1060 Founders Edition overheating

[SomeTeenThatLovesComputers]

I notice in game my 1060 FE gets around 85C. Which probably explains why im getting bad fps spikes so frequently. I played Dishonored 2 on my laptop (with 1060 6GB) for 2 hours with no issue, at a constant 60FPS on High settings. I tried on my desktop and got 45-55FPS on medium. I can't find any other methods of cooling this thing and was wondering if someone else here knew about something.

70*C is normal

84C is the normal temperature target. If you want it to throttle less, I have a topic on undervolting:

it was 85 i meant. I got 70 on idle

[Samppbo]

i ahd a thermal throttling issue as well and my cpu was being used at 70+ percent all the time so  i reinstalled windows and now it works fine

Found the problem

 

But why would you replace a 1060 with a 1060? Just put an AIO on it

Don't listen to him, don't reinstall windows.

Yeah I put 70 because thats at idle. I meant to put the temp when its running Dishonored 2 (85)

Yeah I realize that. My computer has enough issues installing OSes as it is

There is no water cooling block for a 1060FE. Ive looked

[Majestic]

Have you looked at the topic I linked?

The standard nvidia kits work for any reference boards

The EK Fluid Gaming Kit should also work fine

If not just buy a GPU cooler like Morpheus 2 or Accelero 3/4

Oh. But even then I cant afford a new water cooling loop and have no place to put it

I read the topic but I dont understand it. If I want to buy anything I have to sell this whole thing

There's really no reason to replace your entire system most likely.

 

Just wait for the next gen GPU announcement and make sure to never buy a blower card again.

As I said, I have no money. There are bottlenecks in this system I cant find and the processor is starting to go. The part list I made has a 1060 with a higher clock speed and better cooling

Again, twitter generation.

 

You don't read the context and then complain you don't understand it. Clearly you need the entire context. Brew a cup of coffee, sit down and read it. I'm pretty sure if you follow those steps you can get a much higher sustained clockspeed. And while the pot is warm, also read my topic on poor performance:

 

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/894384-stutters-framedrops-lag-how-to-provide-detailed-information-with-your-bottleneck-question-as-well-as-a-few-solutions/

 

And let me know the results if you still doubt your system is performing worse than it should.

 

You can't expect people here to magically give you the secret sauce to more fps.

Turn the fan up. 1080’s don’t even do that if you use the fan.

Completely unnecessary, it's still a GTX 1060, there's no major difference in performance just run your FE card at 100% fan speed

If you're going to trade it in for anything get an RX 580 so you at least get free-sync savings.

What's your full current system?

I expected a fan replacement or something I can add to the card. To drag the heat out. Maybe re-applying thermal paste with a brand someone recommends

You can make the GPU obnoxiously loud to dissipate the excess heat. Or you can be actually smart and just make it produce less heat by undervolting.

Mate fine, if you don't want to put in the effort and throw money at your problem go ahead. Tag me when you want to try my topics and have specific questions.

Im never getting Radeon graphics until they improve
