asus strix producing heat

[noodlecare]

is it normal for asus strix 970 to produce a lot of heat?

[noodlecare]

especially around backplate

[79wjd]

Yes? Under full load the GPU core can easily get into the 80c range (and will probably idle around 30-40c).

[Virtual01]

That's what components do. They get hot.

[noodlecare]

ok thank you so much

[_ASSASSIN_]

it would be nice to quantify what you qualify as "a lot of heat".

Typically you can do this through empirical measurements, such as temperature readings.

[noodlecare]

cause it is the most heat producing component in my system

[noodlecare]

well gpu isn't overheating, but when you touch window panel on h440 you feel the heat. if you take the panel off and you put your hand in you feel it really warm

Would probably be the same for every gaming machine in existence

Usually when people ask this, they are unfamiliar with how hot components get to the touch.

You've got nothing to worry about. Just check your system temps every now and then with HWMonitor or something similar.

well h440 is a hot case b/c of the sound dampening material

yeah thats normal

 

if you have more case airflow it wont feel so hot

Be careful when posting - try to contain as much information as possible in one post. This isn't Instant Messaging - it's a forum.

After you created the thread, you posted something else saying "especially the backplate."  And then later, you're talking about how much heat it's producing and then state in another post that it's not overheating...etc.

 

I'm not saying you did anything wrong at this point, but I don't want anyone getting in the habit of just posting. I want as much information as possible contained in a single post. If another one doesn't need to be created in order to further an idea, I'd rather not see another one created.

Sorry this is mostly off-topic, but is that a custom desk you have made there in your avatar picture? It looks amazing and have been thinking about making something similar myself, any chance you could email me the sketchup model/s?

In an attempt to cut back on unnecessary forum posts you have now added four (well, now five) extra posts that otherwise would not have existed thereby making the thread 35% longer than it needed to be
