1070 Overheat

[Sartaknight]

Hey guys,

I've had a 1070 MSI Aero for a while now and I'm starting to have some overheating problems. It doesnt thermal throttle, but I'd like to keep it steady. Anyway, is there anyway to undervolt/clock it with MSI Afterburner? If so, any tutorials or detailed help? 

Thank you guys!

 

P.D: Im new to Fortnite and I thought having the GPU on 83º  Epic Settings was very odd. This led me to my undervolting idea

Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)

94

 

 

card is not overheating , after 90 it might start throttling, aslong it doesnt throttle it aint overheating, coz it throttles when it is overheating :v

Okay, but should I worry? I dont like high temps!! I might watercool it someday

I wouldn't worry about too much, my GTX 780(overclocked, reference cooler) reaches about the same temperature if I turn the settings up a bit. Usually I play at 1080p Medium though due to the limitations of the card in this day and age.

Has it got hotter and hotter over time?

I cant really tell. Id say so yeah. It should be clean tho. Too bad its a blower style cooling system

It's within its limits but i'm like you, don't like high temps either.

 

Maybe try a little more aggressive fan curve via Afterburner before taking power away.

 

Note. My own 1070 sits at 68-70c epic settings on Fortnite, is an open air cooler though.

It was weird cause I saw Jay running the game without a GPU and I thought it was a low demanding game

Since its a blower style cooler those temps are expected you dont need to worry about it till you are in the 90s. Just make sure you keep it clean so temps dont get higher.

Could run the fan higher. I never run a blow card in the 70's until I got 1080's. One of them hit 76 I think but I blame that on sli.

drop your power limit to 90% or 92% in MSI afterburner and then add +100mhz to your core clock and +350mhz to your memory clock...it should outperform the stock settings and run cooler already.

If the driver crash or the system freeze while in a game you play, lower to +70mhz core and +250hz memory for example...rince and repeat.

 

You should also set up a manual fan curve similar to this:

 

60c 46%

65c 54%

70c 58%

75c 62%

80c 65%

85c 85%

90c 90%

 

something along those lines work well with a blower cooler...with a 90% power limit and extra core clocks.

if it's too loud tune the curve, but i would keep temps bellow 82c pretty much at all cost...add fans to your case if needed after that point.
