Ideal Idle Temps for MSI RX580?

[tiopaco]

I know this is an amateur question, but, what are ideal idle temps for a GPU? I have an MSI Armor RX580 and I'm sitting at or around 55C while at idle. Is that normal/safe, and would adding a case fan drawing air towards my card bring those temps down?

 

I have also attached a screenshot of my GPU thermals from GPU-Z

 

-Thank You

Its fine, could be lower, but doesnt damage the card in any way

That's pretty cool man, GPUs typically run around the same heat as a CPU so as long as your not really going above 85C your good though I would prefer to stick near 75C. I would only add a case fan if I'm having issues with keeping it cool under load, or if the fands are having to really ramp up to spin and I'm not enjoying the sound. You should also be able to set a fan speed curve to control how much your fans ramp up as the card warms up, and just requires some testing and tweaking.

You could idle at 75, and as long as you don't go over 85 under load, you'll be a-ok.

Thank you to all, I appreciate the fast responses. I'll definitely monitor my temps under load, since I'm playing around with the placement of my case fans.

Dont worry, the card will throttle at high temps, preventing damage, and will shutdown if too hot
