gtx 1070 temp

[Wolfskie]

Hello,

 

I've been playing ME:A lately, doing a new game+ a few months after beating the game and i noticed my GPU being really loud, just for the heck of it i loaded up msi afterburer to track the temperature.

after a session of about an hour the GPU reach >90C with peaks at 100C... is that normal? is the software misreading something? is there a more reliable measuring software?

i didn't really notice any throttling.. that game isn't 100% smooth at 1440p with high setting anyway and there wasn't any stuttering or something weird as i was playing.

the idle temp is 43C-ish

 

should i be worried about this? (..i guess some cleaning wouldn't hurt, though i clean the case filters regularly)

 

any and all responses would be greatly appreciated.

my rig is in my profile.

if your card still has warranty, send it back. If you touched anything they could claim that you void your warranty.

i haven't done anything to the card aside from installing it in the PC and i bought it around a year ago, so i still have 2 years of warranty.

what do you think is faulty with it?

No this is not normal. Did you overclock the GPU? And what are the fan speeds during load? Undo any fan curves or overclocks. Otherwise ship it back for a replacement. Perhaps a broken fan/bearing preventing it from cooling it efficient. Hard to tell. Maybe a load of dust in the card itself.

 

You could use Speedfan, gpu-z or CAM to monitor the temperatures. But 90C is really too hot for a pascal card. Even the idle sounds to high.

Did you buy it new or used? 

 

Also, please quote us so we know you've replied.

@sun2

i live in a hot country, the ambient temp in my room can reach 30C sometimes, so i didn't really pay any attention to the 43C idle..

@Abdul201588

i bought it new.

 

i'll do a more thorough check later today (after i get back from work) and see what i should do.

Thanks for the responses folks.

What are you CPU temps while gaming? If they are higher too, then probably a fan of your case died?

Ok then that might be the cause of things. Get a air can/compressor to blow out some dust out of the card to be sure. Perhaps look into the things other people mentioned, maybe even got a replacement. But you might wanna invest in some cooling for performance, temperature and noise wise. You wanna aim for temperatures below under 85C. But i can imagine that being hard with those ambient temps.

 

Anyway good luck!

alright, so, possibly false alarm, though i haven't tested all scenarios.

 

root ambient temp is 29C, cpu and gpu idle at the beginning was ~40C

running furmark stress test + prime95 small fft for about an hour and a half, i figure that's enough for a basic test

cpu max was 86C, gpu max was 75C - tested with speedfan, gpuz & CAM

gpu core clock started close to 1800mhz, when i stopped it was 1700~1740mhz but i figure it's negligible.

cpu core clock was at 3700mhz.

no throttling anywhere as far as i can tell.

all case fans are antec and have a slow and fast spinning switch, all were on slow (2 intake in the front, 2 exhaust).

both gpu fans were spinning and according to gpu-z did not exceed 55% speed.

 

all-in-all, super strange.

did i misread msi afterburner? - i did not even open it this time...

 

i'll hop into ME:A for now, to see if it's the trigger.

 

edit: ME:A is also fine, i must've something for another in the afterburner...

Thanks for the assist everyone.
