GPU still boosting at 90oC

[Rp7122]

I re-pasted my laptop as CPU temps were always high (CPU now maxes out 85^oc full load so happy with that), since then I have noticed that GPU temps are high mostly because they are boosting to 1750mhz on the 1060 even when the GPU is at 90^oc. Any recommendation to limit the boost when the GPU is close shutting down from the temps.

 

The Laptop is a GS63VR 7RF.

 

Thanks for your help.

Msi afterburner, and then drag the powerlimit to 75% or something like that?

Thanks for response but powerlimit is greyed out and can't seem to turn it on.

You can consider switching the thermal paste or You can decrease the power limit in a OC'ing tool.

Changed the GPU paste at same time as CPU (yesterday).

Undervolt the GPU. Don't underclock. No throttling is good despite high temp

The only other thing I could think of is creating a custom fan curve in afterburner so you would keep the temps down below 90C

You can change the maximum temperature in MSI Afterburner.

These are locked settings in most laptops

Thanks for the replies, tried the under-volting which seemed to lower temps a bit but is still thermal throttling.

 

Don't really have time now but will take apart and check everything as I don't recall GPU temps being this bad before I re-pasted.

I don't see any major throttling

But a GPU hitting 92 and throttling surely cant be good?

1060N running 1750MHz at 92C isn't throttling (there is minor throttling but normal in Pascal GPUs)

So am I overreacting then ?

 

Would it not shorten the life of the card for it to be running that hot (although will probably replace it in about a years time anyway).

 

Thanks,

Yes

Just in case anyone is interested, it now seems to be fixed with both GPU and CPU maxing out at 85^oC under full load.

 

Tried lots of things; another re-paste, massive under-clock to GPU, fans to 150% with it always still hitting 92^oC after a couple of minutes, then the other day it just started to work normally again after trying nothing for a few days. so all a bit odd.

 

I do however suspect there is an issue with the GPU cooling fan as there is a lot more air blowing out that side of the laptop, hopefully it wont happen again but if it does then will probably just replace the fans.

Why do this. Just undervolt the GPU with voltage frequency curve via MSI Afterburner

I was trying lots of things as everything was making it hit 92^oC.

 

Don't worry though have set the GPU to 0.912v at 1910MHz which is maxing out at 85^oC at full load. Also put fans back to the quiet auto.

 

But thanks for you help though.
