Temps for RX 480

[cRsFisA]

Hi everyone,

So I recently cleaned up and changed the thermal paste on my MSI RX 480 4GB Gaming X 

I don't know exactly what kind of temps I had before the clean up,but I just wanna know if the temps that I have right now are fine. While playing Sniper Elite 4 on dx12 ultra settings 1080p for 30 minutes the max temp I saw was 72°C but most of the time was 67-68°C and the card was still really silent, the fans didn't start until it reached 55°C. The room temp is around 20°C.

Specs:

i5 7400 - 3,5 Ghz

2x4GB Ram Corsair Vengeance LPX Black DDR4 2400MHz CL14

MSI B150 GAMING M3 Motherboard

Seasonic Focus+ 80+Gold 550W

1TB HDD WD Blue

240GB Kingston A400 SSD

The case is nothing special, a really old one, with little to no ways for cable management and I also have 0 fans in it.

That's pretty normal. My xfx RX 480 runs around 72c when playing ME Andromeda at ultra settings. At idle it sits around 32c.

definitely fine. For max performance when overclocking below 70C is the best, for normal use I wont be alarmed until it shoots past 85C with loud fans

So I shouldn't be worried about this kind of temps?

70-80c is normal on RX480 and most GPU.

No need to worry.

Nope. The RX 480 cards are fine at those temps. They tend to run hotter than Nvidia cards. If you want to make it cooler, increase the airflow in your case and give a custom fan curve to your gpu.

You can shoot the fan curve using MSI Afterburner if you want. I OCd my 480s (MSI GamingX 8GB) quite aggressively, and got about 60-70 degrees, but I also had much more aggressive fan profile.

 

Stock, the fans aim for silence. Temps are fine. You can have lower temps with louder fans. Experiment and choose what you prefer.
