HIGH Gpu temps ! Very scared

[estemar20]

i got a icooler HIS 7770 which is supposed to be cooler and quieter but when i play a game the ggu temps go to 100 degrees and im very scared. fan speed goes 100 percent. i have an e6600 with a q6600 on the way but im very scared. COuld it be my psu there is no crashes or reboots just high temps. my psu is 375 on a dell xps 410 PLease help and thank you !

You DO need a higher wattage PSU but I dont think that would be causing your temps. Is this the sealed iceQ card that blows out the back of the case? If so your temps should NOT get that high unless you overclocked the card massively.

 

[estemar20]

no overclock just got today everything is stock out of the box

Monitor your GPU load with something like GPUZ and see where it stands. Oh. .and I edited my first reply.. Made some interesting errors that may have thrown you off.

Don't know if this is helpful but i have a sapphire vapor x oc 1gb 7770 and it runs at 60 degrees Celsius on high load, your psu seems to be very low for the card btw, its recommended on amd website to have at least 500W psu, could well be that your psu is under huge strain from the card

 

[estemar20]

with my e6600 core 2 duo gpu loads are from 84-100 but i expect it to change when i get my q6600

If your getting 100°C the card is probably faulty and should be returned. are your ambient temps abnormally high? Unless you live on the equator with no AC....

 

[estemar20]

cpu temps are very good . its only the gpu that is like that and i have no idea

 

[estemar20]

they are around 20-40 cpu temps

 

[unksol]

Id return it to the store asap then. Something has to be wrong.

You're using gpuz for temps right?

 

[estemar20]

yup just checked and its the same

 

[unksol]

Yea. Id send it back as defective. if the store does not cooperate then RMA with manufacturer. it should be nowhere near that temp. Maybe a bad paste application or miss-seated cooler.

if you are considering switching manufactures I've had a great experience with sapphire and they are an AMD board partner. But it's probably just one bad card. Can happen to anyone

 

[DiaSin]

Yeah. Absolutely RMA the card.

if you have the info on the PSU especially the 12V rail we can comment. But if it has the pcie connectors it's probably fine.it might cause crashes if it was too low. But NOT high temps

 

[estemar20]

there was no crashing just the ridiculous temps
