Hellblade running GPU too hot.

[mitchx36]

Im running a FX8370, GTX780ti, 24gb ram ga-970a-ds3 mobo, freezer xtreme cooler, fan at max and GPU temp is over 70, GPU limit should be 61. Anybody got any idea why?

The game is very demanding graphically, especially on older hardware. That card though has a maximum temperature of 95C. Anything up to 80C should be comfortable, I'm not sure why you are trying to limit it unless you have some extreme overclock setup.

You are fine..Listen to the game instead of the fans that are literally there to cool things. Use headphones.

Hardware has fail safes (mostly) to turn off if it is too hot. Like...stop looking at stats and play the effing game.

normally I do not care about temps but after 10 mins it BSOD's on me and tells me critical_process_died but all drivers etc are fine stress test at 100% only gets temp to 30 degrees So pc crashes after 10 mins gaming. Fallout 4 ok, skyrim ok, Hellblade is only game so far that it happens in.

Looking at your rig...yes its a little dated but theoretically should run fine fine .....when is the last time you cleaned inside you rig? is it full of dust and fluff? you can do wonders with an unused paint brush and a can of air. Failing that how is the air flow in your system?

[failsafe]

which stress tests are you running? If you are only seeing 30*c in stress tests then it is reporting your temps wrong.

liquid cooling - I've not used a fan for over 10 years and never seen my cpu get over 40 under any condition except that one time I put a the cpu in without seeing the plastic cover on the cooler head and it got to 99c - let us never speak of that again though.

Don't worry every one who builds PC's makes stupid mistakes from time to time... mine was I built my PC switched it on fans spin up and nothing happened major panic mode then I realised I hadn't plugged the CPU power plug in or a slight accident with the thermal paste luckily it was none conductive or things could have got nasty lol

must be a really good set up then if it never goes above 40*c is it just the CPU or both? was tempted to go for a full loop but to much hard work and if it ♥♥♥♥♥ up and leaks which if I put it together it probably would ... So I went for a 240mm AIO for my CPU with my current build in the end goes to around 60-65*c under Aida 64 stress test and fans can get quite noisy wish I had gone with one of the bigger Noctua coolers instead now would have been just as good at cooling cheaper and more quite.

NZXT Source Elite case.
Corsair Hydro Series H110i 280mm (which sits loosely - slightly too big)
Corsair ML140 140mm Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan x 2

Drastically reducing the ambient heat as the radiators are more external sitting in the front enclosure venting upwards. My 1070 katana (fan cooled) gets around 60 under heavy load, and i agree that the do it yourself is painful - I always get closed loop pre-made systems.

~70C GPU temps under heavy load at air cooling is perfectly fine

[mitchx36]

Using heavy Load to stress test and afterburner for temp, never goes higher than 40 C, put game on and temp just rises to 70 C and has reached 80+C
Ordered Hyper 212 evo cooler and hope it is better at cooling than freezer xtreme

[cannebiere]

Have you tested other graphic-intensive games ? But to be honest GPUs can endure up to sub 90C temps just fine.

On my old GTX 970, I was getting around 72-86C temps under load and it's still alive now, at four years. (I replaced it with a new one though)

[mitchx36]

As I have Skyrim, Fallouts, Bioshocks, Dead space etc, I don't usually need to worry. Hellblade is the first really graphic intensive game I've wanted to play. I played it yesterday and it is now playing and not crashing the pc. Still running upper 70C, lower 80C though.

[mitchx36]

Nope, still crashing. ffs

[(ADORA)ble 🌈👊]

So basically you built an extremely elaborate cooling system while knowing nothing about cooling. Either that or you're just trying to show off your build by implying 70c is somehow bad.

[mitchx36]

The guides all say 61C is the max processor temp and to operate at that. Just don't want to kill it and the game keeps BSOD on me. My 6 core never did.
