RTX3070 goes to above 100 Celcius!!!!

[raikacchi]

Hi, been playing now and my temp of the video card goes above 100 degrees celcius and shuts down.
Buddy of mine has 3060 and plays everything on Ultra with 60 degrees.

Pleas advise T_T

Yeah, that's got nothing to do with the game.

Something's up with the setup. It's entirely expected of a GPU to be able to run for hours at 100% load at stable temperature. In fact that's the entire point of stress and stability testing GPUs.

what model of the 3070 are you using? each brand has their own cooling solution, and different tiers of quality for the cards so that may also be part of the issue.

What difference does it make if its the 'game' or the 'hardware' responsible for killing the GPU if the game makes it run at unlimited FPS and the hardware wasn't made correctly to stop it from burning out once such an order was given to the GPU?

The player still loses their GPU either way and has to spend months with return warranties and buying a 2nd GPU in the meantime

Seems some people want to be technically correct more than what is reasonable to ensure that players don't suffer loss that could cost them 1000's of dollars

EVGA to blame in the past? Sure
But it was New World's uncapped FPS driving the card that triggered the meltdown they forgot to configure against
Without New World doing what it did, EVGA cards would not have melted the way they did
Either way players lost their cards in the past to it, regardless of chicken and the egg of whose to blame

Telling players to be safe with VSYNC and capped FPS until they are sure their cards won't die (regardless if its game's triggering unlimited FPS or card manufacturers not setting up configurations to prevent this from happening) is good for everyone

Nothing to worry about tbh.

We're talking about a GPU (not CPU) here. GPUs can take way more heat than CPUs and also throttle much later (at higher °C than CPUs) in general.

Many modern GPUs can reach even higher temps than that (especially during a boost / turbo "phase"). They automatically overclock themself until they hit a certain temp and only then start to throttle (way more aggressive than a CPU does). It can sometimes take some time until the temperature (and boost) really stabilze.

Idk when or how long you have monitored it, but there is a chance that you just looked on a cold GPU during a boost.

If you still get 100°C after ~30min (of load), than its probably just "crappy" cooling on the GPU.

However:
TL;DR:

100°C is no problem for your GPU. Just make sure that it doesn't get much worse ^^

Dunno why you falsely believe 100c is good. It's a possible sign the cooler is failing.

Many nvidia GPU's thermal throttle at 84C to reduce temps, so if the GPU is still reaching 100C something is seriously wrong,

Also, high temps in the case will contribute to CPU thermal throttling as the temperature increases.

I would recommend for the OP it disregard your advice, I would take out the GPU and use an electric air blower to clean it out thoroughly and try again.

Using gigabyte and whenever there is an update I always perform a clean install. To ensure it doesn't corrupt or bug out prior installed versions.

I capped mine at 60fps on laptop and its sitting around 57c maxxed @1080p

[BuNNy]

Block fps at 90 and put cpu at 70% I lower the temperature 15 20 and play at the same performance

[Rivaldman]

My 3070, ultra in 1080p, won't go above 65C.

Your cooling system is failing. This is your own PC's problem, not the game's problem. REPLACE YOUR COOLING IMMEDIATELY AND STOP DOING THINGS THAT DO 100% GPU USAGE OR YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR COMPONENTS PERMANENTLY.

p.s. my 3090 never goes above 75c, when it does i start dusting out/checking cooling components to get it back down.
