ASUS HD7970 Temperatures

[saiyaman]

Hey guys,

I have a ASUS HD7970 3GD-5 card. It idles around 40(with air conditioner on) to 55c. The problem is before summer started (might sound sort of funny), my load temperatures for the card were around 77 to 80C. Now in the heat of summer I get upto 88 or even 89 and 90C. Especially Farcry 3 which drives it toward 89 or so.

Any suggestions as to how I can improve my temperatures for the card? By the way I always turn off AA and AF for every game. I'm using the stock cooler and the card looks like the reference HD7970.

WOW!! Those are really high temps. Post a few pics of your cabinet and the temps. You better add a few fans to the cabinet or the card may get spolied.

90C load temp though is high but not alrming but the load temp shoul remain under 80c - that's generally the loa temp of most stock HD7970 cards.

Mention your whole pc config or better a few pics of the cabinet with side panel closed and in open position.

I won't worry too much. My HD 6950 also goes to 90 degrees in summer. Consistently over 90? Then cleaning is required.

@ico: Oh that's nothing to worry about? I was worried a little since 85 and above seems....dangerous. I recently cleaned it about 3 to 4 days ago.

Reference card yes. What is the standard load temperature for reference? The cables don't come around the card but do you mean anywhere near the card is not good?

The cabinet? I misunderstood it to be "cable" lol. Ah well I realize that I have not changed it for about 4 to 5 years. Which is good?

Wow both of those cabinets look great. The phantom looks good too is that available in India? Corsair I checked on FK it's sold out. Probably need to try somewhere else.

Update: I have gone through my cabinet and somehow managed a temporary solution till I get a new cabinet.

Is this okay now?

Give some breathing space for the computer organs along with new skin. They might suffocate and die before you know.
