Is my Gtx 1080 overheating?

[magicammo]

Hello I have a question so recently I moved the location of my case to underneath my desk inside of an open cabinet and I was running thermal tests while playing games and the GPU would reach up to 82c. I found that a bit alarming so I relocated the computer back to the top of the desk and even when moving it to the top its still at the same temp even when at 100% fan speed. I guess it's been running this hot the whole time I've had no issues but is this normal. Note the card I have is a zotac mini

definitely far from overheating. sub 90 is generally ok, and sub 85 is usually ideal unless you're very anal about temps.

Try repasting, even a mini card shouldn't be that terrible. Note that the same cooler is also used for the 1080ti mini, if it's already doing this on the 1080 the 1080ti will be unusable.

My fancy strix ran around that temp. Would expect the same from a mini.

My rtx 2080 is 40-50c idle so that's normal

I use to have a GTX 1070 strix and that thing never went over 65c I loved that card I wish I never sold it lol. But the only downside to it was it's size

okay so after a couple days of troubleshooting I noticed that while idle my GPU was sitting at 50c and my GPU clock would sit at 1100mhz and my mem clock at 5005mhz. The only thing that would change the past couple days were the drivers and I added a second monitor. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers didn't fix it right when I unplugged the second monitor temperatures dropped and memory and GPU frequencies dropped instantly who would have thunk lol

That’s because it can’t down clock. 

 

Run nvidia inspector and turn on multi monitor power saving. That’s what I do on any system with an air cooler. 

 

Just dont do it with too many monitors or 4K stuff. Becomes unstable if you don’t adjust it accordingly.

What's Nvidia inspector? My main display is 1080p 143hz and my second witch is positioned vertically is 1440p 60hz. Yea I only have 2 monitors. This only help the idle temperature but not the temperature while gaming the temperature while gaming still sits at 82C

It’s a program for the gpu. Can overclock and set fan speeds and set profiles. 

 

Not sure what else you could want from the temps. You have a mini. Get better airflow and put new tim on the card.

I'll check it out thanks. Yeah I know but what's weird is I came from using the ncase m1 to the nzxT h200 and the temps were  like 80c+ while gaming and when I switched it dropped to like 65-70. I haven't checked the temps in about 8 months so maybe I should reapply some thermal compound.
