[SOLVED] How To Know If GPU Sensor is Broken?

[madartzgraphics]

I got this old GTX 560 today from a guy sold for 30. A single fan Galaxy GTX 560 1GB. Runs very hot 100 degrees celsius max temp under heaven benchmark load and 98-100 degrees gaming without any sign of thermal throttling. Watch for some sign of downclocking but GPU clock speed is solid 810mhz and mem at 2004mhz no movement at all. FPS is rock solid 55-60 fps custom high settings Assassin's Creed Black Flag extremely playable experience. Fan speed is set to custom already to max out at 70-75 and it does nothing at all. Sounds like a fighter jet taking off (fan is 2000+ rpm).

All in all, experience was great, what I worry is that the gpu thermal sensor might be broken. Can you confirm or it might be something. The card idle at 66 degrees, Philippine (37 degrees hot) ambient temp.

Indeed.. Yes. 88 is job well done for a nuclear reactor core. I'll retire this bad boy to my collection after finishing Black Flag to remind people Nvidia made a portable sun back in the days.

Thanks for the help and enjoy the week end!

Haha you too, m8. It’s a nice piece of nostalgia.
