as the title says is 60 degree celsius too hot for xfx r7 260 becuase i started mining litecoins with it before when i was playing a game like bf4 or ac4 its temprature didnt get higher than 45 now with mining it goes to 60 degree so is that too high??
 
Solution


If the GPU is completely air-cooled, 60c is TOTALLY fine. In fact it is rather low.

45 is ridiculously low under load. I almost don't believe it unless it is water cooled, which wouldn't really make sense to water cool a lower end card like that.

well actually its not watercooled and i was like u at the first time i see my temps and its just working with stock cooler
 


Wow, that's unreal man. My 7970 runs at 65c and even that is low for air-cooled GPUs...I can't even imagine running at 45c under load, it would make me blow my load...(See what I did there?)
 
mine is currently 38 C, sometimes around 32 C. Makes me wish I was more familiar with the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion. And all the programs that come with the hardware, CCC, AI Suite II, and the downloaded Overdrive all have it in Celsius and no option to view it in Fahrenheit. I have the Sapphire 260x 2 GB OC variant by the way. And I think the graphics card is the only thing in my system not overclocked currently.
 
I dont worry about heat on newer generation cards untill +80c,then something needs to change.
45c under load is a really low temp,my MSI r7 260x OC idles around 35 and maxes around 65-75c depending on the game.
Did you get the model with heat pipes by chance?
