RTX 3080 indicates permanent 60°C in task manager

[The Grin]

This happens since this morning. Is this a bug ?
The fans are turning even on idle but the general power plan is "balanced".
Usually I have 30° ?
Even while gmaing it's at 60° :s

[_I_]

use gpuz

60c is fine at load
max is around 90-100c and it will throttle before any damage is done

OS power plan doesn't do anything for your GPU card. You need to set that all up in an app such as MSI Afterburner

Hello,
well I have never actually used " GPUz or MSI Afterburner" since I never had any issues with the pc. Usually the temperature was ok (30 degree on pc startup and it stayed at around 30 -35 when doing normal tasks). Under heavy gaming load it went up to 70 -78°C perfectly fine.

what bothers me is NOW since it's very cold out there, the GFX card Temperature should be at 30°C maybe even lower but I am literally witnessing it gradually rising from 38 on startup to 60 (right now) just being on windows.

This can't be right.

Could it be a bug bond to the last Nvidia driver update maybe ?

That is why check on your task manager , what it doing , go check Gpu usage.

Fyi even watching youtube usualy rising my temp gpu lil bit, hell even watching movie with media player can up to 40c

[r.linder]

Could be something as simple as the way fan speeds are configured, your temperatures are fine either way

some fan cures wont turn the fan on til 60c so its silent under no and medium loads
thats fine, as long as when its at full load its under 90c

how old is the card?

how hard is it used?

have you moved your case recently, possible unseating it a little?

any new programs installed recently?

rolling back the nvidia driver would be an easy check and won't hurt anything

i have to agree, though

a sudden jump that doubles the normal temp is something to look into

task manager has never reported the right temps on my EVGA 3080 10gb......its a hybrid water cooled XC3 card and windows says its at 90c when 60c is the real reading.....after burner and GPU-Z report the right temps......

well my adrenaline and task manager have same, and they are generally just a software so pretty much it wil be the same. and i asked him looking task manager for GPU usage

[smokerob79]

and adrenaline is AMD....did you have a point about a NgreedyA GPU???

The PC is two years old.
I mostly use it for gaming, text writing and watching movies.
This is a unique situation that never happened before.
I have a cat and there are fair amounts of cat hair in the pc in addition to dust but I regularly undust it.

It might be the Nvidia driver tho, I will have to check that.

Hello, GPU usage is a t 0° with the temperature starting at 36° C up to 60 °C but the case is not HOT like under a 60° hot load.
The tempered glass is "cold" so maybe it's a software problem that indicates wrong values.

Yes that's what bothers me because the fans don't move usually.
And now they do while the PC is just idle.

something like mining bot doing mining, that my long shot, or your gpu need a new paste

You know what. I will try cleaning up my pc first. Trying to "Undust it and UnCathair it :p". and I'll see what happens.
