GPU (GT 220 nVidia) 65 degrees when idle, is this PSU enough for the specs?

Hi community,

I have a problem with my GPU: temps between 65-70 degrees when idle, measured with TechPowerUp GPU-Z and Speccy; here are the gpu-z screenshots:
General:

Temperature:

Here in tomshardware we have enough articles about that GPU but I need your help to discard PSU problems ( sorry, a noob here )


I added my components to this PSU calculator: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine
And I got 282W, so I am guessing the PSU is fine.

The PSU has being use for less than 6 months in a low dust environment.
1. Does the PSU seem ok for the components of the PC? (specs at the end of this post)

2. The GPU was used in another computer, 5 years. Should I try removing/adding a new non conductive ThermalPaste?

NOTE: I cleaned some components of the PC with compressed air and CPU temps are cool thanks to the artic silver 5, I cleaned the GPU fan but the problem is still there


Specs:
PSU = 450W

Fan
80mm fans (2 units)
Operating System
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom II X4 955
Deneb 45nm Technology
RAM
Kingston HyperX (4,00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz (9-9-9-25) )
Motherboard
ASRock 970DE3/U3S3
Graphics
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 (XFX Pine Group)
Storage
298GB SAMSUNG HD321KJ ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives
DVD + RW (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C ATA Device)


In advance thank you!

PSU is fine, and has nothing to do with the GPU temps (more or less). What I would do, since the GPU fan seems to not ramp up enough is install software like msi afterburner and create a custom fan profile to make sure your fan speeds up when it needs to.

Thank you ShakedG,
so I won't worry anymore with the PSU and try with your solution 😀

Man, thank you!! 🙂

First I added a new fan close to the GPU, it lowered around 4 degrees.

Second, I downloaded that MSI Afterburn and tested with 100% fan speed, even when very stressed temps didnt go over 64 degrees. Now I defined the fan behaviour with that program.

Oh man and at the start of this pc journey I was having problems with the cpu, thinking about buying new case, new heatsink.

At the end, cleaning + paste + 2 exhaust fan + the management software you provided = a big smile in my dad face when he plays AOE II HD.

Thanks!
