GPU | Overheating

[RoscoPT]

Hey everyone!

 

I've recently made a build, and I can't really use the best of my pc due to my gpu overheating, I lower the graphics so the gpu doesnt get too hot, maybe its my fans? the cable management inside isnt too messy, I made sure to leave barely any hanging cables inside.

Every other temp is reasonable "safe", cpu going max going till 68-70Cº, but for example in ARK Evolve everything on medium gpu going toward 71/72Cº but if I change to high can't play without being paranoid that my GPU will burn.

The two fans are in front of the case, im not sure if they're pulling or putting air inside, and which way is it better.

 

I'm really paranoid that I will make my pc blow due to extreme heat, my bedroom doesn't really help either, specially in summer temps going till 40Cº outside and inside could be 30/34Cº

What's your GPU usage under load (You can check using apps like MSI Afterburner)?

That's not hot, my card runs at 87C at stock on hot days during summer

Those aren't bad temps at all. Bad temps would be 90 degrees or more.

its not going to burn until 105c+

you can always try undervolting.

Having the fans on the front as intake is better. It'll push fresh air onto the graphics card and into the case in general. It's easy to find out what way they spin, just open your case and put your finger on the fan hub (not in the blades, mind you). It'll slow down from the friction and you'll see what direction it spins. You probably don't need to worry about it because if they came pre installed, they're gonna be oriented as intake. 

70 degrees is nothing, just staying below 80 is considered safe. 85 isn't even that risky.

Your case has no airflow, just take off the front panel or the side panel, preferably both

Those temperatures are fine. My 1080 runs about that temperature and my case has decent air flow. Keep in mind that changing graphics settings isn't going to affect temperature. As you can see, your GPU is at 99% load at whatever settings were being used, which is a good thing. Whether its ultra settings at 70fps, or medium settings at 100fps, your GPU is still at 100% load as it should be and temperatures will be the same.

Alright thank you everyone, even tho I can play on max settings due to GPU overheating, I prefer to be on a safe temperature and play on lower settings.

If it hovers and stays on 72C is actually normal, 80 is high 90 is really high and it can throttle.

Do you experience trhottling or just you're scared of the 72C ?

I'm just scared of the 72Cº yesterday peaked at 75Cº on the same settings, I'm scared because in early summer over my town the temperatures can go high till 41Cº and my ambient temperature in the room of computer like I mentioned can go from 30 to 34.

I know it sounds like 70 is a lot but your GPU will be able to take it normally, start worrying if it hits 85C. Then you may consider changing the Thermal paste

well the thing is, the gpu is 2 weeks old, shouldnt be needing to change the thermal paste. But thank you hopefully everything goes well only reaching 75 max(many people already told me).
