gigabyte rtx 3060 ti gaming oc (LHR) temperatures too high

[DeeFAULT]

Recently bought a used gigabyte rtx 3060 ti gaming oc rev 1.0, since today noticed that the fans running too loud, so i checked the temps and the fans speed

while on full load:

gpu temp maxed at 78C

fans maxed at 2860rpm / 90%

 

idle:

temp maxed at 50C

fans at 1100rpm sometimes 0

 

my case has 3 intakes and one exhaust

 

given that the room temp is a little high  at 30C

is my temps are too high?

did i somehow messed up the fan curve?

what should i do?

Is it by any chance a Gigabyte Eagle card? I have the rev. 2 and the fan curve on that card is a joke. 0% up to 50C and 90% from 51C. So the fan keeps turning on and off rapidly at 50C as the cards keeps getting warm and then immediately cool as the fans turn on. I had to setup my own fan curve where the fan run at 60% all the time (which is not audible and setting lesser value does not work at all). 78C is fine at 30C room temp, you can lower it with undervolting.

no my card is gaming oc pro, i think it's LHR by the way if that has anything to do with the temps

i know 78 is fine for a mid range gpu but fans are at 90%, in the reviews temps maxed at like 67C

i wanna know if anything is wrong with the card, needs a repast or fan curve reset or something

78C isn't terrible.  It's a bit on the warm side, but given your room is 30c, that's gonna raise the temps a fair bit.

 

I don't think you're gonna do much better without a ton of work.

You can't compare the temp with any other card, especially from reviews. Your room temp is at 30C so if the reviewer had literally YOURS same card tested at 20C it would be 10C lower for them.

But the temp differs from card to card as well. It's perfectly normal, the temp is fine. Yes, 90% is a lot, but try to lower it and see if the temp goes up, sometimes it barely makes a difference because of bad contact of the card with a cooler that is causing the issue.

so the solution might be changing the thermal past

You can try. But as I said before. You may get better results with just undervolting with MSI Afterburner. I was able to get my card to 950mV at 2010MHz-2025MHz.

ok just noticed that gpu clock at idle is 1770 which is the boost clock for this card is this normal?

Do not void the warranty, the paste should be fine for as long as the warranty is valid.

Also, check if there are vbios updates for your card. 

 

What are the rest of the specs?

78C is completely fine. You can probably adjust the fan curve so that the fan stays off until it hits 60C so that idle stays mostly silent, and maybe even slightly adjust the max fan speed down slightly as you actually have a little bit of headroom. You could get away with having the GPU running at 80C and slightly lower fan speed.

Sometimes the idle clock get stuck because there is some process going on in the background. Usually when this happens it's Shadowplay causing if you have it set to record last X minutes.
