90 Degrees HELP!

[dot]

Everytime i play Valheim my GPU gets really hot, i have a GTX 1660 6GB, i usually remove the tempered glass panel so the air can flow better but the temperature remains the same (Between 87-90 Degrees).
I also clean my GPU at least once a month, but i havent replaced the thermal paste.
What am i missing?

Some can yes. But not for long periods. And high temps cause instability issues. Hope your sort this out.

Ok, ty!

I used MSI Afterburner to lower my GPU temperature and it worked but my fans would get VERY loud

It's normal for fans to be loud. It's part of keeping things cool. Adjusting fan speeds will benifit you in the long run.

I adjusted them like this: If my GPU temperature is at 50 degrees my fans run at 60%, if my GPU gets at 70 degrees my fans run at 80% and so...

Is that good or i should change something?

If you haven't replaced your thermal paste, maybe look into re-pasting. It's a common practice to re-paste occasionally. Again, do some research on how to reapply paste. Usually it's super simple.

Ok

Your PC parts (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.) are designed to run at 100% of their capacity for the entire duration of their lifetime. That lifetime is about 5-10 years. That means running the most strenuous stress test they can handle, 24/7/365 for 5-10 years straight.

With that said, that is assuming proper airflow, clean parts, and non-defective parts. Laptops usually have poor airflow which is why they have issues (and why their parts are overpriced as they can't see 100% utilization without overheating)... normally (some don't, but they get pricey). OP mentioned tempered glass so I'm assuming this is PC. They also mentioned keeping the parts clean.

So on airflow just have to ensure cool air gets in and hot air brought out. Also one thing to consider is eating at the computer or having pets in the room with the computer can cause degradation. Food particles and dander can cause an insulative layer that causes heat to not be drawn away as easily.

Any sort of overclock can cause heating issues. They cause the parts to operate past their designed specs and therefor have more heat than normal. But unless you're overclocking then you don't need more than stock coolers. The ones they come with (assuming they do) should suffice for their normal operation.

But at the end of the day, the GPU may simply be running at 100%. Is the video driver crashing? Are the framerates dropping when it gets hot? If the answer is no to both, then it is functioning normally (and you have a PC case that doubles as a space heater).

I would say that 90C is a bit toasty. And at the utter higher limit of what you want. Getting it to cool off a bit isn't a bad idea since if there's any other issues (such as dirt and grime, or other issues that randomly pop up) it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and cause slowdowns and crashes.

But understand (and if you know this already, then this isn't directed at you but others who don't know) that as I said, PC parts will run for 5-10 years at 100% capacity. No game will be the cause of a hardware issue. 99.9% of software cannot cause any sort of issue to hardware. The only exception would be rogue/glitched drivers that turn off fans or turn up voltages. Which this game is not doing nor any game on Steam for that matter (and even then this is basically a theory as I've never seen this happen personally).

Do you mean your CPU? If so, then if you applied the thermal paste correctly the first time you should never have to reapply it.

Put the Glass panel back on. Add more case fans and/or install a Liquid Cooler to your CPU

The problem is not with my CPU, it sits around 50 degrees while i play, the problem is my GPU

Upgrade to a better Graphics card. RTX 2060 6gb perhaps?

You did state earlier that you have new fans coming. Good start.
Depending how you have your cable management, if wires are everywhere that will cause airflow issues.
Proper placement of fans.
Check thermal paste on GPU.

My GTX 1660 super is at 80°C. Either you get bad fans or heat is building up

I would say its alittle high but not overheated, GFX cards is built to often withstand as mush as 120 degrees, but you most likely have to read about your specific GFX card manual or read on homepage to manifacture to see what its built for.

I work in a shop and see alot of PCs whit overheating problems and 90 degrees is often not a problem, unless its al out of thermal paste or fan is not working properly.

But at that point computer usually turn off to protect it self for further damage and to cool down.

I have never had a system shutdown or low fps due to overheating problems, so i think my GPU can handle the 90 degrees

I have Vsync off, and i never limit my fps so my gpu can perform well

That right there is your problem. Not going to read the rest of the topic - limit your framerate to 60 FPS (or your monitor's default refresh). Or, you can continue to let your GPU overheat.

Yes, this.

If you have covered the other basic steps, checked fans condition, profiles, cleaned out dust, and you are still overheating with adequate cooling and airflow, then it's not a bad idea to repaste the GPU. It's easy to do, though with a graphics card it's a little bit more delicate depending on how your HSF is wired to your card. You need to be careful not to yank any wires in the process.

Certain games may push your hardware to its limits, but regardless, if you are overheating at 100% fan speed then that is a hardware issue.
