Question about Elgato Game Capture HD 60 Pro (PC internal)

4 years ago

Does the card get hot? so can I put it under my gpu without worrying about the temperature? The capture card would be about 5cm below my graphics card, which is in the top PCIex16.

Very good question. I had 3 Elgato 4k capture cards and every single one had overheating problems and it wasn't even with the other components, they were all water cooled. The card itself is just so poorly built that all sorts of streaming and recording to 1440p or 4k will render the card useless within a few months.

I therefore recommend the "AverMedia 4k". They have informed themselves well and have built thermal pads into their card. I've been using it for 3 years without any problems.
