90 degrees celsius GPU temperature after update

[MTheMan]

So uughh...
I have an AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT. It used to run at 80 degrees before, now it was almost 90 after the Mizutsune update.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How do your GPU even get up to 80 yet alone 90?

[MTheMan]

By playing the game.
It just jumps to 80 when I'm in it.

Why would your temperatures have anything to do with the game you're playing? That's not how any of this works. It can't be utilized more than 100%, so your cooling is just not sufficient.

So, uh, get better chassis fans? If you have 90 degrees on GPU, hotspot should be hovering around the thermal limit which will drastically lower your GPU longevity if you don't fix the cooling

Ramp up the fan curve of the GPU - via some software, e.g. MSI Afterburner. You could also limit the power to the GPU there - to, say, 85%. It will give you a little bit less FPS (or perhaps not) but it will bring the temperature down.

Also make sure your case is well ventilated - elevated GPU temps may be a symptom of not enough airflow or too positive airflow. Perhaps ramp up the case fans a little bit and especially the exhaust ones. You need that warm air out of the case ASAP, otherwise it will be fed back into the GPU and snowball temps.

If you haven't changed the thermal paste of the GPU for like 3+ years, perhaps now is the time to do it. It might also help.

Thanks, I'll look into ramping up the fan and the power thing.

Though, as far as paste and airflow goes, its all fine. The paste was changed about a month ago, and the case is wide-open.
Out of all the games I play, it is only in Wilds that the temp ramps up, and especially in this update.

Definitely the GPU fans then. I've had a Gigashat 2060 Super that was like that - out of the box it was hitting 85C on the simplest of games. Turns out the fan curve was so low to make it "quiet" but the GPU die was roasting in the meantime. Once I tweaked it a little bit, it never broke 65C.

Also manufacturers (and AMD & Nvidia themselves) like to go a little overkill with the power rating - the last 10-15% don't do much to perfromance, if at all. But they make the GPU run hotter. In my case with the 2060S, lowering the power to even 80% did absolutely nothing to performance - FPS was the same but temps dropped a few degrees more.

It's all a balancing act - noise VS cooling with the GPU fans. Start with like 0% fans until 45-50C (for browsing and such, you don't need fans here), then 25-30% fans up to 60C (light games and hot summer days) and 90% fans from there on up (or a bit lower if they are too loud, 80%+ is plenty). Don't ramp them to 100% - most fans begin to rattle at that point and cooling stays the same, 90% is the max cooling you will get.

Hope it helps.

Aight. I tweaked the fans and stuff a bit, it's good now.
Though, I also reinstalled the game. That seems to have helped as well. Hitting 90 degrees in the menu was definitely not solely a cooling issue.
