GPU Temperature under Nouveau

How feasible is it to get a GPU temperature reading when using the Nouveau driver? I have an Nvidia 8800M GTX card, and cannot find a method that doesn't seem to require the proprietary Nvidia binaries. Does anyone know what might be involved? Currently the only way I know that Nouveau is keeping cycles low is because my hard drive is right next to it - and I can get a temperature reading from that.

Depends what lm_sensors says. Have you got it installed?

W700: max GPU temperature for Quadro FX3700M?

I've recently noticed a freeze / stall problem in Direct 3D applications (mostly games) with the Nvidia Quadro FX3700M GPU of my W700 (2757) under Win XP x64 and Win 7 Pro x64. The system was running rock solid for more then 3 years, and after a lot of testing with fresh Windows installations and different Nvidia driver versions, I decided to take a closer look at GPU temperatures.
Turned out that in idle mode GPU temps are already 65 °C and climb over 96°C under full load in the GPU testing tool from MSI (MSI Kombustor). Furmark brings it even over 100 °C (I stopped it after a few seconds).
Are these temperatures normal for the FX3700M? I hear the GPU fan kicking in, but it may be necessary to apply fresh thermal compound for optimal cooling.
I'd appreciate any advice.

I downloaded TPFanControl and it is working well on my W700ds so far. It shows all the temperatures and allows you to control the fan speed at different temperatures.
Before I blew the air through, I downloaded the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool from Intel. It tests the processor and loads it up pretty hard. It gives a differential temperature from the maximum recommended temperature. At the start of the test my processor indicated 42 degrees below max and at the end 21 degrees below max. Not sure what max temp is but when I first turned on the TPFancontrol it indicated my gpu was running between 78C and 81C degrees. Since blowing air back through the fans, the highest gpu temp I saw, with the TPFancontrol running in as received setup, was about 60C. I played with the .ini file for the TPFancontrol and have mine running at a fan level 4 at 57C. that would be without heavy use.

T420 CPU/GPU Temperatures seem excessive...

I was running Prime95 to check my CPU (Core i5-2520M) temperature (using Real Temp) and I noticed it was a bit high, about 95 degrees celsius. I followed up by running FurMark to check how the NVS 4200 GPU was doing. It ended up sustaining at 87 degrees celsius. I did not run the two tests concurrently.
I decided to strip the heatsink off and apply new thermal compound. After the new compound was applied, the CPU temperature under Prime 95 peaked at 84 degrees celsius. Under Furmark, the GPU sustained at 75 degrees celsius. A very significant drop.
I decided to run the two tests concurrently (after new compound had been applied) and ended up with a CPU temperature of 100 degrees celsius and a GPU temperature of 97 degrees celsius. Pretty horrifying stuff. I can't imagine those values being within operating range.
These torture tests are rather extreme so I followed up with some gaming. I played DOTA 2 for about 3 hours and during that period my CPU peaked at 98 degrees celsius with an average temperature of 93 degrees celsius. I did not log the GPU temperature during this session.
I should mention that Turbo Boost is enabled and the fan was set at maximum speed.
Does anybody have any temperature figures for similair configurations? Specifically in situations where the GPU and CPU are both under high load. I'm curious to know if my temperatures are abnormal.

I started to think that it's not an issue with my sample. I went ahead and confirmed these temperatures on two other identically specced T420s (4178). Under extreme conditions the heatsink/fan unit cannot dissipate heat quickly enough causing both chips (CPU and GPU) to reach dangerous temperatures. If you haven't torture tested the GPU and CPU in your T420 concurrently, you might want to give it a shot. It gets alarmingly hot.

GTX 760. Too high temperatures under load?

Hello,
I have just bought a new machine with a MSI GTX 760 Gaming card inside. I am not really sure if temperatures I'm seeing are OK.
The card idles at 32-33 degrees Celsius. This should be just fine I think. However, once I run some benchmarks or get into a game, the temperature rise to round 80~81 degrees and in most cases stabilise at that mark. Is this normal?
Most of the reviews I've read of the card so far show far lower temperatures under load so I started to be a little worried.
The above temperatures show under default MSI Afterburner fan profile. I haven't touched the card OC-wise, these temperatures being the main reason.
If I manualy set the fan to constant 70% I do get a significant drop in temperatures. Under load the card now reaches 69~70 degrees.
I know there are many factors involved here, so I provide some more info about the machine itself:
Seasonic SS-520GB PSU
Intel 3570K with Corsair H55 cooling
GA-Z77N-WiFi motherboard
Kingston HyperX, DDR3 2x4GB 1600MHz RAM
Bitfenix Prodigy case
1x120mm fan at front, intake
H55 rad + 120mm fan intake, also at front
1x120mm fan at rear, exhaust.
Any advice would be highly appreciated!

No need to worry. the Maximum GPU Temperature of GTX760 is 97°C (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications) so your card is far from that mark. It is in a fine rage.
Temps strongly depend on the individual systems so you can't expect to get the temps any reviews listed. Individual temps might be lower or higher depending on the airflow in the case, other heating components, the fan profile of the current vbios, the applying of the thermal paste by the factory and so on.
As your case intakes hot air through the H55 that might be a reason for slightly higher temps. Also you have two times more intake than exhaust of hot air what can also increase temps. Furthermore you have a very small case so heat tends to stay where it was generated which causes components to heat up even more. In this situation your gpu temp is brilliant. Just game and be glad.

GPU temperature 98 deg C

My new MSI N580GTX Twin Frozer II (O/C edition) is hitting GPU temperatures of 98 deg C. Is this too hot for a GPU?
Seems a bit high to me. Also, the fan speed is always at 100 % when playing a 3D game. I have not messed with any overclocking and running the card at factory settings. Its annoying because the card is supposed to be 19 deg cooler than the reference design. Even in Windows the card is 50 deg C.
I'm also wondering if the way the card vents heat into the PC case is a bad idea, because other parts such as the CPU and PSU is going to have a hard time keeping cool as well. Other cards vent heat out of the PC case.

Quote
The hint is that releasing heat back into the case, rather than venting out is a design flaw. I had to use a solution to let cold winter air into the room, so the card is not recycling the warm air in the case.
A GPU card by design, is normally positioned horizontally once inside the case. How do you expect two fans on the card to vent to the outside ? By means of a sealed fan unit with an exhaust pipe of some sort, to the back ? How much thicker do you want the total card to be to achieve that ? Its not a design flaw, its rather a restriction in GPU design because of component standards and maximum dimensions. If your case is unable to expel the warm air, then its inevitable that the warm air is recycled again and again, and the temp will keep on rising.
Quote
also the mobo is a BTX and its hard to get a case for it.
Most mid tower cases have got the mounting holes for ATX, mini ATX, ITX and BTX these days.
Your case intake and outflow volume should at least surpass the volume of air moved by the 2 GPU fans.
Quote
Thanks for the info but the manufacturers doesn't say anything about which PC case the 580 was designed for, or that it was meant for home builders with special cases.
No it doesn't, nor does any GPU card say that. The manufacturers expect some user discretion with regards to that. They also don't say that you shouldn't put it inside an oven. It's logical that the airflow inside the case should be commensurate with the GPU's typical power draw, in the case of the 580, that could be around 250W under load. Ever touched a 100W incandescent globe ? Power consumption is directly related to heat. Thus logic will dictate a sensible volume of cool air to keep things in check.
It's your set-up and you need to make the decision. We can only advise. Ultimately you will do what you will do, and it seems, that includes using every argument in the book not to consider the advice that you came for in the first place.

High CPU & GPU temperature with ATI 4870 Graphics card

Hi I have replaced the original FX1700 card with an ATI 4870 on my S10 and I found the GPU temperature constantly floating at around 58C with no program running and the temperature of the CPU have also gone up to 47C with no programing running and 58C with program running(The temperature of the CPU was fine at under 40C before ATI 4870 was installed). Is this situation normal?
P.S. I have not replaced the orginal fan came with my S10.
Thanks very much for your helps

Hi Erik you are truely intelligent I have tried the method as you suggested and now the temperature of CPU and GPU came down to 45C and 56C at idle respectively. That is really a dramatc improvement thanks very much!!!

Lenovo N200 3000 gpu temperature

Hi there.
I have notice that my gpu temperature is over 65 C (149 F).
I have cleaned gpu fan and dust over the fan. Is this temperature normale for this time of year or I should visit the service.
Thank you for any answer.

Does the laptop bottom feel HOT?
My thoughts:
Everest may be reporting wrong temp?
GPU heatsink may need new thermal interface compound?
Use a cooling pad.
If you do not experience lockups and bluescreens, it may be fine.

MSI 560Ti HAWK GPU Temperatures Diablo 3

Hello,
I have a 560Ti HAWK GPU running stable at MSI factory settings with -75 core voltage from MSI Afterburner. I am running Win 7x64 with all updates to date. The video driver installed is the WHQL 310.70 from geforce.com. I have a quad core [email protected] GHZ and 4GB DDR2@800MHZ. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus II Formula. The BIOS of the GPU is 70.24.21.00.00 (P1040-0050). I recently flashed the bios with one sent to me by an admin on the site because it had the high memory issue. Flashing the BIOS only affected the memory temperature issue, the GPU temperature remained the same as before flashing.
The GPU gets very hot while playing Diablo 3. Monitoring the temperatures with GPUZ and MSI Afterburner it shows about 89 Celsius with a max of 92. The case is very well ventilated and in other games it does not get over 75. I run Diablo at 1680x1050 with everything on high, AA on, Vsync on, Max Foreground FPS 60.
To test the temperature and the sensors i ran MSI Kombustor for 45 minutes, with OpenGL 3, PostFX on, 8xMSAA, 1680x1050 fullscreen, and the max temperature was 85 Celsius. The heat coming out of the card felt pretty much the same from when playing Diablo so I can conclude that the sensors are working as they should.
I tried performing a clean install of the drivers and also uninstalling the game. Also I changed the TIM on the GPU about a week ago, it now has Coolink Chilaramic, but the temperature in Diablo didn't improve. Even after changing the TIM the temperature remained the same for other games.
What else can I do to lower the temps in Diablo 3, is the game more GPU intensive than MSI Kombustor?
Thanks

Yes its possible
what PC case you use? do you have enough space inside and proper airflow?
have you tried tried MSI VGA drivers for the card?
I have an Antec P182 with 2x120mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust fan with decent cable arrangement. I tried the latest MSI drivers for my GPU, 306.97 but the temps are the same in Diablo.

GPU Temperature

I have a Mac Mini from 2012 that have a high GPU Temperature, I'm using a monitoring program (Temperature Gauge) that is warning about high GPU temperature (95-97C).
The Mac mini is placed upon a tv furniture so it has a lot of air aroound it, I've used compressed air to remove dust but still gett the high GPU temperature. Is this a comon problem and what can I do about it?

While it may not be recommended by some here, I use > Lobotomo Software: MoofMenu (aka Fan Control) on my 2010 Mac Mini to keep it from cooking.
Right now I'm just surfing, listing to iTunes and it's cool in the office, so the fan is only running at default speed.
But notice what happens when I play a game or watch video. As the temp increases so does the fan speed and so it never goes much above 70 C no matter what I do.
I use smcFanControl on my iMac's and Fan Control on my Mac Mini's and have never had a fan or graphic's failure. Personally the only draw back is that one needs to clean the air intake(s) more often, but that a small price compared to having melted Mac.

How to monitor GPU temperature?

Hi dears.
Recently I changed my HD3870's fan with the Arctic Cooler Accelero S1 Rev.2 silent cooler. This is much more silent than the stock fan installed on the Video card.
So the question is: how do I monitor GPU temperature to check if all is ok? In the event of too much hot GPU can I cause problems to all the system or only to GPU?
Thank's a lot.
Regards.

I use this app to monitor my iMac's overall temperature: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23049/smcfancontrol
If the computer appears over 120ºF/130ºF, you can use the slide bars to increase the fan speed. Mac computers can still pretty easily run at around 210ºF, but the cooler you keep it, the better. Personally, I keep my iMac at roughly 100º.

About GPU temperature

I checked my gpu temperature is around 58 C as soon as i logged on widows.
Is that noraml ?

no.. i bought X3100 equipped T61, i had a T61 with Nvidia before but i swapped with a friend for a intel integrated X3100 T61.
Display quality is the same, but the graphic performance when it comes to complex CAD and games are different obviously.
The T61 1440x900 14.1 inch widescreen, T61 with 14.1 inch SXGA+ standard screen, and a T61 15.4 inch with WSXGA (my friend swapped the OEM WXGA for a WSXGA, before swapping with mine Nvidia equipped T61) <-- these are the one that i currently own....

Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

My desktop computer m9200T running Win7 Home Premium crashes often. It seems to be temperature related.
I had tried SpeedFan, but my computer crashed everytime I ran it. SpeedFan window scrolled 20 some lines of text than the computer crashed. Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

Hi,
Only have one temperature monitoring application running or you could end up with erroneous readings.
Try PC Wizzard. Depending on your hardware, you should see temperatures for CPU, GPU and disk. At the same site you can also try HW Monitor.
I am running a custom motherboard and it comes with its own software for this purpose. HW Monitor seems fairly complete.

ThinkPad T61p idle GPU temperature

I have a very minimal Arch installation with Xfce and only a few daemons. Cpu usage is usally around 5-10%.
The thing is the GPU temperature idles around 60 degrees at WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution. It's an nVidia Quadro FX570M with nvidia driver installed and powermizer working. Is this normal? Is there any way I can decrease it?

That's odd. How about CPU temp? Mine is currently 39 (opera + mpd only), with intensive, but normal usage it never exceeds 50 (however I'm not talking about gaming or compiling, sure it gets hot then).
That's my current sensors output. I'm sitting in quite cold room right now, maybe that's what making few degrees of difference.

Lenovo G550 GPU temperature sensor

Hi everyone,
I have lenovo G550 laptop and there is a problem with GPU (NVIDIA GeForce G210M) temperature sensor. So, when i turn on laptop the sensor is showing 'bout 70°C and when i run some programs like Chrome, paint etc. the temperature jumps over 95 °C. But the problem is that laptop is COLD , temperature is OK. The air from fan is COLD, not warm.
I have opened it and cleaned it from dust, it's clean like in pharmacy store. When temperature reach 100°C the laptop turns off automatically but it is still cold :/.
. I updated BIOS and it's even worse :/ sensor on start show 90°C and then raising :/. I also tried serval diferent versions of NVIDIA drivers.
So, maybe it's hardware problem with sensor, and i'm wondering is there anyway to deal with it? Or how can i set the the max value of temperature where laptop shut down automaticallly (there is no such option in BIOS) ?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I solved it,
the problem was in thermal paste and some protective nylon over GPU. The nylon was detached on some parts and I removed it at all. Then noticed that there is a litle bit of thermal paste on one of the components on GPU. I cleared it, and temperature is 50°C. The thermal paste probably covered temperature sensor and cause a false reading of sensor.
Thany you for reading
