GPU running hot?

[Duninn]

S0 I was observing with iCUE while playing, and that says my GPU is hitting 95C, least for sensor 2 and 3 (no clue what they refer to, sensor one is about 10c less). Any ideas?

Are you by any chance running with no frame cap? Cause your card (According to google.) throttles at 88c.

could try disabling ddgi in the config file to see if that makes any difference (was causing my gpu to have higher temps).

Alternatively I would recommend turning down your settings maybe or capping framerate at 60.

Usually multiple sensors may indicate hotspot temperatures, which is likely due to the 10c difference (but that's only a guess on my part and I could be wrong since I use AMD equipment).

One thing you need to remember is that one of the icue sensors will be for the vram temp. For instance my 3080 runs at around 73c but the vram tends to peak at 90c. Vram saftey temps tend to be 100-115c and if it goes over your card will reduce the power limit untill the temps are safe.

This.

In iCUE, sensor 1 is usually the only temp you should need to worry about. The others are for VRAM.

I am, should I cap it to 60?

running uncapped lets a gpu spit out more frames than most monitors can display causes gpus to run hot faster

i set mine to 120 and v-sync on

cpu 60c gpu 79c

Try it and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you, vram is around 95C, atm I have core at 83c

limit the framerate. 95 degrees is perfectly fine for a 2070 super per the specs. it won't affect anything running that hot, but if it bothers you limit it via the nvidia control panel.

Everyone here is 100% wrong. I have a 2070 super and I recently fixed my video card.

The thermal paste on the video card was either garbage or not applied correctly at manufacturing. Buy new thermal paste, look up a video on how to open your video card and clean up whatever is on there with alcohol (90% or higher if you can). Then re-apply thermal and put it back together.

My thermals went from 81c+ to a constant 60c no matter what is happening. This game has nothing to do with the 2070 super acting like it's insane.

If you ignore this problem your 2070 won't last much longer at those temperatures.

Here's the Gallery of me opening the 2070 super, this is a 15 minute job:

here's the thermal paste I bought: $5.35 usd

Mate, only 100 C and over is going to damage the card... I suggest you read up on the specs.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. OP please don't listen to idiots like these, just pay 6 bucks or whatever for new thermal paste and you'll be glad.

OP already figured out the problem. ICUE tells 3 degrees because of the sensors. The main one (The one you're referring to.) was no where close to 95c, so OP is fine. Also, your card ain't staying 60c unless you got liquid nitrogen cooling it on this game. If it does, I'd love to see that.
