Does this card have any temperature issues? I am trying to decide between this, and the EVGA version of the same card, which blows air out the back.

I have this card on 3 different computers and have had absolutely no temp issues with any of them.

Nope. Hadn't had any issues. Then again, my case has good airflow... It works perfectly for me.

I have the reference card model wit the stock cooler. My ambiant temp is 30C while the card temp is on 40C on zero load with the fan speed on 26%. Opening a demanding game quickly torches up the temp to 90C, which the temperature limit I set for GPU Boost 2.0 using MSI Afterburner.

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can. Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game.

Are you trying to compare this EVGA with the MSI power edition??? If this is OK then choose MSI with eyes closed, it's better. If I'm wrong, I can't help you jejeje maybe this page can help you, but I think it will no answer your question. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

Your card should have a fan on it already. If that is not enough just turn the computer off and let it cool down. Check with the specs on your computer. You can only upgrade so far. I wanted a stronger one myself but EVGA has not made an upgrade for my computer for some time now. But shop around you may find one that I have not seen yet. Let me know if you do. I may just upgrade to a new computer with a dual or triple slot graphics card. Hope this helps you out some.

I have two of them using SLI, I have never had a problem of overheating or any noise at all from either of them. I highly recommend this card for the money.

I would say not. I doubt you'd have enough room to really do your GPU any good but besides that the card is somewhat small. If does however help keep the GPU cooler, or at least I've noticed mine has. Because my room is always warmer /colder in summer /winter my computer gets hot more easily if I have high settings on. After getting the card it helped. If you really want to cool your GPU have you looked into liquid cooling ?

I would recommend this one, I have two of them in SLI. It gets a bit hot but overrall its great

Definitely, I use a 650W PSU and I haven't seen any temperature issues with the card whatsoever in my mid tower PC

this card has much better cooling because it uses two fans, besides that, they use the same gpu/everything. One thing to note is that this one is also overclocked, you can do the same with the evga card but this one is preoverclocked. With the cooling you could overclock it higher if you wish.

As Thomas said, it's a higher clocked version but EVGA still lists it on their site as a 60w card and since it's lacking an external power connector it must be under 75w. The stock GPU speed for a 750ti is 1020MHz and the SC is 1176MHz. Temps for these cards are all incredibly low to mid 50s (C) and noise is also a non-issue. These cards sip power and run very cool.

Due to my setup there really is no stagnate, hot air sticking around my case...all the hot air goes directly out the back. I do know that since using this card, my computer IS a LOT quieter and IS cooler based on temp reading since I placed it in my case.

Have had no issues with heat or noise , bought this card for my son's gaming ... he plays high res games and have had no issues with no noise and runs cool ... great gard! great and reliable so far ... had it about 6 months

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

Hi, Michael. I can't tell, because my other 5 case fans hide it. I can tell you this: the overall noise of the whole system is pretty low. To illustrate this, I had to turn off the air conditioner to notice it. So, the card's fan contribution to noise must be next to nothing. I hope it's useful.

Ryan is correct. I would also add that I have not had any temperature problems so far. Using a nividia 770 and a FX- 8320. Runs like a beast, can play all games with max settings. Lately been playing the witcher 2 which I hear isn't very well optimized and is very graphically intensive. Can run on ultra spec no problems. As far as I can tell the cooling is superb with this case. One problem I do have with the case is I cant figure out how to open the right side of the case so building my comp was a bit of a pain. You might be able to open it, I just was in a rush. OH and the dvd/cd drive compartment is too small so I have to reach in a little bit to push the button to open the drive. Still a good deal @ $60 even with some minor design issues.

I run in the low 60's if I have the card maxed out. I have these running in SLI. I have a high airflowcase also. You should set up a custom fan profile through MSI afterburner if you haven't already. Everything I see online seems to say that is a safe operating temp.
