Question 3070 ti temps

[DominicB06]

Hi my 3070 ti (founders edition) temps are hitting 85c while gaming. Is this normal for this card? I just purchases 2 new fans to replace the 2 fans that came stock with my case, to see if this will help . My case is the nzxt s340 and my CPU is a i9 9900.

Get a fan, like one of these:

Remove the side panel, and have the fan blow inside the PC while you're playing games.
If there's like a 5C or more difference, then the airflow is lacking.

If it there is little to no change, then it's the cooler. Poor paste application, fan not working, or perhaps the cooler isn't sufficient?

Hitting 85C, it's pretty much thermal throttling: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/234245/nvidia-rtx3070ti-8192-210425
83C is the default limit.

I doubt better fans will make any difference with the side panel on. Your case has terrible airflow and I would just replace it with a new airflow case like the Corsair 4000D Airflow (just an example).

I hate to think how bad the vram temps are if the GPU is 85c. O_O
