Gigabyte 1060 WindForce idle temperature

[89spacemonkey]

Guys, is 31-33C OK for this card while in idle? I've seen people reporting less but with other brands tho. I wonder if my card is that high because of my radiator setup. I had no option but install it that way:

While in game it will reach 73. This is the absolute maximum I've seen so far.

its fine

do you know how much better case air flow thay have over you?? no do you know in there room there AC is set for 60 and your room is 80 ? [room ambient air temps ]

see also don't that card have that -0- fan thing where the fans maynot even come on like in till say 60 c anyway ??

'' The fans spin in opposite directions, which Gigabyte says 'optimises' airflow and reduces air turbulence. They're also capable of semi-passive operation and won't spin at all once the GPU is cool enough.''

I think your good its your full load pounding on it temps to more worry over if looking too high


not the winforce but a 1060 giga

''First up, IDLE (desktop) temperatures as reported through software on the thermal sensors of the GPU. IDLE temperatures first, overall anything below 50 Degrees C is considered okay, anything below 40 Degrees C is nice. ''
