gpu max temp

[Momoe]

Hi my gpu is a rtx 3060 ti and my max temp is 85° on elden ring,i maybe sound dumb but i just wanted to know if this is a correct temp and if yes wath is the max acceptable temp for my gpu

85° is too hot for a gpu if you are talking about the CORE gpu

If your GPU (or any for that matter) reaches 85C without any overclocking in any game, then there's something wrong with it. It's still "safe" if you're worried about that, but it shouldn't be that hot. Lower temps are always better for your components and a 3060Ti should be no higher than 75C. In fact, I got a 3090 and it doesn't higher than 70C.

I had a GPU once that reached those temps, but it turned out one of the fans broke. So that can be one reason.

Hi thanks for the awnser do you know how i can see if all of my fans are working? because i hear the sound of it

85C is within acceptable limits, but whether or not this is "normal" depends on the exact make and model and whether this is the laptop or desktop version.

Generally speaking, none of your hardware should ever go above 70C in a properly built desktop PC. Both CPUs and GPUs usually start throttling at around 80C anyway, meaning your performance is tanking. Take it to a shop if you're not sure what's wrong. Maybe they can recommend a better case with sufficient airflow.

However, if it's a laptop, then yeah it's "normal", and that's why gaming laptops are such a meme.

thanks,im on a desktop and my fans seems to be working,the desktop i bought was prebuilt but i eventually changed the gpu one year ago so maybe its because of the case.

try undervolting. It decreased my temp by around 5 degrees and the fans are much quieter under usage.

What are your other temps, CPU, RAM even your SSDs. If the case is the issue then they will be higher than average as well. I assume the GPU you have now was a brand new one? What's the full name of the GPU if its not the founders edition?

my cpu temp is 82°(im using an app to see the temp but i dont really understand it but in my cpu they say the "package" is at 82°) my SSD is at 55° ,for my ram temp i cant see it sorry .i dont really know wath you mean by gpu full name and founders edition but my gpu is an nvdia geforce rtx 3060 ti .(btw sorry for awnsering so late)

A lot of people giving false information in this thread but to be clear a GPU can safely operate at 85c. The max safe operating temp is usually somewhere in the 90s before the card starts to throttle itself although that varies by manufacturer and their bios settings.

How long have you had it? Use compressed air to blow the dust out of the heatsinks, it's probably just needing a clean.

Change the GPU thermal paste and clean your PC this should enough.

[The Icecream Snowman]

GPUs only have air cooling to the inside of your case. It doesn't matter how good your thermal paste is, if your case has insufficient ventilation, you'll barbecue to entire machine.

There are loads of good cooling cases available, and there are loads of really bad ones. Heat is what will eventually kill your PC, and the case is the most important part of your cooling system.

[Bandy]

OP, many GPU manufactures try to make their GPU's silent and so fan profile is not aggressive enough to cool the card and you end up with thermal throttling (look it up). Set your own aggressive fan profile in client-side GPU driver\software like MSI afterburner or Firestorm, or equivalent.

Iam running the same card on this setup atm, which never really leaves the 65-72 range. I assume its a cooling issue is it?
