[URGENT] GPU Recommendation currently got RX480

[koji]

First of all here's how my build looks like.

 

I got Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 8GB. It works fine. I undervolted it. My problem only is that it reaches 72C. Which I do not like because it's kinda hot in my room and it's adding up to the heat.

 

Now I'm thinking to sell the RX 480 for $270. It's a pretty fair price here in my area. Actually I already have a potential buyer in 2 hours. Now, is there a card either GTX 1060 or RX480/580, that is either (black or white) that will give me temperatures below 65C? (No Gaming X please since it doesnt blend well with my build).

 

Please only suggest GPU. I dont have extra budget for getting a new case or changing the location of my PC. Thanks for every feedback I will get. I appreciate it.

Do you realize that the heat output (watts) is what is going to affect how it heats your room, and not the temperature it reaches equilibrium at?

Thank you for responding..

 

Sorry I do not quite get it. The PC is right next to me and I kinda feel the heat radiating from my case. And when I hold the case which is a think metal inwin 303, it's really hot.

I know 72C is fine since I've played with 80C cards before but this time I am looking for comfort.

I’m no expert, but I don’t think there are any 1060s or 480/580s that can run below 65c (full load) on air. I mean, maybe if you undervolt it and run the fans at full blast, maybe, but I really don’t see a point in selling the 480 you have now for something else.

What I mean is if a card consumes 200 W, it's putting 200 W of heat into your room.  That happens whether the chip is sitting at 5 C above ambient or 50.

So if you get another 480 or something else that can run at 65 instead of 72, well, that might be good for the chip, but if the card consumes the same amount of power, it will heat your room just as much.

Now without knowing more about the cards in question and the settings, etc. you can't know for sure if they will actually consume the same amount of power, but that's a separate issue.

correct me if i am wrong but those fans facing the camera now at the bottom

 

are they just facing a glass panel???

 

if they are then they are not doing any cooling if there are no vents

I see, thank you. I've read on the internet that Gaming X 1060 are a well designed card that can attain below 65C. Maybe that was wrong?

It has around 3.5 inches gap from the glass panel. They're exhausting the heat since I can feel the hot air going out on the other side when I go full load.

Thank you. But I've read that Sapphire RX 480 got bad design. And there are some with XFX GTR claiming they're getting significantly lower temperatures so this idea hit me.

[dragoon20005]

the early RX480s are similar to the R9 390/X in terms of heat output

 

the heating and stability issues have since been resolved in the refreshed RX 580s

 

but if you are want a AMD GPU that runs at 65 degrees is kinda far fetch

 

TDP is the reason why your room is heating up

 

not the GPU temps

 

if you want a cooler room

 

you either need to lower your CPU and GPU clocks or extreme cases undervolt your computer

I mean, my Fury can attain below 65 if I crank the fans up.  Tbh, I'm not sure why you're so focused on the core temp.  Sure, lower is better, but ever card is designed to handle a certain range and low 70s are fine for any of them.  What is the goal, to reduce the heat in your room?  If so, you want the most efficient card, which, coincidentally, is probably the 1060 anyway, but that should be the focus
