Wanting to lower gpu clock to lower temps.

Temperatures you should somewhat worry about

83C' is a point where GPU boost won't give anything anymore and starts to slowly throttle as you go up (exponentially).

90C' is a point where the GPU hits it's such throttling you are better with IGPU.

95C' the computer shuts down. (although that is a fail-safe, it doesn't mean you just borked your GPU)

 

Temperatures that are perfectly fine

50-60-70-75C' is perfectly fine and dandy under any load. Play with fan curves within that range to get desired cooling and noise ratio.

80C' is fine when running 100% (synthetic benchmarks).

5-15C' above ambient when idle.

So my evga 1070 sc is rated at 1784 mhz I believe and runs at 1961mhz under load right now on GTA V. My temps are high 60s but I don't really need all that power/heat from the card atm. In fact, for whatever reason, it was running fine at high 50s/~1600mhz. I'd prefer this to the former and just need to know how to change this setting in evga precision without changing my fan curve.

60-70 is very good under load

:^) my 1070 does 63c under load at ~45% fanspeed

 

but it only turbos upto 1950mhz or so.. (gpuboost 3.0 = overclocking basically)

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Thanks. One other Q, does it OC to 1961 mhz because GTA needs it to to run my settings, or just because it can comfortably?
