1251102 2011-12-29 07:36:00 My 460 GPU is running rather hot at 55 deg but the fan speed runs at only 35%. Is there a way to control the fan speed and brings down the temp? bk T (215)
1251103 2011-12-29 07:45:00 If I were to add another case-fan, should I position the fan to blow in or suck out?

At present, I have 2 fans drawing air out and only one blowing in from the front.

1251104 2011-12-29 08:12:00 IIRC, Riva Tuner will let you control fan speed. Cato (6936)
1251105 2011-12-29 08:50:00 That, and 55 is quite acceptable. It'll automatically bump it up if the temperature was too high but it's happy to keep it lower / quieter :) Chilling_Silence (9)
1251106 2011-12-29 09:27:00 Is adding a case fan to improve air-flow a good idea? bk T (215)
1251107 2011-12-29 09:49:00 Potentially, though not specifically. Is that idle, or under-load temperature? Chilling_Silence (9)
1251108 2011-12-29 20:48:00 under about 50% load temperature. bk T (215)
1251109 2011-12-29 21:03:00 I have 2 case fans blowing air in, one above the cpu fan and the other above the graphics. When idling the cpu sits around 28 degrees and goes as high as 48 degrees at 100% load. The GPU idles around 30 degrees and goes up to 50 degrees when gaming. ronyville (10611)
1251110 2011-12-29 21:11:00 under about 50% load temperature.

That's not CPU load, but game-load which is stressing the GPU, correct? Just wanting to clarify :)

1251111 2011-12-29 21:26:00 It's fine, 460's thermal limit themselves at 99 and anything under 80 during full load is unlikely to be a problem. Download furmark, run it for 5-10 mins or until the graph flattens out and see what the worst case scenario looks like. Mine hit around 75 degrees with good airflow when I had 2 in SLI.

Incidentally unless graphics cards are faulty you can take a fan running at 25-50% speed to mean the manufacturer doesn't consider that to be hot.
