CPU OVERHEATING

[Emmo]

Hi guys, 
I've recently buy a pny xlr8 3070 Ti.

The gpu is perfectly fine but my 5600x is overheating.

I've put my gpu in a meshify s2 case with a noctua nh-d15s .

GPU temps are 70 degrees while gaming, cpu 75.

In cpu only stress tests cpu reaches only 60 degrees (idles at 45)! 

What can I do to reduce the cpu heat?

P.S. I've already set an aggressive  fan curve.

60c isn't overheating under a stress test, it's actually fine. 

 

What cooler do you have? Case fans? Case?

Those temps aren't so bad for air cooled system as long as either the gpu or cpu dont hit 90-100 degrees then your system will be fine but you might find it a bit annoying having a space heater on the desk but if you really want to lower the heat on the CPU i would buy an AIO and for the gpu you can't really do anything unless if you get better airflow or watercool the system down the line.

Lmao

 

come back once your cpu or gpu are actually getting hot, 75c is quite good for cpu and gpu temps

 

Temps are only a concern once you reach 85c or 95c

I've a noctua nh-d15s ,meshify s2 case and default case vents (added one old vent to the cooler and one to the upper to check i f it's the airflow) but nothing

The gpu is actually cooler than the cpu itself, in idle and in games.

Yes, but actually with my old gpu (gtx 1070 blower) my cpu reaches only 62 degrees, now it's getting incredibly hotter

Your numbers are perfectly fine and safe, if you want to improve them, you probably need to improve your case cooling more than anything else.

So you say it's perfectly normal that my cpu reaches 80 deg while gaming and gpu only 70? Even with a beast like nh-d15s?

What's normal is highly dependant on your specific setup, ambient temperature, case airflow so really there isn't a "normal" but your temps are nothing to worry about. You're safe but there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve your temps.

 

Any chance of a photo of your case with case fans in view please?

yes since its air cooled if it was an AIO then i would question the AIO's health

  Upgrading from a 1070 to a 3070 is quite an upgrade. Depending on the game it's possible the 1070 was holding your CPU back in graphically intense moments. The 3070 is able to process more frames per second and hence the CPU can work harder to send more frames per second. Higher load = higher temps.

GPU and CPU temperature aren't really related to each other. They do their own thing, have different power consumption, have their own coolers and are completely different beasts so of course their temperatures are different. The max temp for that chip is 95 C according to AMD. 70-80 C under load is nothing to worry about really.

There is a pic of my setup.

However I want to thank every one that is actually helping me, yor're really awesome.

Maybe I could consider give gpu back and try to take a 6800 in amd drops in case.

P.S. Yes I've got a pretty high cpu usage during games but I think 80 deg is too hot for 60 % of CPU .
During prime 95 test cpu hits only 61 deg.

I wouldn't switch the GPU, you're pretty privilaged to have a 3070! I'd stay with nVidia for DLSS alone.

 

I'd suggest upgrading case fans to all Noctua high performers, and replacing the thermal paste with thermal grizzly.

 

I think my brother has this case, if so, you can also add a couple of intakes at the bottom which will blow air directly on the GPU, which will no doubt improve your situation.

Well yes, I've tried so hard to get one an rtx 3000 and honestly having a bad airflow case wasn't what I expected after that research.
But I also think that spending a lot of money taking a lot of fans after spending a lot for a gpu is just a waste of money.

Maybe it's just this custom that overheats my case?

[cacoe]

Well as stated, it isn't overheating and everything is actually fine. Things are on the warmer side but it's not a problem.

 

Think about it like this, when you're playing a game, do you care about the framerate or the temp?

 

I'm going to wager the framerate and although temps can affect the framerate due to throttling, you won't be throttling and everything is good.

Well yes, but I can't say that they are pretty good temps, compared to my 1070 blower .
The gpu itself has good temps but doesn't feel good to me to ruin cpu temps

You can see my specs below and I have water cooling, under prolonged CPU stress tests I hit 65C on my CPU and I have 7 case fans for intake and outlet.

 

It obviously isn't apples to apples, yours is newer gen, mine has more cores but still, other than going customer water loop, you couldn't get much better cooling than I have right now other than buying an open case, 60-70c is fine and I agree that your CPU was likely previously bottlenecked by the 1070 so it only stands to reason, that if the bottleneck was removed, CPU utilisation has gone up during gaming, thus increasing the heat, not to forget that the GPU also produces more heat too.

Yes, surely there was a bottleneck, currently I'm jsut testing the old gpu and I'm seeing that the idle temps are more or less the same.
Maybe I'm just exagerating, I come from an i7 4770k which never reaches temps above 70 deg.

You went from having no GPU exhausting into your pc case (blower fan) to having a very powerful card exhausting inside your case, your internal temp are gonna go up. Anyway, those temps are fine.
