Posted October 30, 2016 So i bought a new gtx 1060 and after installing it in my alienware x51 case it has really high temperatures even though it has a smaller tdp than the previous card. Also it doesn't have a blower style cooler like the previous one. specs: i7 4790 16gb ram 350w psu alienware x51 r2 case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 30, 2016 Author what would you suggest i should do? Also I forgot to add that the gpu still goes to 1911 mhz when gaming and stays at the temperature limit i have set. And it doesn't matter if it's 83 or 75 degrees, performs the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 30, 2016 i have the 3Gb EVGA GTX 1060 and it has one fan and it idles at 60 and I think it throttles too much. I am considering putting an extra fan blowing on it ☼ ψ ︿_____︿_ψ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 30, 2016 Dumb question, but there's no protective wrapping on the fans or anything like that, right? And the fans are spinning? What temperature would you consider really high? Is it throttling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
