GPU Temperatures

We wanted to look at the temperatures on all cards measured during gaming and stressed 100% with a shader application. Room temperature is 21 Degrees C, the chassis side panel is closed (Corsair D800).

So with the two cards fully stressed and close to each other as just explained, we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU that got hot the most, there was definitely an increase in the GPU temperature on one of the GPUs, yet it stabilized at 90 Degrees C which quite honestly is quite a little too much for my taste.

Obviously with extra GPUs in your PC, please make sure your PC is well ventilated at all times, this will seriously help you on the overall GPU temperatures, and again if the mobo allows it, place the 2nd card a slot lower as it will make al lot of difference. We however test the worst case scenario.
