Hello guys/gals

 

I recently bought a prebuilt Lenovo tower with a rtx 2060 and as the title says, if i max the card (Real load, not synthetic) it climbs to 83c very quickly and starts throttling i assume. Are the newer gpus supposed to hit that when maxed or is it just bad cooling on Lenovos part? If so, do i run a risk of damaging the card at that temp?

 

edit: The idle temps are around 35 ish max if that helps

Depends on the exact card you have, which sounds like a blower style card and yes, that is 100% normal.

does it actually throttle? or is that something you just assumed because you assume 85*C is TJMax?

It says that its hitting the temp limit so i assume so.

 

The reason why im kinda squeamish about the temps is that it says that the max operating temp is 89c and it feels abit close for comfort.

Does it throttle?

 

Could raise the fancurve in MSI afterburner.

I raised the fan curve somewhat but it didnt really have that much of a difference.

 

About the throttling IF it happens its minimal and doesnt affect the performance noticeably.

 

I was just worried that is it supposed to do that and dance around the temp limit or is it dangerous :)

doesnt seem like an extreme temp. it probably aims for that temperature when it boosts. probably fine.
