My gpu temperature rises when i watch videos

[elmofreak123]

Hi everyone , i have recently build a computer

My graphics card is a sapphire hd 7870 xt 2gb. My problem is that when i watch youtube videos on chrome,internet explorer and firefox or just some movie using windows media player my graphics card temperature will rise from 39 degree celcius to 57 degree celcius. My core clock and memory clock also rises to the fullest...if you could help me solve this problem i would be very appreciative...other than that my temperature remains cool when browsing the internet and doing light work on my computer and i also dun experience any stuttering when browsing or playing games.

When you watch videos the system will use your GPU. Normal behavior.

can i disable it from doing this?

Temps are ok. Check the fan of the graphics card for proper functioning. Don't record temps on one time. Record the readings over longer time span including idle and under stress so that temps can be fully recorded and analyzed.

If you disabled hardware decoding in the options for flash player it should force the decoding onto your CPU. I see no reason for doing this as the GPU is more efficient at decoding than the CPU.

Your GPU starts being put under more pressure whilst watching a video, normal behaviour as posted above.

The temps you posted aren't even particularly high either, nothing to worry about.

I assume the core and memory clock rising is a boost mode, check out catalyst control center and have a look.

My idle temps in the whole 24 hours remains at 40 degrees with 25% fan speed...thanks for the advice ill try to analyze my temperatures with video turned on for a long period of time next time when i have the time.

Thx for the advice man..really really appreciate it!

If you turn up your fan to about 40% you'll notice a drop in temps and it isn't too loud at 40% at all.

Do that in catalyst control center.

If you can manually adjust the fan speed, your temps can be further lowered. EVGA provides this functionality thru their software Precision X. Check your mobo's supplied CD for any supporting software.
