GPU getting really hot

[N1mbus95]

So, just built a system last weekend in the nzxt h500 (i'll list everything below), ryzen 3600x(and it's stock cooler) and a RTX 2070 Gigabyte Windforce 2X rev 3.0(it's the one with 2 fans) and the latter is giving me some concerns, after only 15min of gaming(in this case Doom or The Outer Worlds) it gets really hot, like 75C, right after I built it was getting 81C and standing, but I had taken the fans of the case and put them as intake in the front, after seeing the temps I looked it up and saw that the gpu temps are better if the fans are in stock position, so I did that and now Im at the said 75C. My ssd was fixed in the rail right below the gpu(covering that opening to the psu place) and I moved it a little to the back so it wouldn't cover it anymore but it did not help, the unused psu cables are really tide up right below the psu. 

 

Im waiting for a better cpu cooler(Coolermaster 212) and the only theory that I have is that the stock cpu cooler(Wraith Spire) is pushing the hot air that comes from the gpu back at it, but if switiching it doesn't solve, what should I do? Is that a poor airflow issue or should I contact the brand?

 

Thanks for reading and for the help, and sorry for my english

Not much to say, you go it all figured out.

EDIT: 75c for a GPU is nothing, absolutely normal in full load

[miagisan]

75 for a gpu is very good.  Wouldn't worry about it. H500 doesn't have the best airflow either 

[Guest]

How warm is it in the room your PC is in? 75c isn't that much. But it's definitely not your CPU cooler that heats up the GPU. Very often it's the other way around, your GPU is heating up the CPU.

When I get back home this Sunday I'll keep playing for longer and see if it gets any hotter. How hot it would be a concern?

 Around 30C. I think thats the case because the way air blows some of it gets blown in the direction of the gpu, but it is just a guess.

You are wrong, the stock cooler that he got blow the air directly on the motherboard and not in the back fan as would do an after market cooler!!!

And the front case fans then push it out the back, same as the GPU, which also pushes its exhaust out into the case. Tis how airflow works m8, a downward facing CPU cooler isn't going to increase GPU temps dramatically.

Depends on ambient but that's not very good, just normal. Not bad temps, not amazing ones (very good on a stock air cooler is the 60s). It's just fine.

80C is getting toasty but not going to harm the card. 85C or over is rather hot, but again the card won't be harmed. Your clocks will likely drop even further though, Nvidia's boost is very temperature dependent, the hotter they get the lower they boost. 90C would be hella yikes, and anything above that I wouldn't be comfortable with long term.

My 1080ti runs at 70c at 70% fan. 75 isn’t bad at all but you need fresh air in and hot air out at a decent rate to not ruin open air cooler efficiency.

LOL, i have 2 fans blowing directly from the chassi on the GPU, my temps are 70 ish

How on earth you get 60c on full load in the GPU, do you live in the north pole?

I had EVGA 1080 SCs in SLI, top card hit 76C (due to single slot spacing), bottom card 66C, 2100Mhz on the core, in a case (S340 Elite) lots of people shit on because "bad airflow". 

My Vega FE did 75C max with a decent fan curve and that was something shit on for being hot running. 

My 1660 Ti XC Ultra will easily sit in the 70s stock, if I slap the fans to max it'll stay at 50-52C under 24/7 F@H load with a slight overclock. 

 

These are all max temps under extended 100% (and often synthetic) load, in games they're often not as hot since GPUs don't constantly sit at 100% in the majority of titles. 
 

75C isn't anything amazing for a GPU. 70C is better but again not some amazing thing, cards with excellent coolers regularly boast temps much lower than that.

Well, I put the fan curve to 100% after 60C(i dont bother with the noise since im always with headset).

The review I saw(GN's) about the case said that the gpu temps would be around 52C, I know that it wouls vary but 52 to 75C there's a gap, and that's why it's bothering me, also a friend of mine said it shouldnt be above 65C being a dualfan...

GN uses an open air bench. Unless they put it in a case, they are showing you best case scenario.

1660ti and 2070 are very different in terms of power usage. So yes, 70c for a 2070 is not bad

75 is absolutely fine for hours gaming.

Anything above 75 makes me nervous....

And of course if i aply a very aggressive fan curve the GPU wont go higher than 60c

I put the fan curve to 100% after the 60C and ir stills "locks" at the 75C

You'll notice I also mentioned my Vega FE, which has a worse cooler for a card with a much higher power draw and still did the same temps with a decent fan profile. I also mentioned my 1080s, which again, hungrier card, better temps (the 1080 SCs have very nice coolers). 

And even then, I was not directly comparing them to a 2060. I wasn't comparing my 1660 Ti to a 2060 either. OP doesn't even have a 2060 anyways, they have a 2070. So not only are you missing the point, you've got the wrong card in mind. 

My point was to provide multiple examples of GPUs I can personally verify ran at 75C or lower under max (often synthetic) load, as evidence to my claim that 75C is pretty average for a GPU, not at all amazing. It was a direct rebuttal to this statement:

Which in my experience and research is not true at all. There's a fuck ton of GPUs to boast max temps below 75C under full load, that temp is not at all exceptional (hell, I managed to get a 980 Ti in an mITX case to sit at 75C max). It's fine, the card isn't going to be harmed, but it's not "very good". 

OP themselves pointed out that they expected it to run lower, and reviewers have benched it and had it run lower, meaning even for this specific card, 75C still isn't "very good", it's at best average.

Interesting. So you've got 2 fans in the front, 1 in the rear, correct? Have you tried upping the rpms on those as well? The GPU exhausts air into the case, if the case fans cannot push that out then the GPU will suck its own hot air right back in. It's the main caveat to axial coolers.

75C is not bad at all under full or near full load. I would continue to monitor though just in case.

I understand where you were coming from, but again, 75C is not too bad. Is it higher than it should be? Yes. Is it terrible? No. I might have worded it wrong, but it is again not bad. 

 

I am not arguing for arguments sake, but i am trying to alleviate his concern that 70c is not going to do anything to the card.

Nope, I tried: 2 in the front and one in the top and one in the front and two(exhausting) on top and rear and then 2 exhausting on top and rear(as it comes stock in the case) and this last was the best temps. So now im at this: none as intake, one at top and one in the rear as exaust.

I also did that, multiple times. Repeatedly stated it's not a massive issue, the card is in no way going to be harmed, it's not at all bad for the health of the GPU, it's just not an exceptional temp. It's okay, decent, average, it's fine.

Oh well... no intake is gonna oof ya. You want 2x fans front (one roughtly in line with the CPU, one roughly in line with the GPU usually) 1x rear for the classic, clean airflow straight in the front and out the back of the case. I find that's always the simplest and best solution unless you have rads involved or the rig is a special case - such as the 980 Ti sporting mITX rig I mentioned. And even there airflow was still straight in front and out the back, the back exhaust was just a 120mm AIO to make sure the CPU's heat was exhausted directly out the rear of the chassis, to make sure the 980 Ti got the most fresh air from the 2 intake fans as possible. It did, managed to stay at 75C under full load. 
 

Do you only have 2 fans? I'd advise picking up another one, and for now putting the 2 you have in the front. Pushing the air through is going to be more effective than trying to pull it.

So, when i picked it up i tried to change the fan positions to what make sense to me, and I got the fastest rising temps in the gpu, i tried and tried and it really is better with the stock configs, nothing more, nothing less, at least with what I have at hand(the two stock fans that came with the case plus one I had laying around). 

 

Since everyone is saying 75 is okayish im a little less worried, but I would like to know if switiching my cpu cooler will change something to the better

Yeah 75C is fine for the health of the card. Switching the CPU cooler isn't likely to make a massive difference, though it may allow you to move the fans around again (since the CPU cooler's fan can help with exhaust depending on where you point the cooler).

H500 nzxt is the case. In the gamersnexus review they came to this conclusion and as I think it's weird as well, it is what worked out the best so far. About the cpu cooling I think that will help but I'll only know for sure when I put it in, anyway I'll make a update here when this happens so if anyone has the same "issue" they'll get an anwser
