Exclamation Is this bad? (Look at the screenshot.)

Uh - I just noticed this a couple weeks ago. But my computer has (seemingly/apparently) been running fine since I built it in the later part of March / earlier part of April (can't remember which).

Look here:

My GPU is an EVGA (Nvidia) 9800 GTX Superclocked edition.


The room is normal tempertaure (in the 70s Fahrenheit).

Default Re: Is this bad? (Look at the screenshot.)

I take it your talking about the core temperature. 62c Is about normal..... my 8800GT with stock cooler ran at 60c idle temps.... I don't see 62 being a problem. UNLESS of course, your GPU is watercooled or has a good aftermarket cooler on it, then I might be a "little" worried there.

What cooler do you have on it? Stock?

Also, do you have relatively good air flow in your case?

Yes, I was referring to the core temperature.
Yes, stock cooler.
...
Actually, I think the air flow in my case is probably horrible.

I don't have the money/energy to use for getting a new case.
You should see what the setup looks like... You'd think I was completely paranoid if you hadn't seen my signature first. I have a case that has its CPU label from what came in it a long time ago - "intel inside - Pentium III". I also have two four-inch table-top fans situated with one blowing air up into the intake, and one blowing the exhaust away.
I use all stock coolers, and I have no case fans (yet).

I haven't replaced my air filter since I installed it when I built the computer.
(Air filter? Did he just say air filter? For a computer!?. Yes... but that's another story.)
