Zotac rtx 2060 amp is reaching 80 degree in ac unity and other games

[Trying to stay sane]

So i recently got a new rig.My gpu seems to be working fine.But it is getting to 80 degree celsius in 1080p full ultra in ac unity.I tried witcher 3 and in witcher 3 full ultra 1080p vsync on it reached 80 degree celsius.
my specs are :
I5 9400f
zotac rtx 2060 amp edition
j24 thermal take casing
aorus elite z390 motherboard
212 coolermaster cpu cooler
650w Coolermaster mwe semi fanless powersupply
a local branded 1200va ups.
My question is ; is it normal? for a Factory oc card to reach this temp?Is it safe to play on those temps? or should i lower my settings a tiny bit and have temps around 70-75 degree?.I am using default fan curve.

My MSI 2060 got really hot as well, it doesn't have an aggressive fan curve, sort of bothered me when I was approaching 75C and fans still really did not kick into high gear. I changed fan curve to keep it at 65 under full load.

i see.but still should i play on those temps or should i change the fun curve? Its my 1st high end gpu so i am not sure if these are normal or not?Also if i should change the fun ,Is there any risk ?will i kill the fans faster if i change the fan curve?

you could try a more aggressive fan curve, normal under load should be around 70/75. assume fans are clean, check case airflow to ensure fans have good supply.

You can't have it both ways, want lower temp you need to adj fan, same argument with higher temps for the graphics processor, want it to last keep the temps low....besides, fans are rated for thousands of hours.

Okay then. I will take a look at it.Thanks a lot

The Factory tends to do a terrible job with pasting of modern GPUs, replaced the paste on my 1060 a few weeks ago and it dropped temps up to 30C, and with it running much cooler i was able to triple the Overclock i originally had on it and it still ONLY maxes out at 64/65C, in non demanding games it stays 60C or under, with most times not being hot enough for the fans to kick in.

So if Airflow is not restricted and isn't whats causing the 80C temps, you may want to look into properly reapplying thermal paste

That is, if you're comfortable doing so.

I should note, before i did the repaste with a SMALL overclock it was maxing out around 80C in demanding games, even when it was brand new. Which is what caused me to repaste, but i wasnt expecting the large difference it made, and all i used was the paste that comes with a Hyper 212 EVO, so it wasnt even the high end expensive paste that is available that made this happen.

So to answer your question, Yes, its normal. But only because of how the factory applies the paste in a manner that cooling is not maximized.

As its your first good GPU and if you arent comfortable redoing the thermal paste then raising the fan speed is the only thing you can really do, aside from trying to increase Case airflow.

Understood.I guess i will check on how to increase my fan speed. :) Thanks for the suggestions.

MSI Afterburner can help you with that, or whatever Zotac has for a tool
