1070 Benchmarks + temp help :s

IAmAkiro · March 13, 2017

Hello I have an 1070 card, I've earlier asked how to clean it, that's currently not my issue now, it's more a wondering question, and I know people will laugh but I'd like to know more at this point.

1. I know my card is getting dusty, but it keeps around 63-65 degress

Questions are.

After 3 Heavens Benchmark Ultra, Extreme 8x i get 63-64 degress, i find that suitable since it's under what Guru3D reviewed, but I am thinking. After those 3 runs, let's say i open one of the newer really demanding games, and max it out at 1920x1080, will my card raise in temps.

I have this in some games:

Dota 2 - It goes around 53-57

Dead by Daylight Ultra : 54-58

Heavens 60-64

I know my CPU doesn't Work that much when I am using Heavens, also again at what point should I concider my new card will be throttle it's an Asus Rog Strix 1070 OC Edition (It's not clocked more than when I got it)

Reason I ask it is because if i am getting around 55% fanspeed it will start to noise up my dorm room, and I like the silence from my card tbh.

Other reason: my 3 year old GTX 680 from Point of View in those games it was:

Dota 2 65-70, when dusted 70-75

Dead by Daylight Low: 75-80 Ultra 80-95

I don't know why my 680 got to hot, it wasn't that dusted (Can it be because it was getting old and the game Dead by daylight, was too demanding) the minimum card for the game is a GTX 460, but mine was still a damm jet when i played the game. (Didn't Wonder If I cleaned my GPU and swapped paste It could keep it cool again or?)

Your temps are fine. If you want more quietness you can lower your fan speed to ~ 40-45% or so for the sake of a bit higher temperatures. If you want (near) complete silence, watercooling would be a good option. Your GPU getting higher temps by maxing out games is normal as you are putting more stress on your GPU.

Also if i compare the temps from Heavens to a game like BF1 Ultra 1920x1080

Just get it to where your comfortable with some tweaks as stated.

Lowering a fan curve 4-5% and play games and if temps only climb 1-2*c and its audibly quieter then that can be what your after.

Depends on manufacturers original profile vs heat output vs acoustics they chose for release... but you should be able to swing it in favor of more silence for little temp raises.
