EVGA GTX 1060 SC fan running at 3500 RPM
I recently bought the above card.

I've noticed when gaming that it reaches a peak of 80C from using HWMonitor. The fan speed also seems to peak at 3500 rpm.

I have a micro atx build and no extra case fans. Just an air cooler for my processor. My computer is also in a cupboard

Is this a normal temp and fan speed to expect in these conditions?

It just struck me as very loud but I'm not used to the higher end cards.

I never noticed much noise from my previous video cards in the same conditions.

I previously owned an EVGA GTX 960 SC and a Sapphire Radeon 7750.

Yes this is normal especially since you have no other fans. 80C is plenty fine as well. You can buy slim case fans if you would like to cool it more.

Edit: I would advise taking it out of the cupboard though. That is probably causing higher temps.

Normal yes, it is also sort of a downside to using single fan design based GPUs.
2 or 3 fanned GPUs are much better at cooling overall.
If it's not thermal-throttling or peaking to 85*C+ then the GPU should be fine otherwise.

What model of Case do you have?

You really should have multiple Case Fans otherwise heat just collects and there is nothing in the way of overall airflow to help take care of that; multiple Intakes and Exhaust fans generally are needed for such PC configs.

this, and i really suggest doing what sticky honeybuns said about taking it out of the cupboard.

upgrade your case to a mid or full ATX tower and get noctura fans for the intakes and exaust. if you don't like the color, just find the black versions or paint the fans to a certian color. or you can also get some static pressure fans.


i would get a dual or tri- fan gpu or just screw the budget and slap (don't litterally do that. just apply one on) a waterblock on it and custom loop (not recommended)

Yes confined areas are no place for a PC that is going to be operating in a demanding manner; it will just suffocate and continue to get hotter.

Its like continuing to rev car engine hard continuously without airflow and/or while in a confined space, like a garage, it will continue to get hotter...

Gonna ruin your computer if you don't move it.

a Confined restricted air space is NOT a good place for a PC to be

a PC NEEDS air to stay cool, if you are essentially starving it of air then thats the quickest way to ruin your PC.

If it comes to it, do a lil DIY and add a fan or 2 to the front of the cupboard so air can easily get inside.

Regardless, suffocating a PC is not good for it.

^^ This. A PC is like an engine, you wouldn't cover over the cooling inlets on your car, so why run a PC in a tiny box? It'll have the same effect - overheating and eventually mechanical damage.

When I had a single fan EVGA GTX 550 Ti that used almost as much power (116w vs 120w) I never saw it go over 63 C. I currently have an Asus Dual GTX 1060 OC and it likewise runs about 63 C (maybe 65 C just briefly) and its twin fans quietly spin up only a few % from 33% minimum. I think the only other fans in my old Dell XPS 8100 are the CPU fan and exhaust fan built into the OEM PSU at the "top" of the case. I saw a photo of a case someone thought might have potential heat issues (without listing any temperatures) and his PSU was at the bottom of his case "under" his graphics card (which was an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 1060).

Certainly it would heat up more than normal in a confined space with no ventilation. Is it possible to perforate or remove the back of the cabinet your computer is in? Maximum temperture for GTX 1060 is 94 C. If it gets too hot it should shut itself down before it does damage, but running it hot all the time may shorten its life.

Also depending on were you bought the card from might be the reason. Evga built these cards to specs that Nvidia sent them and the thermal pads were wrong. They corrected the issue but some of the cards were not sent back so you need to register you card to make sure the serial doesn't show up as one of these cards.

That was ONLY for 1070 and 1080 FTW editions
NOT GTX 1060s

Its a mute issue now anyways, new GPUs dont have this issue.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Just to clarify, my pc is in a cupboard with double doors. Whenever my pc is switched on, the doors are always fully open. There is also a small round hole on the back for my cables (around 2 inches in diameter. I have also left a couple of inches between the back of my pc and the cupboard.

My case is fairly old. It has a space on the back for 2 40mm exhaust fans and a place for 1 80mm intake fan on the side.

Should I get 2 exhaust and 1 intake fan or will just 1 exhaust and 1 intake be enough?

I've been looking at the following fans:

This one for intake:

This one for exhaust:

Ideally a case that allows 120/140mm fans for intake/outtake would be good but if a new case isn't an option by all means try installing the ones you can on your current case.

Hacing the cupboard open when PC in use is good and shouldn't really affect air intake....I suspect you outtake my be impeded though as you only mention a hole big enough for your cables. Is there a gap at the top of the case? How much?

If possible you really should cut out/remove the back of the cupboard to allow the heat to escape. Currently all that heat is probably exiting your case and dispersing around it, as it doesn't have anywhere to go, and is possibly being sucked back in via the intake fan and other openings of the case. Warm air in means it won't cool down aswell, making fans fun faster.

Just to rule out other issues, take your pc from cupboard and take side panel also off before gaming. Is gpu fan spinning fast ?

GTX1060 should run pretty cool even in full load. Perhaps faulty thermal paste ?

Taking side panel off is a stupid idea. Without the panel on there is nothing stopping al the dust and crap being sucked into the system. With the side panel off it will need cleaning all the time.
My advice was only for TESTING how gpu behaves when opened case.
Problems can be solved step by step.
If gpu fan is spinning max even in open case scenario, problem is not airflow !
