Question 2060 thinks its overheating

[MajesticMonstrosity]

I had a single fan 2060 but the thermals were too hot so I decided to get a small and compact 2 fanner from Zotoac. I don't know if this was a mistake but whatever bullshit software they put into this card makes it think anything above 70c is overheating so I get frame drops in easy-ass games like Minecraft and Fortnite, which mind you I had no frame drops and could hit 144fps on the single fan in Minecraft now I can't get past 70. Ramping up fan speeds doesn't work nor does doing ANYTHING in Afterburner. I don't want to return this card because it may have been over two weeks since I've had it although I don't know. My computer can't fit anything bigger than the card that is in now. I just want to fix this. Sorry for my language I'm just super pissed that I can't play games that I used to without dropping to 40 fps in Fortnite when I didn't drop below 70 before.

Yeh I can certainly feel your pain, I've been having similar issues. Have you done much troubleshooting? (run DDU, reinstall drivers)
I would suggest uninstalling MSI afterburner and using the stock NVIDIA software. You may have access to more options for your card. IE: higher temperature target, undervolting etc.
I've had issues with afterburner not applying settings and reporting false info.

Yes, I have reinstalled the drivers, three times. So If I remove MSI Afterburner will I no longer get any frame drops? What do you mean by stock software? The bios of the card doing all the work itself or is there a software I have to download from NVIDIA?

How do you know your frame drops are because of heat?

Whats your full system specs?

Because when my 2060 single fan was at 84c I never got framerate drops like this with hotter temps.

Thats bizarre.

I would uninstall all software related, you only need the nvidia drivers.

would you be willing to change the thermal paste on your card? This may fix the problem
