Gtx 1660 temps

[Milky Karcher]

My gtx 1660 (msi ventus xs) has quiet high temps 75-79. I've only had it for a year and i run 4 intake fans in a silentiumPC armis tg3 case. Im kinda against voiding the 3 year warranty just replace the paste, i've considered splicing into my aio and buying a water block for like 90usd and calling it a day. Any suggestions or ideas on how to reduce  the temps?

p.s. i run quiet agressive fan curves on all my fans including gpu.

Around 75-79 Celsius is not too high to worry about, if you wanted to reduce the temps it might be a bit sketchy trying to water cool a gtx 1660. I would use some fan software to reduce the temps.

If on the product name it says compatible I guess it could work but the only thing is this waterblock is meant for actual water tubes not an aio. It would be possible with an aio but it would be harder than it looks.

if your in the us, (not sure about other countries) msi cant legally do anything if you rip the sticker, the warranty is still valid.

That is too high temp for 1660.

I have 1660 Ti and gets 65 C max.

Something is messed up with cooling there.

Turing cards are able to run 83C before they start to thermal throttle below the boost clock. They are rated safe up to that temperature through the warranty period. High 70s is obviously not ideal, but it's only a subjective concern - it does not mean that the cooling is "messed up."

I state my opinon and this is yours.

My statement is that is too high for such low transistor GPU who uses only one 6pin/pin.

Ventus cards are known for worse cooling solution out of all MSI cards.

How is it my opinion? I'm just stating the official spec. If MSI designed a garbage cooling solution, then just say the card sucks. Saying that the cooling is "messed up" impies that something has gone wrong. In reality, it's working as designed, which is not just, like, my opinion, man.
