Solved What is the pny gtx 960 max temp?

[logo897]

What is the max temp because when I go to play call of duty advanced warfare, my PC shuts down and gives me a blue screen. I notice that it plays black ops 2 fine, is that because it's less demanding? What's wrong? I've seen it go to a max of 55 Celsius and it wasn't bad according to speccy. Thanks in advance.

Might just be that game because I opened case up and still does it...

Your Power Supply may not be giving enough juice on some games (Yes the TDP changes for every game). 55 degrees is fine though.

Isn't 450 watts enough? And what is tdp?

Hi,
Most people that want to control or oc a graphic's card will use a utility that does so like gpu tweak from ASUS or similar if the manufacture offers one pny I did not see a download for one,
But temp wise I doubt 55c is bad it's about the same 52c one of my 980 hybrids = water cooled runs at under load.

Another asus 980 has a target temperature of 79c but regardless with gpu tweak.... you can change the target temps.

But yes sounds like the game is not installing well ?

I reinstalled the game and put the fan to the max a few hours ago and it still didn't work for some reason.

Hi,
See if this is the cause :/

I just did a stress test on my other PC and it did not shut down and the temp managed around 80-60 C. I remember now playing a game on my tower and the temp went up to 90C with the fan on max then 98 C and it froze. I think it's my tower that's the problem and lack of space for the card does that sound right?

Hi,
Like I said the target temp for gpu's I've seen is 79c and should pretty much maintain that temp,
If not I'm sure ventilation could be an issue,

Oc'ing the gpu will raise the 79c starting point so if you're overclocking the gpu or cpu things might be different.

What are the cpu temps because in the 90c range is not good

Post a picture of the case and the card in it.

The cpu is around 50-60 C and ok I put a pic of the PC

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep you have a ventilation issue
Time for a relocation project

Are there any ways I can put a fan inside the case? I ordered a new case before this happened but don't know if it'll work with my Lenovo h50-50 motherboard https://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-case-fbm02

Hi,
You'd have to use cpu-z to detail what the board actually is
CPUID
Download and open and go to the Main board section/ memory/ graphic's and take screen shots.
Lenovo.... isn't going to be detailed enough.

But yes you don't even have a exhaust fan in the top back :/
But you need at least one in the front or bottom intake which I can't tell if that's an option on that case.

Ok when I get back to the machine I'll scan it and I saw a 4 pin connector too by the opening. Looks like a fan can go there I suppose.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep at the very least add a af or sp120mm fan here or even a 4 pin PWM fan to suck hot air out of the case.

I don't need a new case for now it appears that I am blowing lots of cool air on it with my fan and it's going good so far, and I thought about it and I wanna avoid a new case at all costs. Sorry bout that..

 

[logo897]

Thank you so much I will do that!

 

[ThrashZone]

Adding a fan or 2 is no biggie
I would also get some plastic ties and wrap the bare ends of the loose wires where the plugs are so they don't touch anything metal and arch
Looks like at least one is touching the top of the gpu.

 

[logo897]

Sounds great. Thanks again!

I'm so upset I just have played skyrim for an hour and it has froze on me twice while my gpu is only 45C! I have literally air pounding on it, and it even passed the benchmark test running at a solid 60C degrees for 16 mins. Is it just skyrim being dumb?
