GeForce GTX 280 owners: What are your core temps under load?

[Maverickman]

My GTX 280 gets up to 74 degrees celsius under full load and drops back down under 50 degrees when I exit from a game. Also, I'm running the core at 648MHz. Is this too high. What are your temps?

[Shocky]

105C here under load about 47C idle. :(

[brady]

Whoa! Shocky you might want to cool that thing down a bit.

No kidding, case already has 3x120mm fans, and one blowing directly at the card, fan on the card is clearly working as it sounds like a mini tornado in my case when playing crysis.

I think refund, not sure I want to bother with a replacement.

[Madpistol]

That sounds high Shocky. Has anyone else reported such high temps?

[Dreamingawake]

Yeah got up to around 85 playing Crysis..

Personally I'd like it to be a little cooler.. but my cooling honestly sucks.. for the moment.

Fan is manually set at 70%, side panel off..

[Monolyth]

Core: 602Mhz
Ambient: 23C (No Case ATM)
Idle: 44-46C
Load: 74-78C

Fan: Auto
Fan Idle: 40%
Fan Load: 40%-54%

Waiting to get some more playtime before I start over-clocking.

[Blacklash]

49C idle.

Load depends on the game. It can be as low as 66C and as high as 81C.

[jAkUp]

About 65c if I increase the fanspeed:

i think these cards are really, like majorly affected by ambient temps..

Is it in an oven? Its not a cake you know.

[Dreamingawake]

Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is but my core temps under load slowly creep up
to 90, and then even 100 but i stop whatever app im running before it gets there..

(this is with fan speed to auto, and running at 100%)

case open, fan blowing in.. mind you it is a little warm in my apartment but,
100 ??

should i be considering RMA'ing this puppy ? :thumbdwn:

lol :captnkill:

I blame global warming :o

Overheating cards, dead cards... You call it... :(

[slaWter]

Highest I've seen so far was 85C during Crysis.

[pingu2]

same as shocky..

idle 45c

load 105c (throttles at that)

case is at about 26c

[Lfctony]

I think it's safe to say that cards reaching 115C within seconds have something faulty. No matter how terrible the cooling, a card needs some time to reach 115c. 115c can be explained by a. a faulty sensor or b.bad heatsink contact or c.faulty GPU. I don't think the problem lies with software because the sensor is in the chip itself and the fan controlling/temp monitoring/throttling happens within the chip. All that software does is report the sensor readings. Throttling and all that stuff happens on the hardware level...

[DHP]

My cards are 85C max. Depends on the game. In Grid they are 75C, in Crysis 85.

[turdhat]

My card is running idle at 42 and under load in Crysis it hit 73. Fan is default... I do have two standard case fans in the front pulling in air and it happens that they both blow right over the card. I think this helps...

yes I suspect my sensor is faulty really..

[zer0]

is the VF1000 cooler compatible with the 260 & 280?

[-=DVS=-]

In games anywhere from 60c to 75c , under furry donut stress test up to 95c , i made small modification to the case to create wind tunnel effect and temps dropped by 10c , so yeah they don't like hot air sitting around :p

[Shocky]

Strange today the load temp is only 83C in crysis and i've changed nothing, so any ideas what causing jumps too 105C? I don't see how it's the cooler as you can hear it working, it's damn loud when it hits 105C

It's probably a bug with the sensor. But... can it be fixed? Will all cards suffer from it from time to time? Is it something that can be fixed with a simple bios flash or we'd have to RMA all cards suffering from it? Also, since this happens randomly for some people, it looks like it can pass through QA... I mean if you RMA the card and it shows no problem when say BFG test it... Or they test the new card and it doesn't happen but happens to you when you plug it in at home... The plot thickens! :headexplode:

I'm not sure about that, Crysis when at 105C stuttered quite a bit, I can't imagine it doing that just with a false readings and increased fanspeed.
