MSI GTX 970 Gaming 100 edition idle temps.

Hi I am wondering if anyone can help me determine if my idle temps for my gpu are alright or safe. My gpu is a MSI gtx 970 100ME and it is idling at around 45 degrees. Are temps good or bad?

45 is fine. If it reaches 60, then maybe u should start cleaning ur PC

Well my pc is new, I barely built it. But when I play games it gets to around 65. But having my gpu at 45 degrees at idle affect my gpu?

Your fans aren't even running until the temperature hits ~64c, that's by design. That also means you're going to get slightly higher idle temperatures, but nothing to be concerned about. All perfectly normal.

45 is completely okay. If your idle temps get between 50-60 then I'd look into cleaning your pc or investing in an intercooler. GPU's and CPU's run at higher temps while idling (which is why they are the components with heat sinks and fans) so it should be fine. Is it overclocked in any way?

Yeah it is in MSI OC mode right now.

Overclocking runs your GPU higher than normal and that leads to more heat. Those temps are normal and I wouldn't worry about it.
