Grafik card too hot ¡¡¡¡Why???

  • I have this graphic card: Asus GeForce 210 TC Silent 1GB GDDR3

    I decided to use this card coz my motherboard has no hdmi output.

    My htpc: Intel i5 + 8ram + ssd 120 gb + tecnotrend 4200 tuner.

    All good until i started using the video card listed above getting very hot at 95 to 100 celsius ¡¡

    The integrated gpu works between 50 & 60 celsius. tested both doing the same thing just watching videos 1080.

    Could it be a driver problem?

    Any tips?

  • All graphics cards need proper cooling, the silent/fanless ones even more so.

    The integrated CPU/GPU already has its own cooling, but 50-60 celsius I think is already too high for a CPU doing 'nothing' while the GT210 does all the hard work. Perhaps you need to think of a better cooling solution altogether. A different casing or better/more fans perhaps?

    Which driver is currently used? Check in the System Information section. BTW, the integrated GPU in the i5 (which one exactly??) is probably better anyway, try using LibreELEC also without the GT210).
