GTX 580 Temps

[Gallarian]

My GTX 580 is idling at 50C, is this normal/acceptable, or should I be worried?

No worries. Whats the max load temp ?

@greghome; lmao

@robjordy; around the 80-90 C mark

80 is fine, 90 a bit hot, but still not really worring ; it can handle 100C and more. But it couldn't hurt to try to set the fan speed higher. Is the space and airflow round the gpu ok ?

Card: EVGA GTX 580 SC

Case: Asus Vento ta-95

No idea what I can tell you about air flow, all my setup is just the components in the case. Ive not done anything like adding extra fans etc.

Any tips on improving the air flow?

and @robjordy; how would I go about turning up the fan speeds?

First make sure all your cables are well put away so they don't block the air intake of your GPU or other parts. Make sure all the case in and outlets ( don't now if that's the proper word ) are dustfree, maybe if there is room for it place another casefan.
Maybe there is an other way but you can download a oc program like msi afterburner and you can adjust the fan speed curve there, it will work harder at lower temps so it maybe will stay below 75-80. Still 80-85 under full load is quite normal i believe for a 580, max is 100C. ( but i wouldn't wanne go that high )
