Hey everyone I was wondering if my 670 FTW idle temperatures at 42-44C are ok? I am used to seeing people saying their GPU's idle at 30C. I do not want to ramp up my fan speed and shorten its life it is already at 55%+, max is 80. no overclocks are on.
Also another question, how do I unlock the temp target on the new evga precisionx

Seems warm to me. I idle 29 or below with max temps of 70 only around benching. Set up a fan profile in EVGA precision.

I do have a fan pofile set. I mean even if I put it at max at 80 it will only get to maybe 39. and that small of a drop is not worth the life reduction of the fan to me.

Also another question. I have heard of people's idle GPU clock speed being 325Mhz and temps being really cool. How do I get my clock speed to drop without crashing the drivers. that is the only way that I have ever seen it drop is when I am overclocking it and crashing the drivers.

If that screenshot was taken at idle, it appears your clocks are not dropping and that is why you're running hot. Do you have kboost enabled in precision or "prefer maximum performance" enabled in the nvidia control panel?

ambient temps and case temps also affect idle temps
on a hot day my 680 can idle at 39-42c

Hey everyone I was wondering if my 670 FTW idle temperatures at 42-44C are ok? I am used to seeing people saying their GPU's idle at 30C. I do not want to ramp up my fan speed and shorten its life it is already at 55%+, max is 80. no overclocks are on.
Also another question, how do I unlock the temp target on the new evga precisionx
Are you running more than one monitor or a 120hz monitor? If so, this is likely why your GPU is not down clocking to idle.

Yea those temps are normal for a full clock idle. Although, unless you have 2 monitors, or other things as people have said, then something is wrong. I idle at 38C at full clocks (1201mhz) and that's with K-Boost on, I idle at like 25c or something if I let it actually idle (325mhz). But I have the up down clock so I just use K-Boost.

is k-boost enabled? if so it will idle a little hotter as clocks stay up !

thanks for all of the info guys. I figured out That it was the preferred maximum performance enabled in the control panel. I thought that that option would allow it to use more power when needed, not keep it at full clock the whole time. Now it idles at its normal speed and temps are about 33C.

Depends on your fan profile, no reason to make your fans work hard at idle. The only temp you need to worry about is at load, you want to stay under 65C :) I have yet to see above 64C on either of my 670 FTW's on any benchmark. I run both my fans on auto with just a slight alteration to a stock fan curve.
