My Stock Titan X hitting 60C to 85C on Games & Videos

[Avikbellic911]

I got the Titan X 2 weeks ago....well i didnt have much time in hand to test it out but well the thing is after these few days of gaming and stuff i recently noticed my Titan X is goin hot! above 80C

in GTA 5,Witcher 3,Skryrim....all games are running fine but the temp is too high...I live in india thats one thing i should point out, my country's ideal is 35 to 40C.

Now in Nvidia Website the officials say Titan X maximum High temp taken is 95C....well even tho its said that i am scared let alone the warranty.
With that said i am using Nvdia GPU accleration on Videos it seems Titan X is running hotter at 60C in just 2% usage on simple GPU acclerated Videos....This is the first time i am using a titan so this thread might be kinda like a noob.
(I used Nvidia GT240,GTX 560Ti and GT730, these card never ran this hot)

also 2 things to report Nvidia Geforce 353.30 WHQL often freezed my PC at times and also i herd people say same.....so is this driver the culprit??

Side notes: I use Vsync since both my monitors are a 2560x1080 and 1600x900 with 60Hz.

This is one screen shot....it looks 60 but it hits 80 to 85 after few minutes of gameplay

Nvidia cards can run in the mid 80c's for years, my 660Ti's have as did the 560Ti's before them and the 8800GT's before them. Right now I have five Nvidia cards all running in the high 70c's to mid 80c's 24/7 365.

but doesn't heat later after aging a bit affect the performance? well i dont have much knowledge on Wear & Tear of the GPU boards....but I herd the term "Thermal Throttling" effecting performance and 80C under is the safest.
😛 even with the warranty i just dont want the replacement date hassel again.....i want the performance and longevity for now.

Constant heat is not the problem, it's hot/cold cycling that kills components. Nvidia's thermal throttling is designed to keep the heat at a constant not a low.

Ccampy is on the money. Your fans aren't AC units. They're only bringing in outside air to the inside of your case. If the temperature is hot, you're not going to achieve anywhere near as efficient cooling as you would from an air conditioned room.

i am guessing this is one of the truth since my ideal temp in room is 38 to 43....could be one part of the heating ......but i do belive there are some bugs too with the Nvidia driver since video accleration is taking heat toll too....under just 2% usage a GPU cant just heat to 63C+ in 3min....it has to relate to a driver issue.

ok i got the lesson now....so in everytime i use a program i should keep in mind my gpu never crossed 80C yes? i do know iray render gonna suck the life of the card but despite that then i would try to keep a normal static temperature then, under 80C.

Your room sounds very hot, mate. That certainly isn't helping.

With a five year warranty you have nothing to worry about anyway

Welcome to india a land of unforgettable heat even during the rainy season....well i am not gonna pry on anymore since my apartment ain't got the AC hooked.....
Thanks anyways Msi aftervurner solved half the problem i am dealing with tho.

I'm glad to hear that, mate
