What your GPU temp and fan speed?
Anyone care to share their GPU performance when running on Witcher 3 or other games? Yesterday I upgraded my GPU from Asus Strix dual OC GTX960 2gb to GTX 1060 6gb Manli Gallardo but the new 1060 GPU temp compare to my old GTX960 GPU increased drastically...just wanna survey to make comparison. Please shed a light or advise.

GTX1060 6gb Manli
Currently idle at 36c-40c
Running full load at 84c
Fanspeed clock at 2.3k-2.5k max
Average 1.5k RPM and auto constant run upon switching on PC.

Whereas my previous GTX960 2gb
Idle 32c-38c
Running Full load usually on 65c-70c
Fanspeed below 1.3k.
Fan only run when required.

Should I be worried if run long term on daily basis at 80c and above for more thn 5-8 hrs daily? Does other GPU fans also auto run upon switching on PC? Could the fans lifespan last for 3-4 years if I setup to run at 70% at 2-2.3k rpm daily?

Your temperature is abssolutly normal. It always highly depends on the clock/overclock incl. voltage and the cooler in use.

Pascal card run hot on their own espacially since the card masssivly boost its performance depending on the temperature. It pretty much is designed to run hot and with hit to clock as high as possible without hitting the 83C limit.

Also normal that the fans only sping above 40C. Fans are designed to run a lifetime of a GPU at 100% speed. If they shouldnt run at 100% in the first place, they would reduce the speed limit by default.

Not all cards have the 0dB mode implemented on them. These are usually the cheapest models.
Manli is one of those. Others include Palit StormX (single fan) and MSI OC (single fan again).
So that's why the fan is constantly running.


The cooler is also bad so it's normal for it to run at high temperature.
It also most likely has REALLY cheap and bad thermal paste in between the gpu chip and cooler.
Further making the temperatures worse.

Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition

Idle 50-55°C(it's high because I have 3 monitors) with fan off, 35-40°C with 1100rpm.
65-70°C on full load with 1700rpm.
