Are these temps safe for a 750 TI ?

[silentbogo]

Hello again , so guys i just changed the thermal paste , did the same stress test ,when the case is closed and it's OC it used to hit 83 Celsius , but now in the same conditions it hits 80 , so that's only 3 degrees decrease , as i expected.......

I need 2 X 120 mm case fans.

Your problem is not case airflow or thermal paste. Your GPU heatsink is at fault. This is the same cooling that ASUS, and some older MSI are using on cheapest of the cheap models, starting with an old GT630. Basically it can only handle around 50W TDP, cause it's a simple aluminium brick about half the size of Intel box heatsink, covered with shroud w/ a big-ass air gap.
If you are running your 750Ti stock with fresh TIM, then 80C is pretty bad. I think last time I've seen 80C on a GTX750Ti was on a low-profile MSI card with a tiny-weeny heatsink and two 40mm fans.
There are two things you could try:
1) check the underside of your heatsink and if the surface is uneven, dented or scratched - lap it with damp 2000-grit sandpaper.
2) Just look around for dead GTX750Ti's or any compatible cards with better heatsinks. I don't remember the exact spacing between mounting holes, but I think it's 43mm or so. Some cards had both 43x43 and 53x53 holes.

I really think it's my issue , when i open my case and let the PC breath , my temps drops form 80 Celsius to something like 75 Celsius +- (can go even lower if the AC is on , same thing for my CPU temps).



& btw this is Asus 1050 TI PH , which i can see that it has the same heatsink on my Asus 750 TI FML.

No you need get the memo, nothing you do will radically change this performance. Its a bloody 750ti, stop wasting your time.

These GPUs are tweaked and designed to run at or close to 80 C.

Yeah i know , my C2D can't push the 750 TI to it's limits while gaming , but i'm getting an I5 3570 as soon as i can , which will do.

Still weird that it's so warm, 750 Ti is so low-power card.. Would be interesting to try one with a waterblock.

Seems like an airflow issue.

They are tweaked to run at that temperature but not to run optimally. You have 1080, you know that.

That being said 83c is a lot and I reckon he is losing a considerable chunk of performance.

We're talking about a 750ti here, not a 1080. This is GPU Boost 2.0 and the most you lose is two or three boost bins, ie 26-39 mhz. If it runs 80 C, its fine.

 

[Keullo-e]

Where you get those 83C temps, on typical gaming or in some synthetic benchmarks?

Valley Benchmark , after changing thermal paste is stays at 80C.

What about gaming? I'd not worry if temps are high in benchmarks (in most cases).

Well , this is the third time i say , my C2D can't push my 750TI to it's limits so i can't determinate , but i'm upgrading soon and i'm gonna keep it.

I know that feeling, having a Phenom II X4 as a temporary solution with GTX 980.

Yeah i just saw your specs and i was like tf ? 4 gigs of RAM and a Phenom 2 X4 , but u r not stupid i know , i saw your reply somewhere when u said that u got ur 980 and a 780TI for free.

780, not 780 Ti but yeah. Getting a Ryzen upgrade next month, using these just because my X99 motherboard broke..

 

[27MaD]

I'm buying a new mobo and a 3570 and 8 gigs of RAM soon , i'll probably sell my 750 TI and buy a 950.

I had cards that the cards fan just got bad . like just don't spin up like they did when new . for me I have had to replace a ferw powerlogic fans on cards there smart and there electronics / pcb's in the fan motor housing must get buggy and cause the fan not to work right ..

from this pic you can see the pcb stuff in there fans . cheap china fans with cheap china electronics

could be as simple as a new fan that works correctly with the cards temps and gets you back to a cooler as you expect temps overall ?

 

[John Naylor]

Keep in mind that OP doesn't have so sturdy cooler as this Asus 750 Ti has.

According to his system specs, he has the Asus GTX 750 TI OC 2GB

I don't live in the desert , i live in the middle of the most crowded city in Saudi Arabia , ACs everywhere , it's 26 Celsius outside , but i'll just change the thermal paste & see what happens.

Well that's why that was step 1, rule that out before moving to Step 2....which I see in your nest post is what you are doing ... ideally, you want 1.5 intakes for every exhaust.

Idk my fan spins very fast , always , never felt it's failing , i can feel the air the fan is blowing.

I went down that route a few years back - not really worth it unless you don't lose any money in the process.
GTX960 or even R9 270X is probably a better upgrade. Both are more power-hungry and hot, but the price is more than budget-friendly.

 

[27MaD]

Now guys i want to install 2X120 mm fans but i have 2 questions:

Question 1: my mobo has only 2 fan connectors , 4 pin for the CPU , 3 pin for the case fan , should i use an adapter?

2nd question : i don't know what does intake fan means , is it the fan that is taking the hot air out of the case? , or is it the fan that blows the air to the case ?
I want to make the front fan blow the air to the case and the rear one to take the air out , am i thinking right or not ?

Well , in my country used GPU prices are just ridicules , i see people asking for up to 100 $ for thier 750TIs , and i see 950s for something like 80-95$ on AliExpress , so it's not going to be a big lose (i might not even lose a dollar)

Intake = IN = air IN the case
Outtake = OUT = air OUT of the case

And yes you're thinking right, front = in, rear = out
And yes if there is one fan header, use an adapter. Be aware that if you put too many fans on one header they might not get enough voltage.

As for the GPU, its not really an upgrade, 750ti is effectively also the same gen (Maxwell). Better off saving the trouble and saving the money to go to GTX 970 or similar. Its a good match as well for an i5 3570(K?).

Thank u 4 the simple answer , another simple question , a 4 pin fan will work in a 3 pin header , and a 3 pin fan will work in a 4 pin header , right?

Yes but we already saw his card vs the better Asus 750 Ti version. OP has the worse version.

 

[coonbro]

I guess being in Saudi Arabia.

you got you A/C on max to keep the ambient room temp down so the card got cool air to cool with ? it can only cool to the air in the room to use to cool it with no matter how many fans you run
