RTX 2060 Temp
i know this game is heavy both cpu and gpu, but why my rtx 2060 temp raising to 70+ even tho i set everything to low and cap the fps to 60, last time i play i can set the graphic settings to medium high,

WHAT THE SIGMA? Mar 27, 2024 @ 12:10am 
many factors though. When was the last time you cleaned it? and when was the last time the thermal paste was replaced? You can also add in what kind of thermal paste was used? If you have background apps running that uses GPU power that can contribute in high temps. I'm running an RX 6700 XT at ultra settings, my temps go 65-75 on a six fan case with the 3 intake fans going 1500 RPM, also note one crucial factor is the temperature of your environment, the temperature around me is usually 35 to 39 degrees celsius which is really hot, and I only rely on a single electric fan to bring air inside the room and to cool me down. Another factor is updating the drivers of your GPU and possibly the OS

According to the spec sheet on Nvidia the Maximum GPU Temperature is 88c. So sounds pretty normal to me.

Have you changed the thermal paste of this GPU at least once since its release and the day you bought it? This card is back from 2019, so its thermal paste is already 5 years old. From what I've heard, it is advised to change your thermal paste each 3-5 years. 7 years is a "must do".

The newest patch increased "crowd spawn" in the cities, so you might want to test if that only happens inside the city.

Your hardware is subpar, and is a bit too close to minimal requirement, so expect your GPU huffing under the load.

Yeah temps in the 70 are fine, I honestly wouldn't worry about it. This is to be expected on demanding titles.

For instance, on most games my 6900XT doesn't breach 70 degrees. But in Cyberpunk 2077 I'll see it reach 73, which is still FAR from its temp limit. Hell, most GPUs can run fine until they reach 90 degress, and at that point they'll start to thermal throttle.

70 is not a concern, start to worry if you reach 85+ on your 2060

i played cod mw 2019 on 90°C for a while .... my dumb ass forgot to plug gpu fan into mb -my gpu still runs like nothing happened-but yeah .... 70°C is normal temp

It's a feature, not a bug.

The kind people at nVidia decided that their GPU's might aswell serve a dual function as a space heater. It's just plain added value.

Why would you plug your GPU fan into your motherboard? Or are you running a liquid loop?

whoa guys
thanks for all the reply, i see now, its a normal temp for this game :)

Your CPU & GPU can run at 100% all the time, just don't go above 85°C (start to degrade lifespan, above 100 is damage).

Thermal throttle will happen at 85 on NV GPUs (unless over ridden with something like Afterburner), and thermal shutdown will occur at ~93.

You're fine, OP.

Check the manuals on undervolting, bro. :spacehamster:

70C on air is nothing. This game has my 4080 running at 60C+ on a custom water loop.
