g1 980 heating up

[RyeIII]

my setup is an ITX with a g1 gtx 980, yes it has some pretty tight space between the GPU and the power supply shroud.

before my max temps are 70c but recently its peaking at 78-79c while playing overwatch at epic settings fps locked at 70fps.

I have a 200mm intake in front and using slightly aggressive fan curves on all fans including the GPU.

I already replaced the thermal paste on my 980.

Later I will try to play on an open test bench to see if its the position of the card with the psu shroud.

any suggestion to solve this?will placing a 2x120mm or 2x140mm intake will solve this?

 

PS: gpu is running at stock frequency

Is your gpu a blower style? (i don't think so) I think your GPU is recirculating air. You should try using some smoke to see what your airflow is like

its a G1 gtx 980 with 3 fans and the case is Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX

Sounds like poor airflow. Need to get the hot air out faster. 

 

Try everything on max instead of oven like fam curves.
