Zotac GTX 1070 mini question

[blacklord09]

Is anyone here running this card? If yes what kind of temps and GPU clock speeds are you seeing?

the 10 series, atleast for the ti can begin to slow down a bit from about 63 degrees, its when they hit the 80's they really drop in speed.

They never "slow down" until they reach the throttle temp, which is whatever you set...
But the default is 85*C
You shouldn't be running anywhere near 80*C on any GPU anyways, if so your cooling is sub-par in your Case.

my ti's would hit their very peak in stress testintg briefly before they hit about 63 then they would drop a dew mhz , then stick there until the 80's, it was odd, it was only about 20MHz, but i was using precision x, which is horrible, for the cards fan profiles and lighting over afterburner so it may of been an oddity of that, will be back with afterburner when im back on them.

edit.
a custom curve can help, but if you are only hitting mid 70's you are perfectly fine, ignore edmund, there is no need to run your cards at 100% fan unless you are benchmarking, even then its questionable, in normal use adjust so the temps remain under 80 and its not too noisy.

Mines running default. And I’ve never seen it throttle
Fastest I’ve seen the fan go is 60% to

Zotec's default fan curve is really bad. I have zotec 1060 amp eidition. At default fan curve it easily hits 80°C. Because they wanted to make their cards quiet, so the fan will spin only 40-45% speed, unless you go above 80°.

So I take it then that a custom fan curve is a must with the Zotac cards right?

Not necessarily, 80°c won't hart your GPU in any way. Not even 85°. My AMD GPU always runs at 85-87° when gaming. Only 90° C and up is bad. But then the GPU will throttle automatically, you don't need to worry about it.

Custom fan curve is needed only if you do overclocking, to sustain the higher clock speed. At above 2000+ MHz, Pascal GPU will start throttling after 70°C, sometimes even at 65°c. So you need to crank up your fan to keep the Temp at mid 60s.

But if you keep your GPU at stock speed. The throttleing point is above 90°c in Pascal GPUs.

They are bad on all the GTX 10 for the most part, just change it.
Every user with such GPUs should have something like MSI Afterburner installed... learn how to use it.

Kinda related to the thread and boost clocks
I watched this last night. And was kinda interesting.

So results may vary

I saw this vid as well. He makes a few interesting points but buttom line is that it boils down to the silicon lottery.

Boost clock does get affected by temp. It won't drop below the advertised boost clock until thermal throttle temp target, but for example last night was very hot (28C) and my GTX 1080 hit 77C. I increased the fan curve, pushing temp down to 72C and get +12Mhz on Boost Clock.

You GTX 1080 is fine even at 85*C, so no issue there.
28*C is not even hot. Sometimes my room temp is over 32*C and hardware stays cool still.
