Good temps for games?

[ItzUknown]

The Zotac AMP RTX 2060 super has been working really nicely , but as I have done in the past i comeback here because I want to ask for my temps (again).I was playing assasing creed syndicate and I was on the first memory and saw the card hit 81 C!! Is that normal , because on apex legends it does the same!!! Will the card last for a long time ? or will it frie itself??

81C is fine for long term use. You could try improving the airflow in your case, but the card will try to boost its core clock up as much as it can within the power/temperature limit (which is about 80C by default).

My card gets around that hot too. From what I've heard, it's not an issue. As long as you aren't getting into the high 80s to low 90s you should be fine. My card gets around 82 °C when I play something like Apex or Titanfall 2, and it works fine.

Still safe, but it may get hotter in other games and your performance will be decreased from the GPU trying to keep the temps from getting too hot. I would check case air flow and set a custom fan curve for the GPU.

Well , I have a plan to put more than 1 fan into my case (280x for corsair)

Well its ok because I play a lot of less demanding games more commonly ,than AAA games

OK , so basically no problem , and also I have a question : Whatever game you play even if its from 2015 or 2019 are the temps going up ? Because i have a large library and except some really lite games like CSGO and Minecraft a lot of other games from multiple generations make my card run hot

If you have just one fan in the case then yeah there's your reason, especially if it's an exhaust but it'll bad either way.

Yes, I've found that it doesn't really matter how old or new the game is. It matters more how graphically intense it is. Titanfall 2 was released in 2016, and it heats my GPU up as much as if not more than Apex or Forza Horizon 4.

Its mounted on the "down side" of the case and yeah it's an exhaust XD . I just started learning about fans and the pull and push things so yea..

Ok so like having AC Blackflag push it as much as BF1 is not concerning. Welp thanks a lot !!

You'll want to set up your intakes in the front and bottom, and exhausts in the top and rear of the case. Because hot air rises, this will be the optimal way to ensure that you have good airflow in your case. What you could do, until you get new fans, is switch the fan you've mounted in the bottom to an intake, even just that should improve your GPU temps quite noticeably I would imagine.

Well my case does not have a rear fan mounting spot but it has 2 in the top ,2 in the front and 2 in the bottom and I have 1 fan in the bottom as an exhaust

Also, will I get a better result if I undervolt the card because I saw a video with a Zotac card going up to 83 and he set the vtage to 900mv and the card spiked up to 76 degrees max

You'll get lower performance and possibly the card will become unstable. Did switching the bottom fan to an intake not help with temps?
