Is my GTX 1070 running Ok?

[BatulDGr8]

Greetings!

 

My System specs are as follows:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600k

RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk

GPU: Inno3d GTX 1070 twin X2 V4

Storage: 120 GB Kingston SSD, 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD

 

My GTX 1070 is not from a reputed brand, I know that. When idle, the card's temperatures linger around 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. I am running a very modest overclock with base clock of 1526 and boost clock of 1703 MHz. When in games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the card goes up to 75 degrees with fan speed of 84% and clocks reaching about 1850 MHz, and under synthetic benchmarks, such as the Unigine heaven, temps go up to 82 degrees ( temp limit set to 86 degrees and TDP at 105%) and fan speeds up to 93% while clocks go up to 1900MHz with GPU Boost.

But, under software like MSI Kombustor, the card reaches 86 degrees and holds it there constantly, with fans ramping up to 95% but clocks only around 1825 MHz. When viewed in software like GPU-Z, it shows PerfCap reason: Thrm.

So I wanna ask that is my card behaving Ok, or is the thermals and the incompetent fan, as it seems, limiting its performance? Please help me clarify this.

 

I am attaching a benchmark report from AC Odyssey

It's normal. Under different loads the GPU will draw different amount of power even if the frequency is the same, so it's normal for frequency and temperature to be slightly different at different times. My laptop's 1060 (so tighter power and temperature constraints) at stock runs from 1735MHz in Heaven Benchmark to 1904MHz in assassin's creed odyssey.

your gpu is basically running on stock clock, the reason why it's running hot is it's a off brand one. these budget-oriented product don't necessarily comes with amazine cooler, they just runs, that's it. you might want to open the card and check if the thermal paste is harded and reapply if need.

 

try use evga pricision to lock your clock from boosting.
