Any cooling recommendations?

No worries... gpus are hot. 70C is very decent.

During renders in Blender, my RTX 3070 FE GPU reaches above 70°C when running Octane Renderer for over an hour or so. I left my PC on overnight feeling kind of nervous. I touched the backplate and it was burning hot. It doesn't seem normal, to me at least, given the majority of the backplate is plastic and not metal, because if it was then it would short circuit, but I don't know. Maybe it's the thermal pads?

 

Are there any alternatives, or is this just a normal thing?

70c under load is cool, almost cold.  My 1080Ti hits 84-85c gaming.

 

if touching your components is a way to tell if normal or not... you're going to need a lot of burn cream /smh

 

Edit:  What's that fan hanging off the ass end of your machine?

70 degrees celcius is pretty good for under load, it seems hot for humans (like, imagine if our thermommeters said that lmao) but for a gpu its fine.

my signiture was cool, but its a lie now

Idk I just put it there because there was loads of heat coming from the io of the gpu... I thought that would do something and it lowered it down but 2° or so.
