    The tower is a HP Pavilion p6531p Desktop and the graphics card I'm thinking of buying is a EVGA GeForce GTX 750.

    I've already upgraded the ram and would like to upgrade the video card + power supply as well. What's stopping me is that I'm not too sure if it will fit or not.

    What do you guys think?

    EDIT: It fit perfectly!

    graphics card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Heat Security
  • Marcus Hansson

    I am running some pretty heavy calculations (Running Bitcoin hash-mining) on my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460, and, needless to say, I´m quite paranoid whenever the heat reaches 50 degrees celcius (Which it always does).

    So, if I were to leave it on over the night, is there any built-in security-measures (Like automatic restarts whenever heat´s above X degrees)?

    If not, what happens if the heat go over, say 80 degrees? Would it just keep working ´til it burns to death?

    Usually video card can take temperatures of 100C (in your specific case, 104C), so 50C is quite fine.

    As for safeties, all recent NVIDIA cards have thermal shutdown features, so system should power down before card is damaged. As far as I've seen, the shutdown temperature should be 125C, but I don't have exact source for 400 series cards. It could be lower on them.

    Unfortunately, Nvidia GPUs are not the best choice for mining bitcoin. If you are trying to mine with Nvidia, your power costs will be a lot higher then your return of bitcoins. If you are serious about mining bitcoins, invest in a couple high end ATI Cards and you can see a positive return on your investment. I know this doesn't answer your question but it is advice you can use a lot more in the long run.
