gtx 750ti temperature

[sal_rc]

I have gigabyte gtx 750ti and I'm using it with a 300watt PSU.
During games like GTA V the temperature reaches to 75 C.Ambient temperature is around 30C.
I also think that card is underperforming as I'm getting only 30 fps with shuttering sometimes.
My CPU is Amd phenom II x4 955 but I have ddr2 RAM.
Can it be cuz of RAM?

First of all a 300W is not recommended for the GTX 750 Ti.
You can try re applying the thermal paste on the GTX 750 Ti.
Use Windows Memory Diagnosis to test your RAM.

What can be the effects of a under powered PSU?
The card is only 2 weeks old so I don't think it's a thermal paste problem.
I want to know if ddr2 would affect performance over ddr3

1. Even the highest quality GPU's sometimes having poor thermal paste, this may occur if the thermal paste was not applied properly.
2. On high loads you may experience PC shut downs.
3. If the motherboard supports DDR2 memory you are fine. If it supports DDR3 memory it is highly recommended to use DDR3.

@kkaw yeah I'm trying to choose between a PSU and RAM rn so yeah
Last time I tried to change the thermal paste of my ati radeon I think I messed up either on tightening or on amount of paste and AFAIK changing thermal paste voids warranty, right?
And no if my mobo supported ddr3 I would have gone for ddr3 ram as it is cheaper and consumes less power

I believe Gigabyte will void your warranty if you did reapply thermal paste.

You can send it back to Gigabyte however for RMA.

If your motherboard does not support DDR3 don't get DDR3 RAM.

I'll see it for few more days before sending it back and maybe it's hot BC it's a single fan model

GTX 750 Ti is a very cool and efficient card, 1 fan is suffice that is most definitely not the issue.

I'd suspect it's far more likely that you don't have sufficient case cooling. If you're running a gaming card in a cabinet with only a single fan, it's unlikely you're getting enough airflow through the case. I'd take a good hard look at my case airflow cooling before looking elsewhere. Also, make sure your PSU is oriented the correct way.

@darkbreeze well I tried with my side cover opened but still not much drop in temperature but yeah my Case is quite old and small
And I have new problem,when im using msi afterburners osd the memory clock is going up to only 2700mhz while its peak clock is 5400 MHz

 

[Darkbreeze]

Then in that case, it sounds like an issue with the card itself if it's doing that with the side panel off as well.

 

[sal_rc]

@darkbreeze what should be the load temperature of the card

 

[Darkbreeze]

You're generally safe at anything below 85-90°C GPU temp. I'd also run Afterburner or another utility and make sure the fan profile is configured adequately. Your temps are not high for full load though.

 

[sal_rc]

@darkbreeze well in afterburner THe temperature limit is 80 so I was worried that in long run 75 would be high

 

[Darkbreeze]

You would LIKE for it to stay below 80, and if it doesn't I'd start worrying, and lower would be better. Adjust your fan profile and increase your case cooling by getting a newer case or more fans, or both actually, and you'll be fine.
