Gigabyte GTX 950 temperature and power consumption

[canyoufixit]

Hello! I tried running games and monitoring my GPU at the same time using OC guru. I've noticed that power consumption is at 80-90% and temperature is at 74-ish degrees. I guess my questions are:

1.) What does power consumption in OC guru means? Is it using 80-90% of my 520W?

2.) Will my PSU be enough for the whole build?

3.) What gpu temperature is needed to be considered an "overheat"?

Thanks in advanced guys. Happy new year!😀

1) no. It referes to graphic card power consumption.

2) yes.

3) overheat. Hmm in gpu terms the temperature exceed max temp allowed by gpu manufacturer on the said chip. For 950 the max temp is 95c per nvidia spec:

So start worry when temp reaching 90c.

Thanks for the reply. I can sleep well now. That 80-90% power consumption really bothered me a lot. 😀
