Gtx 1070 FE 82c

[z]

So when I'm underload my GPU temp reaches 82C. I know it's not throttling because it stays around 200 mhz over my boost clock. Should I just leave it? (I don't wanna crank up my fan since I'm hoping this card can last me a decade or so. Also I'm 13 and wasted all my money on this card so I can't get a water block or anything).

EDIT: a decade seems a lot. Let's say I want to last this card for 7 years. :D

P.s CPU reaches 70C too. I think that's normal. Thoughts?

It's perfectly safe for gpu's to go all the way up to 90 degrees. But gpu's with aftermarket coolers should not get that high.

forgot to mention its the founders edition :P

Oh, 82 degrees for a founders edition is actually quite good. My founders edition gtx1080 hits 88-89 degrees on full load. I do have a custom fan curve to reduce noise.

This is pretty common for founder's edition.
If the CPU is Intel then this temp is fine under load.

Oh okay. So i should just leave it? :DD

Yeah it is. I even put an extra fan just in case but if you say so.

No, it's not perfect for GTX 1070 GE to reach 90C. The card itself start to throttle at 83C. You don't want to reach throttle temp, period. You can up target temp but all you're doing is shortening lifespan of the card.

Likewise 6-7 gen Intel throttle at like 90C but most people wouldn't want to go past high 70C under stress test. When I meant stress test, those are super hot temp, not gaming full load (100% CPU usage). Gaming full load is never as high as stress test, more akin to CPU ID stress test which is mild at best.

Either you have like 30C+ room temp or your case is severely lacking in airflow. Especially given you are running default clock.

welp ♥♥♥♥. you just made me stress more

Your temp would have been fine for a laptop because they don't have any decent cooling option. For desktop you are treading on dangerous temp. I meant most people who overclock wouldn't want that temp for normal gaming.

Thats not dangerous temps at all.

The official nvidia specs state 94 degrees as maximum temperature for a gtx1070.

Yea at which point the card will shut itself down to prevent damage. 83C is throttle temp, you do not want it dancing near that temp. Not for prolonged use, not at stock clock.

I have a gtx1080 which runs at 88-89 degrees (temp limited to 90 with msi afterburner). It does not throttle at all. It cuts the boost (from 1810mhz to ~1740mhz) when it hits 89 but thats nothing. The boost is basically overclocking and thats why most cards overheat in the first place.

check ure case cooling situation like he said

It is throttling... It's cutting down boost clock to reduce temp and if temp goes up even more you start getting throttling even more. And when it reaches 94C, poof.

It never drops below base clock so it's not throttling. And that's all it takes to maintain ~89 degrees. Normally it can boost all the way up to ~1900mhz on its own (temporarily), by default, without any overclocking or anything. Thats why it gets so hot.

It's like saying i7-6700k which dropped from 4.2Ghz Boost clock to 4.0Ghz as "not throttling".

OP, just watch this

All Pascal cards have the same max temp and throttle temp. Talking from my own experience owning both G1 GTX 1060 and G1 GTX 1080.
