New to overclocking

[static84]

Hello,

 

I didn't really overclock my GPU by much, but on idle it sits at 59c and at max load or while playing Division 2 it stays at a steady 91c I was wondering if its okay to play at that temperature. 

 

My Specs

 

ASUS ROG Strix x570 E 

Ryzen 3700X overclocked to 4.2 GHz

Corsair vengeance 32 GB 3200 Mhz overclocked to 3400 Mhz

980 Ti MSI Gaming 6G 2x

it's high but not dangerous, could lower life span by a lot though

59c with 79% fan speed on idle? You need to reapply the thermal paste.

91c on the gpu seems fine  haha

jokes aside 91c is not really a temp u wanne game at 24/7 looking at your idle u really should clean/repaste your gpu

Okay, I will revert back to defaults till i can re-paste or buy a new GPU.

 

Thank you

Voltage is where you are getting extra heat, +87mv might not be the whole reason the card is getting hot, but if you want to OC and keep it safe, try to overclock memory then core speed with stock voltages, you might not get as high but its safe.  WIth this it likely won't run much hotter and you shouldn't run into these issues.  This is all assuming you don't have another issue holding the cards back like lack of case ventilation, bad thermal paste on GPU dies, etc

You can turn up the "Power Limit" slider, that is not voltage but wattage, on its own not a issue.
