RTX 2060S Temps

[Deleted8583783]

Hey,

I just got my new RTX 2060S and after benchmarking for some time my idle temp is 45 (odd?) and my max temperature while gaming (RDR2 and BL3) is 74 degrees C.

Are those temperatures fine?
Thanks!

That's normal and fine. Fan curve is probably the factory default, which is why the temperatures seem high.

Thanks for the reply, I also fixed the high idle temps by setting the power mode to "adaptive" instead of "prefer maximum performance"

Since you happen to have a Ryzen as well: do your GPU fans hit 100% speed for a while upon booting?

No, it doesn't do that for me. All fans will normally ramp up during the POST before BIOS takes over and the fan profile in BIOS is applied, similar thing happens for the GPU.

It should always be set to "prefer maximum performance" though, because it can affect the overall GPU performance, and idle temps mean nothing.

What is performance set to in nvidia control panel? High performance will keep temps up as it tends to keep the card boosted. I like balanced as when nothing is happening thr card is cooler.

As long as the GPU stays below 85 degrees, it doesn't matter what temperature it is under load or while idle. It isn't going to kill the card, temperatures up to 87 degrees is within spec. (Throttles at 88 C)

It should always be set to prefer maximum performance, because the other settings affect the power consumption of the card -- a modest setting affects how much power is fed, and it can harm performance. Not worth lowering idle temperatures when all you have to do is change the fan curve.

Its hard to know sometimes, at least for me because i've got so many different opinions. Weather or not to leave in max peformance. What do you recommend for cpu power? I have ryzen max and have played with all. I also notice there is other settings inside there like pcie and cooling and max cpu state.

1usmus' power plan for Ryzen 3000 is better than the plans that the chipset updates give for Ryzen.
I'm not sure how it holds up for 1000 and 2000, but PBO should be disabled for Ryzen 3000 because more often than not it does more harm than good, as it adds more factors to the boost equation.

I just read up a bit on it at techpowerup. Gonna give it a go tomorrow. Can installing something like this cause a conflict in ones system? Just asking because its not just like installing a monitor or something its operating system level.
