GTX 950 temps

[Agde42]

Hello. I was wondering what are safe temps for this card? It is a Asus Gtx 950 2GB. My temps while playing Overwatch is 75-78C.
Is this a safe temp or should I start looking into things?

Temps are fine.

Lower is always better, but those temps you should have no concerns. Keep an eye on them, should the temps start to rise into the mid to high 80s or 90s, then you should be concerned.

Graphics cards typically run a lot hotter than CPUs (and are designed for it). Unless you're breaking 90C, I wouldn't worry about it, unless it is a change from past temps. If the card is now running a lot hotter than it used to, its cooler may be clogged with dust. A GTX950 shouldn't be so old that it is experiencing fan failure, but when your system is off see if the fan(s) spin freely. If they don't, bearing failure may be keeping them from spinning fast enough to cool the card.

Thank you both for the answers! @Onus the card is about 1 year old, could a bearing failure occure in this time?
I have cleaned up the whole system usually every 1 or 2 months.
Might just open it up again for a clean up.

I'd think not. Just make sure the fans spin freely.

I have Asus strix gtx 950 2gb non OC model, when I tested its OC capacity ( around 1450mhz core clock and 7600 mhz memory clock ), I could not get temp higher than 71C ( Furmark and Unigine Heaven for 2 hours). When playing games with non OC max temp is around 60C-65C. I dont want to scare you or something, I just want to share info from first hand, I dont know if your gtx 950 is strix edition?

Those temps seem a little high, but not anything that would make me worry. If you hit 85+ you should start looking for issues. That being said cleaning dust out of your GPU and improving air flow in your case is always a good thing.

@undertaker086 it is not the Strix model, but I have overclocked.
Base clock: 1102Mhz -> 1257Mhz
Memory clock: 6610Mhz -> 7010Mhz

I cleaned everything and added one side intake fan and one top exhaust. Slight improvement.
Unigine Heaven has been running for a while and hitting max 72C, more on 70-71C though. Was 76 , 77C before.
Overwatch max temp 73C.
I think ill settle with this for now.
