My GPU temperature reaches 61C under full load with the NV Silencer 5 rev. 3 fan running at full speed. At idle, the temperature is around 42C. So I know for a fact based on research that those temperature are in good range.
When my video card is under load though, it feels really hot when I open the case and touch it with my finger. Does that mean some parts of it are too hot when under load, even though the GPU temperature is reported to be only 61C under full load?
Not just the back enbd of the car by the GPU feels hot, but the tiny RAM chips on the backside of the card near the PCI-E power connector feel really hot in that it hurts to put your finger on it without quickly moving moving your finger off of it. Does this mean some of my video card is running too hot? It doesn't get any errors when under load, but it just concerns me that it is hot enough to be unable to touch it without feeling like your finger is too hot.
Should I be concerned, or is it totally normal for something like a video card to feel hot when you tocuh it when it is under full load.
Just to note, the other side of the video card near the VGA port does not feel uncomfortably hot to my hand when I touch it. Just to the tight of the GPU near the PCI-E power connector does it feel relaly hot when under load.
