gpu overheating with good airflow

[ramemes]

i have a Cit Neptune gaming case. i have 2 fans on the front taking in air. one exhaust at the back and a small 80mm fan on the side panel by the transparent acrlyic which is pulling air in. i have two intake fans in front 1 in back and another intake on side panel however after burner says 67C I KNOW I KNOW 67C is amazing temperature but its reading wrong 🙁 it isnt 67 its like 90. wekk the right side of the same gpu is like 50 celcius and the left hand side feels like boiling water when i play. and i have to overclock i need toso can someone tell me an issue. i cleaned gpu fans. replace gpu thermal paste.

PLS I NEED HELP

How do you know its reading wrong?

If the card was hitting 90 it would be throttling like crazy

What gpu do you have?
If its an amd card try to get the chrimson drivers to 15.11, its the best edition out now because in other versions there is a bug that your fans arent spinning higher than 30%

well the thing is at the idle times with only windows desktop running and it gives be a temp of 27 celcius i feel my gpu. dont know if im meant to xD but i feel it and it is 27 but when i move hand to the left it feels like 40 celcius or hotter than room . since the temperature is uneven (hotspot) the readings are certainly wrong . i hope they are right. but at 40 celcius the left hand side feels like 60

 

[ramemes]

like at 45 celcius i wouldnt feel comfortable putting my hand on too long

i have GTX 960 4GB

it has two fans its blue and black fan case. no back plate

Try getting it looked at a pc store for cheap (;

guys once in my life time it did throttle yesterday it throttled like crazy when it sid i hade 67 degrees celcius on msi after burner. yes i was overclocking but problem is i thing the temperature reader is literally inside the cooler half of the gpu

I think you need to trust the temperature sensors.

If the card isn't throttling in games, there is no way its running at 90 degrees C.

Your hand is not as good at measuring specific temperatures than a built in sensor at the core.

throttling is lagging and shit? yesterday i starter crazy going 0 fps to 25 yet it only said 67C pls prove me wrong in a way that i can be certain msi afterburner is correct. i ahve heard other people with wrong temp readings but theirs would show higher than normal readings. i think mine might be lower than normal. is there any explenation if i am right i hope that it is all good and i really wish it is under 80 celcius

How much have you overclocked it?

Did you turn up the fans?

Yes framerate drops is throttling.

core clock and memory clock both 180+ but temps said max of 67 celcius whilst overclocked and playing farcry 4. i am worried that it could have been higher

You overclocked 180mhz? Thats a pretty big jump. What method did you use to get there? What specific brand and model of card do you have? And did you adjust the fan curves to compensate for the extra heat?

The card starts to throttle at 80C so if it is throttling then maybe you are correct about the temp reading wrong. It could be because the overclock is too high.

i have a gigabyte windforce

i have a gigabyte windforce

Ok and what MHZ is it set at right now?

 

[ramemes]

+166 mhz base clock and memory clock

 

[ramemes]

funny story i was researching graphics card and accidently pasted the name of it inside my biology homework.

 

[Rogue Leader]

+166 mhz base clock and memory clock

Thats a really big overclock. How did you get there? Did you step it up slowly and run tests?

If you did not I suggest you back it off completely.

 

[ramemes]

thanks alot for helping by the way and yh is 166 fine

If the GPU is throttling it is not fine.

As I asked, how did you get to it? Did you run tests to get to that point as it is a very big jump? Did it ever not throttle?

 

[ramemes]

never throttled ever if if dosent throttle is it safe. like is that all there is to it no throttle it is safe. can it still be a damaging temperature without throttling if id dosent throttle shall i ignore it

 

[ramemes]

yes i sot of made a jump as it never throttled

 

[ramemes]

i did actually test it at over 200 it would crash after 30 min of playing
