GPU temps

[Monkey Man]

So i got a gigabyte rtx 2060 super windforce 8gb and its idle tmep is 45 but in games it reaches near the 60's should i be concerned about the temps it can get to?

That’s far from overheating. Don’t worry so much.

Thanks i just came from a 1050ti so these temps just seemed off to me

The higher idle temps probably just means your case is warm. Your case fans speeds temperature controlled?

60 is perfectly fine.

[Mad Scientist]

Those temps are entirely normal and well within operating temperatures.

Yes case fans are controlled

[Illusion of Progress]

A lot of modern-ish GPUs (might depend on brand and model too) run the fans at very low RPM when idle by default. This is probably for noise reasons as well as life of the fan(s), but I've also heard it mentioned that the smaller delta between idle and load can be beneficial (nVidia did have issues with solder wearing years and years ago, and heating and cooling cycles can accelerate that wear). Whether that offsets a warmer idle is something I can't answer.

It’s just that I’m playing doom eternal and it reaches 70c so it’s just a lil worrying

It's fine. It's well within spec and not worth stressing over. You can either ignore it, or increase fan curve and sacrifice silence for cooling, and I recommend the former; just ignore it.

If you were running an RX 5700 or 5700 XT, those temperatures would be cold, as they're known to run over 100 degrees on the junction temperature (there's 4 temp sensors on RX 5000 series; core, junction, vrm, memory, and core maxes out at 85 C just like NVIDIA but hardly reaches that, it's the junction that's so hot) with cheaper models (i.e. reference style), and 90 degrees on the premium models with excessive cooling solutions (i.e. AORUS)
My 5700 XT's junction/hot spot temperature hovers in the mid 90s in GPU heavy situations, and that combined with the high airflow in my case actually heats up the general idea around my system by a few degrees. That's all from the GPU itself, but it's perfectly safe because it's within spec of the 5700 XT. The junction temperature maxes out at 115 degrees last I checked.

i have tried changing a few settings the fans start at 45c at 33% and i bumped that up to 40% but the auto settings seem to be the better choice, i thought 60c+ causes some issues with gpu's such as life span and such

No. As long as it's within its temperature spec (~85 degrees) there's no damage, and the card will throttle or even shut off entirely to prevent damage.

Ahh okay thanks for the info!

Do you have High Performance mode set in the Nvidia CP for Power?
