Asus GTX 770 High Temperatures

[powermapler]

Hello,

I've noticed that the temperatures on my ~2 week old Asus GTX 770 are a bit higher than I was expecting, and was wondering if they were normal. When playing demanding games, namely Crysis 2 and Metro Last Light, I can easily see my temperatures reaching 72-75 C on the high side, but I've seen as hot as 79.

These are stock clocks, stock fan speeds. My ambient temperatures are on the high side, normally between 23 C and 27 C, according to my thermometer (although they feel quite a bit hotter than that 😛). Case airflow is quite good.

Are these temperatures acceptable for a stock Asus GTX 770? I've never seen them throttle the card, but I was expecting a bit better cooling than this.

Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my idle temperatures are fine (currently sitting at 31 C, but averaging ~33/34).

Sounds normal.....

Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) = 98C

I OC till I start seeing 83-84....and yes, is a bit warm ambient temps.

You're saying in the seventies, which is just fine for a 770.

Actually I have the same card and I'm seeing almost the same temps. My build is small form factor PC so it can go up even higher than that, with case fans set to medium it can settle around 82-83 C.
I'm OK with that although a little disappointed considering reports on how cool and quiet DC2 cooling system is. With 83 degrees GPU fan ramps up to 80-90% and it's not all that quiet anymore.
