GPU is HAWT

[Milkhaver69]

My Radeon RX 580 XXX runs  v e r y  hot (85+ while playing Sea of Thieves or Cold War) and I don't know what to do to help it. I just tried undervolting, but even the slightest reduce in voltage made games run choppy and didn't help all that much with my thermals. Did I do it wrong? Should I add another fan? If so, intake or exhaust? I currently have two intake and two exhaust fans.

The MB320L Isn't that great of a case. Temps look a little high but not horrible for the circumstance.

open up your side panel while it's running, see if temps drop by a lot

could be insufficient case airflow if it drops a lot

When I do that, it reduces temps by like 3-5 degrees. I'd rather not have to take the panel off constantly.

just for a test, not telling you to do it permanently

well 3-5c drop is fine, meaning the case airflow isnt that bad

That's high, but not terrible.

 

The real question is if it's a blower or not.

That's decent for a blower, bad for a non blower.

If I adjusted my fan curve, that would obviously help and just be a bit louder, yeah? Or is there a Max RPM I should try to avoid, or is it safe to run my fans at 2200+ rpm?

I usually have a pretty straight curve with it at 0c =0rpm and 80c= max rpm. But that's my card and your mialagr may vary
