gpu temp Can I cool down my gpu somehow? And it sounds likeshair dryer or vacuum cleaner

[simon01920]

My GPU is literally at playing games running at 88-92 °C. I don't think that's normal. When nothing runs only windows itself and maybe chrome or something temps are 52-55 °C, especially when I read that people have GPU temps in normal usage at 30-40° C. Can I cool it down somehow or maybe install additional cooling to the case, or maybe water cooling on GPU (but I don't think that's a good idea because I mess up something and my GPU ruined.) I need your advice thanks.

 

An additional problem is that it sounds like a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner when it runs. That noise is annoying and distractful. Don't know any solutions, tips?

 

My GPU is Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (blower).

Tear it down and replace the thermal paste with something decent like MX-4.

OK then normally open GPU and replace thermal paste with arctic MX-4 thermal paste right? And what cool down I should expect? how many degrees approximately?

[Hiya!]

ahh blowy 970. yes it can run hot cause i had one before..it could goes up to 80c under load even when i take the side panel off and its verry loud. but yours just need a thermal paste replacement

depens on ur case airflow and fan curve but it should be around 78-83 under heavy load

to about 85C max load? Unfortunately blowers aren't good at giving low temperatures.

Too many variables to really give a concrete answer but ideally it'd be somewhere in the high 70s unless you have ass-class airflow where it might end up hitting the 80s.

 

Also shouldn't forget to mention that being a blower you'll probably want to clean it out. Takes a lot less dust to block blowers up and make cooling far worse.

Ok then I try that. Thank you all for advices for this case. 

 

When it won’t work I will comment again on this post. 

 

For now goodbye and thank you once again. :)
