[gentoo-user] re: nvidia GeForce 8400 GS temperature readings
I've set up gentoo on my desktop PC. I have a question about what temperature readings for the Nvidia GPU in question are considered to be safe. At the moment, the temperature readings for my GPU, as reported by the XFCE sensors plugin are 73 degrees C. Here's some info about my current set-up that might be helpful. lspci -v|grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) uname -a Linux box1 3.10.17-gentoo #2 SMP Fri Dec 20 23:03:32 EET 2013 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux equery -q l '*nvidia*' media-video/nvidia-settings-304.60 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20 equery -q l '*sensors*' sys-apps/lm_sensors-3.3.3-r3 xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.2.5 equery -q l '*hddtemp*' app-admin/hddtemp-0.3_beta15-r7 rc-update show|egrep 'lm_sensors|acpid|hddtemp' acpid | default hddtemp | default lm_sensors | default pwd /usr/src/linux grep '^[^#].*ACPI' .config CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=y CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=y CONFIG_ACPI_I2C=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0 CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER=y CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y CONFIG_PNPACPI=y CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_SENSORS_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_DMA_ACPI=y Any input would be appreciated.

On my laptop I have: lspci|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98M [GeForce G 103M] (rev a1) And it's running at: nvidia-smi -a|awk '/Temperature/,/.*Gpu/' Temperature Gpu : 46 C So, I thought I'd ask. So, the temperature readings must be GPU model dependent, are they? Thanks.

It also depends if the card is passively cooled or not. I had a passively cooled one of those cards and it ran in the high 80s to high 90s all the time. I remember reading way back when the card actually does some throttling between 110-120C. Another thing to note is that your model cards typically didn't have a very broad cooling solution, it only has fan on and fan off states. I wound up strapping a 80mm fan to my passively cooled card to cool it a little more. Yours is running quite a bit cooler than mine though. Dan
