i just installed my new gpu today, gtx 560 ti. and i never felt i had to pay much attention to heat until now. im not sure if its just because today was a really hot day 85-95F, or what. but i got a program (speed fan), and the heat of my comp just only having the internet open is GPU: 43C, Temp 1: 45C, Temp 2: 41C, Temp 3: -128C, HD0: 37C, Core: 30C.
besides the GPU im not totally sure what all the other heats are from (the parts). around 40-48C the heats have a green check mark im guessing as OK heat to be at. but once i get on something like wow with full ultra on the GPU jumps up to around 52-55C and it has a little fire symbol next to it instead of the green arrow, thats the part that worries me. im not sure if its like oh its just hot, or omg its really hot shut your comp down. and it was that hot from me just sitting in org. im worried about how hot it might get come next night i raid (25 man).
the graphics card i have now is a lot better than my old one, im not sure if its just better and runs harder that makes it so hot or what. idk really, clueless when it comes to fans/heat sinks and temps for comps. and no im not having any lag or things not running right because of the heat maybe.
any helps appreciated, thanks
