Are temps too high?

[Coolart1]

Hello! I've got a Zotac GTX 1060 3gb mini (Soon to be replaced by an RTX 3060Ti ), and I was always wondering if my temps were fine. Since my Graphics Card has a single fan.

Is 35 degrees idle bad? And at max load is 82 okay?

Thanks a bunch.

35c idle is fine, really any temp for idle is fine. My 5700xt idles at 65. What did you use as your max load benchmark?

I use GTA 5.. Yep, a little anti-climactic but yeah. That's how I benchmark performance. Since GPU Usage is 99%.

82 is high but nothing major. Out of curiosity, what case do you have and what are the temperatures if you take off the side panel?

Case is an Asus G11CD (yes, it's a prebuilt. And I modified it). I don't know about remove the side but I'll try later today. Not many coolers inside the case. Only 1 I believe that

cools the entire case.

Yeah I wouldn't even bother trying that. If you are concerned about temps, you could potentially swap out the case but you would have to check if the motherboard is standard size.

I have that exact same card, and sadly I don't know what the baseline is. My daughter uses it and hasn't complained. I would wager it being on the hotter end of the spectrum isn't unusual, given it's ITX form factor.

Seems in this test they got 80, which probably means yours is working within expected levels.

 

As far as cooling capability...the heatsink on there looks about even with an Intel stock cooler. I'd say it's probably doing quite well given the conditions, LOL.
