Max Temps

[Koda Edrick]

I currently have a 1660 ti Msi ventus GPU and i was wondering, whats the max sustained temps that it could handle without damaging it?

Does anyone have an idea on what the max temps should be?

Ventus isnt that great of a cooler, but the GPUs are designed thermally to run without issue up to 84c. 84c is when they really thermal throttle and knock the clocks off to keep temps. They will incrementally drop clocks up to that point but once at 84c they will drop further and likely below spec to keep the heat in check.

Nvidia lists 95°C as the max temperature for the 1660 cards.

Thats strange... that page also shows the NVENC encoder being Turing based.. pretty sure the 16 series is NOT turing based though for the NVENC encoder?
