EVGA 1050 TI ACX SSC 4GB - No heat under load?

[darted450]

I have been using Passmark to stress test my GPU, but it never seems to go above the mid 50's range (C) . I've seen other 1050 ti's go into the 80's while being stress tested but mine doesn't heat. Am I not testing the card right? Could the temperature sensor be defective?

"other" 1050TI's vary in cooling ability, number of fans and, most importantly; case layout/airflow.

You have a sizeable 1050TI and, when compared with a smaller ITX variant (single fan design), I'd expect your card to be a decent margin lower.

What does your case layout/airflow look like?

How long are you running for? Are you ensuring you're hitting 100% (99% more typically) utilization on the GPU?

I'd favor something like Furmark as a GPU stress test. All in one tools like Passmark are fine, but when you need to test a specific component I'd rather use a tool that's created for that specific task.

I have a pretty basic Rosewill case. 6 case fans, so the air flow is pretty strong. I can the test for 30 minutes at first hoping to see some temperature increases, CPU runs around 25 C, I will try another test such as Furmark like mentioned as I'm trying to tweak my case fans for the best air flow, not easy when you can't monitor temp changes! haha

Thanks for the help guys!
