Photoshop CC -- OpenCL causes GPU temperature to rise instantly with no load

Hello all,
I've just installed Photoshop CC 64 and am finding that with "OpenCL" checked under performance, my graphics card (Nvidia GTX 670, 2 gb, with updated drivers) temperature immediately rises from 33 C to over 45 C, and "core" from 324 Mhz to 1,005 Mhz (yellow zone), with high memory usage, without even opening an image. This does not occur with CS 6 (13.1.2 x64) with OpenCL checked -- the temperature remains constantly in the 33-35 C range. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Is it a bug in PS CC? (system: Windows 7, x64 pro, 24 gb ram, i5 3570k)
Thanks,
Art

We think it's a driver bug, as it seems to be limited to certain cards and driver versions (well, that and the fact that Photoshop doesn't even touch OpenCL until you run a filter that uses it).
We're still investigating the problem.

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.
(Do this at your own risk, extreme heat can damage your hardware)

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.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

Does Photoshop Elements use the GPU?

I cannot find a difinitive statement as to whether Photoshop Elements uses the GPU or not. I am about to buy a new computer and I am trying to determine if I should spend the money to get a higher end graphics card or not. The two options in the computer I am looking at are the Nvidia Quadro K1000M and K2000M, both with 2Gb. The K2000M is $250 more and I need to decide if it will provide better performance with Elements. Thanks.

Some software use the computer’s GPU (addition to or in place of the CPU) in order to complete its given task in a shorter period of time. Photoshop is an example of one of these applications; it uses the GPU instead of the CPU to complete its tasks faster. 3DS Max is another example. It uses all available cores to render faster.
Now you might be thinking those all have to do with graphics... Well... Doesn’t imovie have to do with graphics, too? I mean utilizing the GPU to encode video is a good idea IMO. Even if you don’t associate iMovie with graphics, and somehow think it’s impossible for it to ever take advantage of a GPU, what about the other software that’s completely unrelated to graphics and video encoding? The legality or intentions of the software is questionable... (ie wireless network auditing) But regardless, it still takes advantage of the GPU to accelerate its tasks to incredible speeds. If stuff like that can do it, why can’t a program designed for processing video do it?
Anyway, I won’t be able to tell you if adobe makes NTSC discs or not. I already have toast 10 which I just discovered it burns NTSC DVD discs and even Blu Ray video discs without returning a demuxing error every other video. And to think it was only useful for burning data discs. It doesn’t use the GPU either, but it seems to encode DVD video considerably faster than iDVD.

Adobe photoshop elements 8 causes the computer to shut down when I click; won't reinstall. Ideas?

Adobe photoshop elements 8 causes the computer to shut down when I click on it. I can't reinstall the program. Suggestions for troubleshooting? All other programs work fine.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I had installed PSE8 about 2 years ago and it had worked well until today. When ir crashed the computer, I tried uninstalling PSE8 and then reinstalling the program. No luck. T he operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium.

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.

Does Photoshop CC support Multi GPU?

Hey Everyone!
Does Photoshop CC support multi GPU like Cinema 4D? Would be nice to read a "Yes"

Are you thinking in terms of leveraging additional GPU support ti increase performance? If that is the case, I am not 100% sure, but have a strong feeling that the answer is no. This is from memory of answers Chris Cox has given here. If you are thinking more in terms of supporting a third monitor, then I think is more OS than Photoshop, and will probably work. Least ways I hope so because it’s something I’d like to do when I get round to it.
The thing is, a good system with the good GPU is going to be more than enough for Photoshop for most of what you would use it for.

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.

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.

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....

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?
Interesting discussion here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/n … 05699.html

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?
This question was solved.

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.
