I setup a new rig last weekend and am checking on my temps and they seem to be a bit high.
Ambient is 79F/26C and these are reference coolers.
At idle the gpu fans are running at 38% and 60C. This seems extraordinarily high. While running BF4 on ultra the fans kick up to about 55% and the cards hit 82C which is the temp target that is set by default in the EVGA Precision tool.
I have seen that the non-superclocked card temps at idle are around 34C on [H] and hitting 83C with 62% fan at load. So 82C @ 56% seems pretty good but the idle seems way off.
I could just bump up idle fan speed but that doesn't seem the correct solution. I'm wondering if maybe my ambient is just too warm possibly? My case is a HAF X with plenty of air flow.
EDIT: To give an idea of the case temps, CPU idle is reporting about 35C and motherboard reporting 34C.
Thoughts?
