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

Maverickman · 06-19-08, 05:08 PM

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 · 06-19-08, 05:16 PM

105C here under load about 47C idle.

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.

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

Dreamingawake · 06-19-08, 05:57 PM

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..

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.

49C idle.

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

jAkUp · 06-19-08, 07:27 PM

About 65c if I increase the fanspeed:

Dreamingawake · 06-19-08, 07:56 PM

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

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

Dreamingawake · 06-19-08, 10:00 PM

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 ?
