Stock GPU overheating

[BreadPug]

Hi guys,

I was looking into overclocking my GPU with MSI Afterburner and Kombustor and I ran a quick test at stock settings and I'm seeing that my GPU temps are sitting quite high. I ran it for about 10 minutes and my peak temp was 84*C. I had the fan speed set on auto and it was hovering at around 80% and I know that they're spinning correctly because I can hear it when I crank them up to 100% manually.

The Corsair case fan is one of my intake fans and the other three fans in the case are stock fans from an NZXT Phantom 410 case. 2 120mm intake fans at the front, 1 120mm exhaust fan at the back, and 1 140mm exhaust fan at the top. All my case fans are set to maximum speed via BIOS.

my 780Ti goes into the 80's sometimes... but that's with very high load in a warm room. normally it's somewhere in the 70's while gaming.

Your case doesn't have any airflow. Put the top fan to intake as well as the rear fan
 

Or take off the front panel and put your fans there.

Would have highly suggested a case with better airflow.

You got your answer here! And maybe (if u know how just watch a yt vid) replace the thermal paste on the gpu. That is a really good thing to do)

So you suggest I have no exhaust fans in my PC?

1. Set a custom fan curve for your GPU in Afterburner.

Set 100% at 75C.

 

2. Take off front of case.

 

I ran Kombustor for a while with the front panel on and off with the GPU fan speed set at 100% default. The result was about a 6*C difference. ~75* with panel off and ~81* with the panel on.

You should end up with positive pressure and it'll exhaust itself. Could also zip tie a fan to the empty PCI-e brackets under your GPU for more intake for your GPU

something like this, or if you bought everything recently could always return the case for like a Focus G at the same price.
