The temperatures in the rest of the system are decent (though the CPU goes to 70C during a 2-minute BurnInTest stress test, which is acceptable I guess).Īny suggestions of how to lower the GPU idle temperature? (photo of inside of case included) The GPU runs at 56-58C idle (20C ambient room temperature).Īt load (2-minute FurMark stress test), it hits 75C, which is think is acceptable. PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B (fan pointing downward) Rear fan: 120mm, whatever came with my case My GPU is in PCI_E2 (covering PCI_E3 and PCI_E4) and the sound card is in PCI_E6 (because it's small, like the card's slot).Ĭan the sound card be installed in the PCI_E7 slot? (even though the PCI_E7 slot is four times longer than the slot on the sound card)įront fan: 200mm, whatever came with my case I need it for 5.1 DTS/Dolby optical output (cba with driver hacks for my motherboard's on-board). I suppose its close proximity could be restricting the cards ability to draw in air.

* I just noticed that you have some sort of expansion card right under the gfx card. Have you contacted Zotac and asked them if thats normal idle temps? If its only hitting 75c under load, I wouldn't worry about it. If you have plenty of fresh air coming in case and its mostly free of dust, thats about all you can do unless you get into exotic cooling methods. Try something like 25% at idle or something. Are your fans configured properly? Maybe configure your GPU fans to run, even at idle. Cable management isn't going to do squat.
