GPU temp gets high in warzone

[L.o.D.]

I have an RX 6600 XT 8GB with triple fans. Zero rpm is enabled. There's also 2 case fans blowing on the card from underneath and the GPU hotspot hit 90 cel and the fans were hitting 1600 RPMs.
Should it not be cooler with the fans all on?
The bottom case fans shouldn't be causing an issue? There's 2 140s blowing upwards into the card.

The case is a Fractal Design Torrent compact. Has the 2 180s in the front with 2 140s on the bottom. The warm air is pushed out by all the fans.
Bottoms are intakes, blowing directly onto the vid card. I "could" add the second Noctua fan that came with the NH D-15 to the rear. But this case is made without one for a reason.
I'm just wondering if the bottom fans are fighting with the gpu fans somehow.

You've added the bottom fans, which might be messing with the front-rear airflow, creating a pocket of hot air between the GPU's back plate and the CPU cooler.
Try and see how it goes without the bottom fans active. Probably a few degrees lower at hot spot.

Wow, this case is crap. Remind me never to buy from this manufacturer. Fans on the bottom not the top? Crazy ideas, probably meant for AIO.

Wow. What a dumb response! No, the compact isn't the best case for thermals, but the Fractal Torrent is one of the best airflow cases ever made. It has two front 180mm fans and 3x140mm fans on the bottom and the airflow is amazing. Please go watch the Gamers Nexus review of the Torrent before spouting any more garbage takes.

My current build is a 4090/7800x3d with a D15s on the cpu in a Fractal Torrent and I haven't seen the GPU or CPU get outside of the 70's in non-stress test loads (aside from the hotspot gpu temp hitting the low 80's).

@ OP: Is your case on a solid surface (no carpet) with no obstructions around it to prevent airgetting pulled in from the sides? Even with the reduced thermal performance of the compact, 90s on that gpu seems high even if it's technically acceptable. Also, possibly dumb question, but you're sure the bottom fans are in the proper orientation to draw air in? I doubt putting an exhaust fan on the rear would do anything as it sounds like the case is working fine for your cpu and that's what would benefit the most from the exhaust fan.

From what I read up on this months ago when I got an AMD card, the hot spot can reach up to 110C and be fine. Many people say they feel more comfortable staying under 100C or closer to 90C. The temperature to hot spot delta can vary. I've seen it vary on my own card depending on the workload, or even in the same game depending on the scene, from as little as 5C to 10C range up to 25C to 30C. And that sounds like a big delta... but I'm not much worried about a 67C edge and 93C hot stop when they're both well below maximum. I think fixating on the delta isn't too helpful. Just watch the maximum temperatures themselves over time.

Forget comparing to how it goes with nVidia. That's apples and oranges because nVidia is more "keep the edge temperature everything shows and everyone goes by as low as you can, the hot spot is often hidden so fewer people know/talk about it, soft throttling starts at ~83C and critical is ~92C" but AMD is more "edge temperature is probably meaningless because it's so much lower than hot spot and that's often often the one to watch".

A 20C buffer from rated maximum doesn't sound bad to me. And a varying delta doesn't sound like a problem either. However, hot spot temperatures going up over time (starting in the upper 80s, working it's way over 100C months later) would be a problem, and I've heard that is something to watch on AMD cards.

For reference, I've had two Sapphire Nitro 7800 XTs (first was faulty) and both did the same (delta varies with load and can reach plus or minus 90C-ish). The edge temperature is often in the 50s to 70s, I don't think I've seen 80+ there. Highest hot spot I've seen is 93C so far and that was in Minecraft with shaders looking up at the sky with an uncapped frame rate. Usually hot spot is in 80s or lower and temperature is 60s or 70s or lower. None of this comes off as a problem to me. As long as temperatures don't go up in the short term, which is the one thing I am wondering about since how common it is said to be, then I won't have any issues with how it behaves. I never hear it get loud when the hot spot gets to 85C either. The card is silent to me unless I do the TriXX software fan test, which spins each of the three up individually (probably to 100%) and then it sounds very loud.

Under 100*c is fine

if you care about noise, then amd is not a good choice.

I have never heard the fans from an AMD card, ever.

Just in case you should check your GPU fans and fix their thermal grease every year at least once, it may be that one of your GPU fans doesn't work correctly or you need to inject thermal grease. But overall, Warzone is the worst in terms of being optimized.

I have thought about redoing the thermal paste on it.
This card wasn't getting hot like this before though. Have had it through warzone 2.

The case is on a thin rug. The bottom case fans I added are Thermaltakes and they are upside right.

Here's some reading for you since you don't know....

Hotspot is just that, the hotter area. This area is safe to 105-110*C
If you are seeing around 90*C, there is no reason for concern.


What's your GPU Core Temp hitting?

If you are seeing something like Core @ 75*C and Hotspot @ 90*C
That is totally fine.

If you see either temp hit over 100-105*C then that's rather bad.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

PSU doesn't even count as that would be an isolated intake/exhaust all its own.

Yea you need to at the very least either add 2x exhaust fans or just take 1x intake and move it over to being an exhaust fan.

The actual gpu temp was around the 70s with the hot spot 90+. It's moreso the fan speeds that are butting me, other than hotspot hitting 99.

The Fractal Design cases are designed without an exhaust for a reason. The Torrent comes just like how I have the Compact, but instead of 3 bottom intakes, I have 2.

[L.o.D.]

Ok, I think I had the Thermaltake fans in upside down with logo up. It's actually supposed to be facing down.
But, with just the game loaded, sitting in the lobby, gpu fans are at 1400 and the GPU temp is hitting 70cel.

[L.o.D.]

Ok, I did have the bottom fans turned the wrong way. GPU temps never hit 70cel this time. 68 was the highest.

So 4 intake fans and no exhaust other than the one of the PSU ... and the rear holes . It sounds bad

Guys... the Fractal Torrent cases are not designed like that. There's a ton of ventilation out of the rear, but they are designed as positive airflow cases without the need for an exhaust fan. I have the full size version and it's 5 fans (2x180 and 3x140) all intake and it runs extremely cool (7800x3d/4090 as I've said previously). Yes, the compact version runs hotter, but it's still designed with the same principles. IIRC, the drawback with it is the feet aren't as tall so the bottom intake isn't as good. OP also has the case on a rug which is not good practice.

To tell you the truth i dislike the design of these cases . Dont care what they think or do . There re other Fractal Design cases that i like .

Well, you can dislike them, but you can't say that the reason it's not working is the lack of an exhaust as that's not how it's supposed to work. it's a preference thing. Personally, having to get custom cables just to make the build look decent(due to the top mounted PSU) was a downside for me. My last build was a 5800x/3090 in a Phanteks P600s case with the 360 Lian Li Galahad (which I loved), but I was looking to go for max air cooling and not overkill RGB with this build and there isn't any better than the Torrent at the moment.

Hah hah , so the OP pretended to have had overheating issues . Keep these cases for you . I know their reviews but still dislike them. Their design is stupid .

No, I literally stated why he's having issues (the Compact Torrent has shorter legs and hes got it sitting on a rug/carpet). The full size case is literally the best air cooling case available and I stated that I speak from personal experience on that as well.

Again, you can not like the case all you want, but it doesn't excuse the fact that it does exactly what it sets out to do better than the competition. You can't call the design stupid just because you don't like it as it's objectively good.
