GTX 1650 GDDR6 VRAM-Temperatur

[Game-Gun]

Hello Steam-Community,

i just bought a Zotac GTX 1650 GDDR6 OC (Single-Fan) und noticed, that there are no thermalpads or even contact between the heatsink and the memory. Is this normal for such a lowpower Budget-Card, or should i be worried that the VRAM-Temperatur might get too hot?

The Card will sit inside a SGPC K39 ITX-Case togehter with a Ryzen 5 5500, so Airflow and Ventilation shouldnt be a Problem, because the Case has plenty of openings for Air to come in and GPU and CPU have there seperat place inside the Case.

Sorry for the mediocre English and thanks for the replys.

As someone who has recycled around 70 GTX 1050's and around 150'ish 1650's, I remember only a couple ever having thermal pads for the memory. Even the ones that have a 6 pin power connector, never saw thermal pads for the memory.

It's a budget low end card, even for the best of them with a power connector. Won't draw much power or have much heat, so thermal pads are seen as not needed.

Would it make sense to open up the card and place thermalpads on the memory, even if it makes only little contact with the heatsink?

That would require knowing the proper thickness. Too thin a pads, and acts like a heat insulator, too thick and could cause the heatsink to not properly seat atop the GPU core.

Like I said, the cards don't put out much heat or power, the memory is generally slow. 128bit interface and only running around 1500-2000Mhz on the memory.

Unless the VRMs or VRAM is getting above approx 105*C it should be fine.

It's normal for the lower end cards to not have thermal pads. They don't run as hot even when pushed at 100% 24/7

Gtx 550 Ti and 750 Ti were the same way

Unless you see the gpu thermal throttle then you have nothing to worry about.

check the temps of the memory with GPU-Z or AIDA64
also as Bad Motha mentioned aslong as it's below 100-105c
you are fine.

Well the NVIDIA GPU Core itself is what most apps will see as "GPU Temp"
Which shouldn't be going over 84-91*C
However the VRMs and VRAM can support higher temps then the Core can.
