GTX 770 Are These Safe Tempreatures

[Emeric Francis]

I have a KFA2 GTX 770 from what i know a very similar company to Galaxy.

The Temps when putting the card under high loads use to reach 79c which is where my temperature limit is set. Therefore, Starting to under clock and under volt my card, i don't wont this happening so i installed GPU tweak and changed the fan curve here is what i did.

I don't find the noise terrible excessive and now the temps under load stay at around the low 70s,
i am just wondering whether i might be wearing the fans out really quickly on the GPU and also wondering weather these new temps are still safe operating temperatures.

little more info you might need airflow is as followed 2 intakes at the front of the case and one exhaust fan at the rear. I currently have no overclocks on my system at the moment the CPU is a core i7 4790. I get no screen artifacts, crashing or unreliability when operating on either of the temps befor or after i adjusted the fan curve. Just purely worried about the life of my components and also not having my graphics card under clocking or volting. Would be grateful for any help or suggestions.

Under 80C is fine for these gpu. In reality they can handle much higher heat but the BIOS inside will have safety measure before it melt the components.

Yeah that's pretty normal for an air cooled card. Do you have adequate fans for cool air?

Yeah i think so. the case it self has 2 intake fans and the card i think exhaust out the back so to the outside of the case rather than the inside.

Yeah that's usual too. If you could put an intake at the bottom that would be choice, but I wouldn't worry about it if you have to get a new case for that
