EVGA GTX 1080 Ti temperatures

[iPollox]

Hello,

I've only started to notice that my GPU's idle temp sits exactly at 55C, when I don't have have anything running, and the windows install is relatively new.

 

The Driver Version im using is: GeForce 417.35 WHQL - [r417_18-14 ] (I don't use the bloatware of  GeForce Experience).

 

Specs:

Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

32GB Ram @ 3000MHz

ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING (LGA1151)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (EVGA)

1TB NVMe SSD 970 PRO, 250GB SSD 840 PRO, 1TB HDD

2 Monitors, Main: 144Hz, Second: 60Hz

 

 

When I use NVIDIA Inspector and use the Multi Display Power Saver, I can get my clock way down which lowers my GPU's temp from 55C to about 44C, and then I manually turn the GPU's fans to about 15% and it lowers it to about 32C.

 

Are these temps normal to be in "idle" or is there something I should be looking at?

Most modern GPUs turn off fans at idle for silence which allows the tempos to go up to about 65C before fans turn on.

It is safe.
