guys does anyone knows what a gtx580 idle temp shud be? roughly i mean. coz mine is idling around 55c

Mine is around 43-45'c. But that is when I just boot it up. When I start to play a game then finish up. It will drop to around 48-50, it will take some time to drop till around 45'c.

weird.. mine boot up already 50c ++ then it will maintain at 55c. even when i on ac it will only drop 'til 52c. is there sumthing wrong with this card?

I don't really know, but if you refer to other reviews on the web the idle temp should be lower than 50'c. How about you try to run your system outside the casing to rule out that the airflow might be the culprit. I'm using 2 reference GTX580s as well.

i'm using gtx570..the question is why when i play bf3 on ultra setting at 1920*1080, the screen is flickering ea? Is it the gpu no power enuf or need to overclock? TQ. my processor is i52500k, 4gb of ram and asrock z68.

There is no overclocking needed to fix BF3 screen flicker. There should be no flickering issue anymore on BF3 because Nvidia had released many drivers until now. The only fix I could suggest is reinstall BF3 & download the latest driver.

Unless if the flickering happens on other games as well, then it might be other issue other than the driver.

Additionally, you can try to click the game on the taskbar when it starts to launch rather than waiting for it to load up and pops up into fullscreen by itself.

its open case. i dont even put the side panels on. so i doubt its the airflow

and i'm using windows 7 32bit, is it the culprit? Actually i download the game via origin and when i need to play, i must login first the account and the web will load first and then only i can play it..is it contribute to the problem? TQ.

Then I guess it's the card then. 10MHz overclock won't make any differences at all.


No it shouldn't be. Everyone launches the game via the battlelog. It just that, for certain people, texture flicker does happen, the only fix for that is to click on the game on the taskbar once it's being launched from the battlelog. So this will make you to enter a blank fullscreeen and you'll have to wait it to load.

do u think i shud return the card or how? any solution?

what temp monitoring tool u used to check the GPU temp?
try using different tools & see.
u might wanna try re-applying TIM in which i believe would reduce the temp.

I would suggest you to try to RMA. But don't expect a good outcome. Based on my experience this kind of case is hardly will be entertained by the shop or distro. But you could try to push your luck, clearly 55'c is not the right idle temperature for the card especially in air-conditioned room. That's if the monitoring software that you are using is displaying the temperature correctly

If RMA fails, you could try as owikh suggested. But bear in mind the risk if you don't have any experiences doing this, perhaps you could try to find someone that have experience in stripping naked a GTX 580.

This is my current temps, with the casing's side panel opened using MSI Afterburner BETA

i am using afterburner and gpuz. both showing the same temp.
also already tried reapplying TIM and managed to reduce 3-4c
here is my temp now, open case and in A/C. is this considered ok with stock cooling?

Should be okay. Mine is around that temp too when I'm not using my own fan profile

but mine is in a/c like that.. if no a/c will be a bit toasty

i also got the same asus reference gc & same clock as yours @kakicam
the temp also the same.. btw the gc i bought 2nd from lyn forumer..

GTX680 wooot woott

Just try to setup your own fan speed profile according to your noise tolerance level for your GTX 580. It helps

don't compare with overseas.
my watercooled GTX580 (no AC) was idling at 40C.
On stock cooling was 50C.

my gtx680 temp idling at 35c to 45c
