Components running a bit warm

[_Chaotic_]

So, ever since I rebuilt my computer, I've noticed my computer has been running a bit on the warmer side on idle. I didn't think much of it because I thought my fans were off when I was idle. However more recently, I decided to check out NZXT cam software. and noticed my fan curve was reset and my temps were still just as bad. Basically, my gtx 980 ti g1 gaming edition is running at 60 c on idle, with the fans at 40%, which I don't think they should be that high, but can anyone tell me what could be wrong if anything is wrong.

 

Additional Information:

 

Case: Fractal Design R5

 

Fan setup: 2 intake in the front, 1 intake in the bottom, 2 outtake through my top mounted radiator, 1 rear mounted outtake fan

 

GPU load on idle is at 2-3%

 

CPU temp is at 38 c on idle

 

GPU has been overclocked by 110 mhz on the core clock, and 150 on the memory and if the card runs at 90% or higher fans are set to max, thankfully the card only goes up to about 70 c

 

If you need anymore information, let me know.

This is perfectly normal. Your GPU is designed to operate under 100 degrees C.

You're fine and don't need to change anything

Let's be more reasonable and say 85. I've seen my 560Ti become unstable at 90 degrees on an OC that is perfectly stable at 85.

Ok, I was just curious because my gtx 970 ftw never went above 40 c on idle. It's also quite loud when it does go up to 100% fan speed, is their anyone that owns this particular card, that knows of a good fan curve for it?

70c is a bit on the low side, try setting the fans to do 66% at 70 and ramp up to 100% at 80. Keep the temperature target at 83 so GPU boost doesn't throttle

Somewhere in the 65% range at 70C and 80-90 at 80C should do you fine. Idle temps seem a little high but the fans might be spinning really slow at 30%, I don't know. As long as your GPU doesn't really go over 85 I wouldn't be worried

Ok, I will take a look at that, thank you guys so much for all the help!
