Question Asus RTX 4070Ti SUPER Dual Overheating

[Alone_Boy_]

About 3 months ago I bought a brand new ASUS RTX 4070 Ti Super Dual graphics card. When I first bought the graphics card, the temperature was 74 degrees under full load and the fan speed was around 55%, but recently the graphics card temperature and fan speed started to increase gradually. In the last benchmark test I did, the temperature was 80 degrees and the fan speed was around 88%.

The interesting thing is that I had the same problem with my previous Sapphire RX 6800 XT graphics card. The graphics card, which initially worked at 75 degrees, later saw 88-90 degrees and started to cause a thermal bottleneck. Now my new graphics card is also gradually going in that direction.

What do you think could be the source of the problem?

My Rig:

Motherboard - ASUS ROG STRIX B550F Gaming.
Processor - AMD Ryzen 5600X.
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR4 8x2 16 GB.
PSU - Corsair RM750-750W Gold

Make and model of your case? Make and model of your fans? Orientation of said fans? What has changed since those 3 months?

Motherboard - ASUS ROG STRIX B550F Gaming.
BIOS version for your motherboard?

See if running DDU in Safe Mode, removing all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) to manually reinstall the latest driver sourced from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, helps.

Case: Zalman Z3 Plus, it has 4 120mm fans. Nothing has changed in 3 months. Same case same fans same system. BIOS version 3611.

I can try DDU and latest drivers.

Nope. That didn't work. Any other suggestions?

Likely the gpu needs a repaste, and maybe the heatsink needs dusting out(if you haven't been keeping up with that).

That Zalman case looks like quite an old case and I am not sure the airflow is particularly great. You mentioned you had 4 fans but in what configuration? I can only see options for 1 fan on the front which is partially obscured by the drive cage frame and 1 at the bottom for inlets. It seems there may be 2 outlets on the top and 1 on the rear.

If you could clarify that might help understand the temperature issues

Check for dust bunnies. I having been using a shopVac's exhaust side with excellent results for over 20 years. No loss of components just a clean machine.

How much sag is in the card? Does it look like the cooler is pulling away from the card?

Likely the gpu needs a repaste, and maybe the heatsink needs dusting out(if you haven't been keeping up with that).

When the graphics card is working passively and surfing the internet, the temperature is around 36-38 degrees. (Which was the same temperature when I first bought it) If there was a gap in the thermal paste, wouldn't it get hot while in passive mode? For example, my RX 6800XT graphics card was seeing 45-50 degrees while in passive mode.

Also no dusting on heatsinks. I always keep my pc case and components clean.

The front fan of the case draws air in, while the rear fan draws air out. The top two fans draw air out.

Doesn't look like it. Like I've said when the graphics card is working passively and surfing the internet, the temperature is around 36-38 degrees. (Which was the same temperature when I first bought it) Note that fans in passive mode when under 50 degrees.

I feel that you would be better served having an additional fan on the bottom of the case bringing some additional air in. That case looks like a bit of a hotbox and you have a high negative pressure system with a lot more exhaust than intake.

if you don't have a spare fan try and move the rear fan to the bottom and see if it makes any difference

personally repasting gpu will help but wont mitigate all the issues

i had thermal throttling and went with a aio

DeepCool LS520 ​

for my cpu which knocked of 10 degrees of the gpu due to the amount of heat by a standard heatsink was not being pulled away enough. which just kept the case getting hotter inside.



use msi afterburner to overide fan curve.

keep the fans speed at 30 percent at 25 degrees

50 percent at 50c

65 percent at 65c

75 percent at 70c

100 percent at 80c

thats what i use for my 4070 super when thats on constantly at 30 percent i never go beyond 70c.

and am usually clocking higher. because of the additional headroom.
