Is 88C(190f) normal for a 3060 ti?

[Happy]

I have the gigabyte eagle version of the card and it has 2 fans on it. i was recently playing hogwards legacy when i noticed my gpu temperature was reaching 90 degrees C and was wondering is this normal and if its not what should i do about it?

Gigabyte Eagle cards run hot. They are the bottom of the barrel for low end everything.

So does that mean i cant do anything?

Under high load, that is a normal temperature.

The card will throttle if it gets too hot and you'll notice reduced performance.

If you want to do something about it, run the game on lower settings. Improve your overall cooling.

Is it hamful?

You can try to mitigate the issues.

More airflow in the case. Set a more aggressive fan curve. Lower clock and voltage.

But yeah, those cards are just bad. Cheap but bad.

Does installing a water cooler help?

A GPU water block? Or a CPU water block?

A GPU water block might but a CPU water block may not do much but reduce it by a degree or two.

Is it possible for me to completely get rid of tgr gpu fans all together and put a fan of my choosing instead?

a new 3060 ti under load according to that review is 68 degrees c. but the review doesn't mention ambient temp which does affect the gpus temp as well. so your gpu is probably not peforming like new given its age and warrants a clean, maybe a repaste and changing the thermal pads as well.

That's the Eagle OC. Slightly better built than the lower end Eagle non-OC.

RMA it.

Gpu should be running in mid 70's imo and I would set a more aggressive fan curve, the default does not spin the fans below 60 deg and may not hit 100% until the card is too hot.

Also look at the case airflow, maybe consider more or better fans there to draw in cooler air and expel warm.

Come to think of it my case is around 15 years old so i might just change the case and also is there such a thing as an water cooling device for your gpu?

There are water block for GPUs, but before getting one you should adjust the intake/outtake and gpu fan curves and see it that would help first. If that doesn't then you can get the water block.
