55 Celsius Degrees in Idle
Ok so my video card, a Zotac 1060 6GB AMP! Edition, in idle reaches 54-56 degrees in idle, is that normal?
Thanks.

My second computer with a GTX-1060-3GB idles at 36~43c and it's air-cooled with two fans. This is actually normal for an air cooled card.

Its only normal with lacking airflow and if you have Performance set in the NVIDIA power setting.

With Performance mode set, any small amount of GPU usage will raise the clocks increasing idle GPU temps.

This is why i brought this up to the OP.

And for the record, my 1060 6GB is idling at 28C in a room with an ambient of around 66F.
This is because even though i have a small amount of GPU usage with what i'm doing, i dont have Performance set in the Power settings in the NVIDIA CP.
66F is kinda low for a room tbh
my room i think is 33C(?)
btw my case has got only one fan so my problem probably is a bad airflow, i need to buy new fans

nah not really low at all imo
In Winter the usual temp for a household that the thermostat is set to is 68F
I'm comfortable with it being a cool/warm temp, basically the temp of early spring or there abouts.

Being on the 2nd floor of the house, Hot/Cold weather easily affects temps in this section as its shared with the attic so i try not to have it set to high.

In your case, if you arent using the Performance setting, then yeah you are likely airflow limited with only one fan whereas i have 4 fans in a high airflow case.

I've got a heater in my room so it's hotter than the natural temperature
should I turn it off?

Thats really up to you and temps you are comfortable with.

For me, id rather be Cool than Hot
-

It should be noted that taking off your case's side panel will likely decrease temps as more air is circulating, so you can try that as well.

Nope! I have power mode set to "Adaptive" in settings and the card drops down to proper idle clocks of 139 Mhz core and 405 Mhz memory when not doing anything with it.

Just curious CJ, what video card do you have? Nvidia video cards tend to idle a little hotter due to the fans turn off when idle. This is normal. Anything in the 35c - 45c range is fine for a modern video card for idle, nothing to worry about.

It's fine for that temperature. Taking into consideration your PC case size, fans/heatsinks, and the environment temps.

All you need to worry about is when it's under load, does the temporary keep on increasing up and up, or does it remain stable? If it's getting up to 85+ then you can start to worry.

You will likely find, due to the graphic card design (ASUS STRIX also does this), it's actually not even using the fans while idle (to remain quiet with zero noise level and just uses the heatsink to cool), till the temp peaks over a certain point. If that's the case, it's running fine and how it should be working.

Silent Innovation - Fans stop for complete silence when below a set temperature threshold.
Extending fan life - Less usage means less wear and longer fan life.
SMART - It’s all done automatically, unless over-written in the overclocking app.

I dont have high idle temps
The ONLY time i ever do have high idle temps is when i set the NVIDIA CP Power setting to Performance

For the 3rd time since you some how apparently can't read the first two times: Anything < 50c is definitely -NOT- "high idle temps".

And you are apparently missing the dang POINT

The ONLY Reason for temps to be above the 30s is
1: Bad Airflow or High ambient room temps
2: Because Performance is set and you have GPU activity, whether by a website, a video etc etc.

You are the one that isnt understanding what i'm saying, not the other way around bud.

Theres no reason why an Idle GPU should be idling in the 40s or 50s with NO GPU activity.

Considering the fact that 50C is near the normal operating temp of 60C when actually playing a GAME, i Do consider that to be High at Idle.

am i making more sense now?
50C IS High for an idle temp
Thats MY Opinion

We obviously have different views of what temperature is considered hot, so just leave it at that.

To clarify, in case you missed my post from before or didn't understand:

The Zotac 1060 6GB AMP! Edition has what is known as "Silent Innovation"

This disables it's fans by default if the temperature is below a certain mark, I believe for that model it's set at 60 degrees. Check the fans while it's idle, are they even spinning?

It's not until it starts doing a load and getting hot, then the fans kick in to cool it down.

Therefore 50 degrees is fine for it and it's not worried one bit about it's own heatsink taking care of that. It's actually saving your fans life span as well as keeping itself quiet, so you can go enjoy web-browsing or watching a movie in silences from it.

Yeah, pretty much all 10 series GPUs have that feature, i personally love it as it means i dont have to dust off my GPU as often as you would with an always on fan version.

Though i'm not sure if the single fan models do that as well
-

My point though is i believe anything over the 30's to be high, which as i mentioned could be caused by air flow, ambient room temps, or because of the Performance power setting as even minor GPU usage will cause the clocks to max out and cause the extra heat.

Well you have two options:

- Ignore it and let it handle it automatically

(or)

- Install the overclocking app and adjust the fan curve to kick in at a lower temp or always be on. You don't need to adjust the overclock settings, just the fan curve (which is normally a graph, you can drag temp vs fan speeds around upon). You basically tweak it to what your pc case needs, if other components below the graphic card needs cooling too, that's a good idea.

Under the fan speed setting > Advance > User Define Setting

Consider something like:
30 @ 40°C
45 @ 60°C
75 @ 70°C
100 @ 84°C

And then tweak it, so it's not so loud or kick in, but the temps remain at a good level.

That is your belief and you're welcome to believe that all you wish and that's your prerogative. However it would be nice if you would please stop attempting to shove your thoughts in everyone's face as "Fact". It's misleading to those that may not understand how nvidia video cards work.

The actual facts: GTX 1000 series video cards drop their fans to 0% at or below 60c for some models and at or below 50c for some AIB Partner models, depending on how the video card's bios is programmed. This is normal operating procedure. Even the reference / stock 1000 series do this. All Nvidia Pascal (1000 series) video cards on air coolers with fans can and will idle anywhere in the 30c~49c range. Anything that idles less than 50c for pascal video cards is normal operating conditions, from the factory. This is literally the designed function of the video cards per Nvidia. Nothing about this situation is "wrong" or "abnormal".

Which part of this do you some how not understand? I don't know how to write it any clearer but if you are still confused I can attempt to clarify further some how.

If you think a GPU running 50C at idle when you yourself state a GPUs fans dont normally kick in until 60C is perfectly fine then you are proving my point

50C at IDLE IS HIGH

As Azza says, you could easily just use a fan profile, but i dont think idle temps should be that high. 9 series and previous GPUs that may have been fine for, but 10 series and up GPUs do not have issues with temps like they did.

as such i feel it isnt right for idle temps to be that high
which is ALL ive been trying to say

Just drop it

And.. my 1080 Ti idles at 20-23c and has never been above 50c a day in it's life since I bought it... even running it at 2126 mhz core, +700 ram and 1.200v core voltage. I kinda cheat with a huge 4-radiator water loop though. -_-
Would love to see some screen shots with 3D mark in these settings, I can not get mine past 2085! And definitely not at your temps, just curious
