CPU High T after Overclocking GPU

[TomasFer]

Hey everyone!

 

Thanks in advance if you happend to help me. 

 

The problem is I used MSI Afterburner to overclock my GPU, I used the OC scanner, Benchmarks and trial and error, so I ended up with any method with the same overclock values, 110-120 Mhz for core clock and 950-1000 Mhz for memory clock, all of this ofcourse with no core voltage manipulation, the only additional thing I did was change the fan curves so they were a little bit more agressive. The first days nothing wrong happened, I got my extra FPS playing Warzone at an avarage CPU temperature of 72 with 77 max, but now im getting 77 avarage with 84 max (all this in celcius), now I changed the settings on the afterburner to default, and Im getting 77 avarage with 81 max, still above of what was before. I already bought a gamaxx gt air cooler which should be arriving home in a week, and it should lower the T a bit, but still I think these T are high and I dont know how to make them go back to what they were.

 

PD: I just thought of something that could make a little bit of more CPU work making it get higher T, I had a 1366x720p 60hz monitor and yesterday I bought a 1920x1080p 144hz monitor, now im running dual monitors, that might be it, right?

 

Spec:

i5 9400f

gtx 2070 super

 

Thanks!

Did your graphics settings in Warzone change in-game?

 

You mean a 1920x1080p monitor 

If you increase the monitor resolution, then your GPU will definitely be put under more load, which will increase its heat output into the computer case.

I wouldn't be surprised that your CPU is also being pushed a little further, both from the monitor resolution increase, and OC on the RTX 2070S able to push more frames out.

nothing ingame changed, just the monitors, what do you think about the T, are they to worry about?

You may be getting more heat inside your case, make sure you have good air flow through the case.

84*C is still within safe levels...but it is a little bit on the higher side.

If you are using the stock Intel cooler on your i7-7700K now, the Gammaxx should significantly help with the temperatures.

^ This

What computer case are you using, and how is your case airflow set-up?

Its a cooler master mb511, it has three fans in the front and one in the back, it also has a top meshed panel, but no fans there

First test for airflow problems is taking off the side panel. How much do temps improve? You can also try pulling your front panel and seeing if that helps.

 

If it does, you can add more fans and/or increase fan speeds. An extra top rear fan could help get some extra heat out. Brute Force method works, more fans more better.

From what I can see, the BM511 only came with one fan from the factory.

What fans are you using in the front, and how are they controlled?

Like @Demonic Donut said, if your front fans are spinning too slow, you might have an airflow issue.

 

What is the temperature for the graphics card?

If your case airflow is bad, your graphics card temperatures would be on the higher side too.

Card gets to maximum 59C on highest load, im not sure about the fans in the front, ill try changing the curve too.

That's actually pretty good.

From the looks of it, it could be just the CPU cooler needs a change.
