu.
the cpu temps (thermal margin) are what overhead is actually left in your cpu - as long as the cpu thermal margin is 15c or more you are absolutely fine
also 67c is not hot for a graphics card under load ,what gpu & cpu is it??

HD 7790 and FX-6300

70c on a 7790 is fairly normal mate.
What does the thermal CPU margin show for your CPU ?

Is 80ºC playing 5 min of Portal 2. This is normal?

Look ninrod21, it ain't too hot unless the computer gets very very slow and suddenly shutsdown by itself. Otherwise there's no issue at all.

Nimrod are you setting vsync on in games??
If you don't your GPU usage will be maxed out constantly & give temps as high as stress testing.

I always turn off V-Sync in every game ... so my FPS increases. There is something wrong with that?

My computer never slowed down during the games. Never restarted too. This is great news! Thanks!

Nimrod - vsync depends on the game.
Something like portal 2 which is not massively intensive you are probably hitting above 60 fps.
If this is the case then setting vsync on locked to 50 or 60 fps lowers overall GPU usage while still giving you a good gaming experience..this will drop 10-15c off the temps of your graphics card.
Trial & error with different titles will give different results but its worth playing around with IMO.
80c although not dangerous is higher than I would like personally.

Thank you very much, my friend! I turn on V-Sync on Portal 2 and the graphic card still 55ºC In-Game!

There's other suggestions?

55c is good mate
