Graphics Cards Getting Hot

[HempKnight719]

Hey first time poster. I just joined too. Ok, I have a Gigabyte RX 580 8GB Gaming gpu and it's running hot while gaming medium setting. I have case fans at 100%(3 intake 2 exhaust). I know its not an air flow problem because I have my 1700x overclocked to 3.8ghz and thats stays under 50c with Hyper 212. I just put new thermal paste on the dye and dusted but its still running hot even with fan curve at 75%. Gpu settings are stock. While gaming (WoW, Overwatch) on medium settings seems to be the worst. Im not pushing high fps either. Can anyone help me out? :)

 

Specs:

1700x 3.8 ghz overclocked

16GB Nighthawk RGB 3200

B450 Aorus M

Gigabyte RX 580 8GB Gaming

how hot exactly? Are we talking thermal throttle or 80 degrees?

It's getting high 70's into low 80's

Perfectly normal temps, not very hot.

its never run this hot before though, its a new development. Its used to never get above 65 on Ultra setting in WoW.

Higher ambient temperature?

not yet, weve been having cool weather and windows open cool air flowing through the house

Something must of changed - Things I would try/check:

 

After the thermal paste what happened?

• The temps should have gone down. If they didn't, or went up, you may need to re-apply and perhaps use a different method and/or paste.

Did you install any new GPU software like AORUS Engine, MSI Afterburner, etc? Perhaps the fan profile got changed as well.

• You can also use one of these to create a more aggressive fan profile to lower temps if you want.

Did you move the PC or add any components? Perhaps the air flow in the case is now different.

• Lets say you added a sound card, or change the orientation of a fan. The GPU may not be 'breathing' the same as before.

Did WoW get an update or patch recently?

• Perhaps they found a way to offload more work to the GPU? (Sorry don't play WoW so not sure if its still CPU dependent)

I have had MSI afterburner installed for awhile to monitor that. I dont overclock my gpu which is why im so confused on why this is happening. current hardware has been nothing new. I changed cases for better air flow which im getting now. I had to put my fans to 80% to get the temps under control. letting the fans auto control doesnt cool it enough and temps get into the 80's.

the temps did not go down after the new thermal paste. I use the same thermal paste for my cpu and i am currently overclocked and my cpu stays cool. Wow just updated dx12 support for multithread support.
