Have you de-dusted your PC any time in the last four years?
I did
same, sadly I know jack-shit about pcs so good luck to the both of us.
buy AIO or better case
Undervolt. I did that and it barely gets hot now. Also avoid Unreal Engine games.
get a GTX 1650 like I have, cool as a cucumber
could be manufacturing error. what's your psu? maybe too weak. last rig died because psu was too weak wich resulted in hight temps. i only found out after getting a new pc...
you could always replace thermal paste. just screw it open and apply a bit but make sure to not move the cooling pads. there are tutorials online.
Will try this
Psu is fine. My card is gigabyte and it seems people who have gigabyte cards are having the same problem. Card is fine until it hits the 76-80c range then the fans start going crazy for a few seconds
80 is fine
That card shouldnt be overheating. Reapply the thermal paste and reseat the heatsink. Also have proper room for your fans.
You might have a poor fan curve too like having low fan speed until it gets too hot.
Also try undervolting by using the MSI Afterburner software, look what frequency your card hits and apply that frequency number to lower voltage level, i think 50mV offset is safe?
Fan curve doesn't matter the card overrides it after it reaches 76c. Isn't undervolting basically making your card worse?
Youre asking the card to do same performance but at lower voltage levels. Youre sacrificing stability for lower temperature and power consumption
>Isn't undervolting basically making your card worse?
Undervolting can actually improve performance, as it lower temps and power consumption, which can mean that it can reach a higher frequency before hitting the power limit. A moderate undervolt on my 3070 gave me much more stable clocks (at stock it would drop the frequency by 50 MHz or something when stressed a lot), while with the undervolt it properly stayed at max clocks. Was a couple % performance increase.
the nvidia experience.
you laughed at us AMD consumers.
you reap what you sow.
Card is 2 years old btw my brother is changing the paste rn it looks dry as frick
This is right before the fans go crazy
And this is during it happens for like 2-3 seconds then stops. Weird thing is at %100 fan speed they only reach 3000 rpm
Why do modern GPUs get too hot so much?
I have an ancient shitty GPU and I constantly push it well beyond what it should do yet the temps remain low and it never gets hot.
Has lazy optimization reached hardware and software drivers as well? I dunno about this stuff.
because they are injected with way more current
The power creep is real
Because there's no innovation in the architecture of GPUs, so all they do it crank the existing dials up.
>really wanted a white gpu
>everything is either out of stock or overpriced
>go on facebook market
>find a 3070 strix white for the same price as a 3060
>let got decide my fate
Pretty happy with the outcome. Only issue it has is one of the end rgbs starts flickering like crazy but it gets fixed just by reloading the rgb software.
By the way, what does "hotspot" mean here? I've seen this go up to 100 while playing some games.
Replace the thermal paste.
My 2080ti does that whenever it reaches 77 degrees (celcius). Then it cools down to 76 degrees and the fans slow down... then it hits 77 degrees and the fans go turbosperg again.
Replaced the paste and it stopped. You can probably frick with the ccard so that it has a higher temp limit, but I never did that.
Just undervolted the card to 80% and it never reaches 70 degrees.
This is what we get for investing in modernity I guess.
Look into Asus GPU Tweak.
I think that'll let you increase the temperature limit before the fans go 1000% speed.
What did you use for undervolt? And is it risky?
MSI Afterburner.
Nah, it's not risky. It just restrict the power that goes to the card. There will technically be a performance drop the more you restrict power (and there's probably a minimum limit you can't go below - 80% is working fine for me) but I didn't even notice any change in performance by dropping power 20%.
It's just a bandaid fix though.
The best solution would be to dyor and find out how to view/change the temperature limit on your card to prevent the revving in the first place.
I already solved the revving by changing the t.paste.
Yeah, I did the same thing.
But the temperature limit being so low is still an issue.
Wdym by temp limit? Paste didn't actually lower my temps it just stopped the revving.
>Wdym by temp limit?
Therte's a temperature limit built in the card - when that limit is exceeded it revs the fans at actually 100% of their capability (much more than the '100%' indicated on the fan curve) to cool the card. Like a BIOS. You can get software that will let you modify that built in limit to go higher (~75 degrees is way below where cards CAN operate safely).
At least that's my understanding from my own research. Like I said before, make sure to dyor - never trust a single source on the internet.
That said, if your pasting has ensured the temps stay low, it's a moot point.
If you force your fans to go same speed as before reapplying the paste you would definitely see lower temperatures
Right now your card is comfortable going with whatever rpm it is doing at that temperature
>Paste didn't actually lower my temps it just stopped the revving.
There are multiple heat sensors on a GPU.
Likely there was a hotspot on one of them but not the others and the reported temperature hasn't changed but the new paste fixed the temperature on that one sensor.
Is this actually what happened? It's so weird because my temps are exactly the same it just doesnt rev up to 4.5k anymore.
That doesn't sound like undervolting, but rather setting the power limit. Those are two different things.
Power limit restricts the amount of power consumed. If it hits the limit, the card stops increasing frequency or drops it.
Undervolting means lowering the voltage the card runs at a particular frequency. This is generally done on a curve like this.
Yes. Power limit.
That's why I always say for people to do their own research.
I got it wrong here.
My fans are at 6k rpm constantly when playing and this still cant bring muly gpu temp lower than 85C
t.Laptop gaymer
Okay Idk why it worked but changing the thermal paste stopped the problem. Temps are still the same but fans don't go above 3k rpm anymore.
Hahaha im in your system kid, shouldnt have left the back door open bucky haha just having a look around your files and stuff dont worry haha I wont delete anything....or will I
