All computer components during operation emit a certain amount of heat.When bad cooling temperature of the computer may reach critical values, and disable it, especially the graphics card.This article will try to understand what the normal temperature of the video card should be and how to avoid its increase.
temperature graphics cards from different manufacturers differ from each other, and much depends on the way of its cooling and power.For normal video, it is about 40 degrees during idle and 70 degrees under load.Too often learn what a normal temperature of the video card is not necessary.A single test every three months.If there are disruptions in the operation in some applications, rebooting, and performance degradation, the testimony of temperature sensors can tell a lot about the experienced user.
Currently equipment for computers operating at very high frequencies and producers, due to the very large competition, very excessive demands on the power and performance of the product.Nowadays gamers lucky enough, as manufacturers, competing among themselves for the market, produce models with a stunning power "iron" for a relatively small cost.In addition, companies in the fight for the customer is already in the factory default overclock the video card to the serious performance, or provide different tools for self "acceleration" of computer "iron".
gaming card has become hot property, and to constantly maintain the normal temperature of the video card producers set a variety of complex cooling system with large coolers and radiators.
If the serviceability of the cooling system does not allow such heating processor, but over time any, even the most reliable equipment begins to wear, the more cooler.Grease dries, the dust gets deformed parts.The result - overheating and failure.
If your computer came like "symptoms" and the optimum temperature of the video card is outside its limits, it is necessary to take appropriate measures:
- first, pay attention to dust clogging of the cooler fan and cooling fins;
- Secondly, we should pay attention to the location of the system unit (around it should be a free space for the fresh air and quality of ventilation).Even such a simple action as the removal of the side cover of the system unit at times improves the cooling of the computer and its performance;
- Third, you can use a variety of programs that enhance the speed of the fan cooling the graphics card.In this case, to the normal temperature of the video card did not exceed the permissible limits when running "heavy" applications, you must manually increase the frequency of the fan.
We would like to say about the effectiveness of the latter point.Adjust the airflow is necessary not only to maintain the optimum temperature of the video card, but also to ensure its supply of power.You are free to carry out a simple experience: in the amplification of cooling on your computer frame rate increased by fifteen percent!A good performance boost, you think?
Can you imagine the possibilities of your computer, if the normal temperature of the video card at full load, it will be much lower than laid down by the manufacturer?To do this, there are systems of power forced cooling, the main component of which is liquid nitrogen.Well, that's a topic for another article ...
I wish you to use only high-quality and a good "hardware"!Good luck!
