Nvidia 560GTX DirectCU I

[(SWGO)Minas_Thirith]

I was wondering, since some others have this card, what are your idle and load temperatures in Celcius?

In 22 Celsius Room Temperature, the Card idles at 30 Celsius (basic internet, video streaming etc)

It rarely got over 50 Celsius while gaming, that could be due to the fan controller I have. I always crank all my fans to higher speeds when gaming to keep everything cool.

60 Celsius is still acceptable though, I just prefer everything to be a bit cooler.

Hope this helped

Right, it's a bit hotter here, playing GW2 i'm hitting a max of 66C while my fan is going at max speed.....
However mine is the DCU I so it's not closed, it's a single vent....

The temperatures are decent.
I'm sure you have a case with several fans and good air flow, no?
If possible, I recommend adding an extra fan to the case if you still have space.

I have two case fans blowing out (one at the top and one from the back).
A PSU that blows air out at the back as well.
A high performance fan at the front of the case to suck air in (can go up to 2100 RPM).

The air flow is decent and it keeps my system temperatures fairly low.

What about dust?

My Air-flow should be allright
Iv'e got 5 PC-case ventilators going, and an overkill CPU cooler with 3 vents on it.
I only wish my GPU had a closed case like my old 8800GTS, i could turn up the vent and easely lose 20Degrees celcius.....

Edit: I wonder, does anybody know any good sites to buy GPU coolers? i'm thinking of buying a 560GTX closed cooling fan.....

Unfortunately, I do not know of European websites for such things. :(

If only we had something like Newegg here.
