I got gtx970 SC and i dont want it overclocked because the temp is so high...

[Yujia_lei]

Hello everyone！
My pc is dell xps8700 and specs: i5 4460, gtx970 4gb, 12gb ram, dell 0kwvt8 mobo, and 650w psu. I replaced gpu and psu today for higher performance on gtav game, but the temperature of cpu was around 60*C and gpu was around 75*C....I checked my gtx970's box, and it says SC AXC2.0. Therefore I think the reason my cpu and gpu got such a high temps was because the graphic card was overclocked. So my question is that how do i let this card stop overclocking when i playing games? Is there any software that I can control my gpu on my screen?
Thank you all!!!!

Those are fine temps, over 80C and then I would start looking into increasing fan speeds on the 970. What case do you have? Does your case have good airflow?

hello! Thank you for your comment!
I have dell xps8700 which I think is a mid size case. I did some research just now, and I saw a guy said that 970 is too big to a mid size case so the airflow is not good. I am thinking about to buy a new full size tower..
Btw how do I increasing fan speed on the 970?
Thank you very much

Well the temperatures are actually fine. 75C is a fine, perfectly operatable temperature for a graphics card, though the 970s usually do run a bit cooler. To increase the fan speed on the 970, you can do it with the EVGA PrecisionX software.

But why the cpu has such a high temp like 65C?....is my cpu (i5 4460) too bad to the whole specs?

Because it's being worked hard. 65C is warm, but it's not a cause for concern by any means.

My I5-4460 with the stock cooler never really goes past 50C on load. That case of yours probably does not have the best airflow for the upgraded components you have in it.

75C is nothing. My reference GPU hits 84C during load and my custom GPU's hit 78-79C (I think) during load. If you're really concerned then simply modify your fan curve.

thats actually not high for full load, you might need to clean the cooler fan though

if you start going over 80 then it would be time to clean out the thermal compound and re-seat with an aftermarket cpu cooler
