| Video Card Temps
What is a suitable stable temp for full load on a vid card.
Wondering because when my vid card hits full load automaticly it hits 100% fan speed
sounds like a jet plane.
on idle it is at 40c
I can set the fan at 55% but at full load it hits a stable 81c
card is msi gtx 560 ti hawk

Depends on your case's airflow as well... mine sucks and it adversely affects my temperatures.
Right now with my case side open I can manage 30-35c idle and 65c load. It shoots up to about 70-75c when the case side is closed and begins to heat up the other parts of my computer something fierce - running SLI Asus 560Ti DirectCuII.
I'm getting a new case soon with way more airflow, the Fractal Arc Midi.

Ambient = 22*C
CPU Idle = 27*C, CPU Load = 41*C (Phenom 1090T @ 3.6 GHz)
GPU Idle = 38*C, GPU Load = 69*C (Radeon 5850)  | |

Its probably because I haven't touched any settings for the hawk
Gonna leave it at 55% max now and play at 80c
I tested again today and at full load playing bf3 with 100% fan it runs at 59c LOL

I'm running the ASUS GTX 570 DCUii
Idle temps :22c-29c
full load: 55c-61c
I remember reading that GPUs are made to withstand higher temperatures than a CPU normally would. I would agree with SkinnyPupp and just keep it below 90c. Anything above I believe would start burning into the card.

speaking of temps, my xfx 4870 just hit 101 celsius earlier at idle even with a case fan blowing directly at it and 100% on the gpu fan  this was literally like 5 min after startup too.
time for a new card  any opinions on the gigabyte 6870? just looking for an under $200 mid-range card.
