Hey everyone!
This is my first post. So I have a PC with a RTX 2080Ti. I would like to know which of these 2 options is better for my GPU's life span. So with my current set-up, the 2080Ti runs hot. Just when I boot up PC and let it sit on desktop (nothing running, 0% Utilization of GPU), its temperature is already 61 C. When I play AC Odyssey or GTA V 1080P on Ultra setting it sits around 83-85 C. Is this normal? When the 2080Ti is just chilling out not doing anything other than being on, is it normal for temperature to be around 61 C? And then is it normal for 2080Ti to run at 85 C on AAA games? Anyway, this is how it is DEFAULT. Now I think I found a solution. I need Linustechtips forum for opinions and expertise. I installed MSI Afterburner in order to set a custom fan curve. With the custom fan curve, my gpu now sits at 48-50 C with 0% Utilization, and when playing the games mentioned above my gpu now sits at 70 C!! Holy shit, right? It seems too good to be true..I understand that the fans life is compromised but is it logical to compromise the fans lifespan and just replace fan earlier than usual (can't be too hard, can it?) in order for my gpu to run almost 15 C less? Like I said it seems too good to be true so I need opinions and expertise. I feel like its essentially a choice between gpu lifespan or fan lifespan. Or do I just have a complete misinterpretation of gpu temperatures and whats considered safe or optimal? Maybe 85 C vs 70 C doesnt make a noticable difference in lifespan?
Thank you so much
