[SOLVED] Asus Tuf Rtx 3070 Temps problem

[poorbugger]

I'm not sure what's the problem but i had this gpu for almost a year now. I dont recall the temps back then but i dont think the current temps are normal with the fan speed. So running unigine heaven benchmark puts the gpu to 100% fan speed at 75C with around 1800mhz. I looked up on the reviews of this gpu and they all get 62C around 1750rpm whereas mine reached like 2000 to 3000 rpm. The fan curve is on auto. I also just dusted it with some brush and compressed air. Cleaned my matx case as well. It has mesh front so i dont think airflow is the problem. I even tested it with the side panel off but it's the same result

Edit, took off the front panel, side panels and back panels to test it out. Still the same problem so i dont think it's the case anymore at this point.
Another edit. I also have this problem. Exactly 3000rpm+ randomly despite of the temps.

Hi , Well Most people have this problem due to outdated drivers. please tell if you updated your GPU driver at least once from when you bought it?

You can also clean install your drivers Using DDU software (which mostly solves the problem)

Good luck

It's really unlikely it's the drivers but i ran ddu and reinstall just to make sure anyway. Still didnt work

Same thing. Rtx 3070 Ti Asus Tuf gaming oc. 75 degrees and 100% fans. I could change it but temps will go higher.
I bought 2.5 months ago, didnt use 30 days, few days ago updated drivers and load temps are jumped to 10 degrees.

Bloody hell, any solution so far?

People are guessing that nvidia still using crappy thermal paste for their gpus. So, our gpus are in warranty. Just try to switch off fans till 40 degrees, make better case airflow and clean dust If needed.

Unless you buy founders edition the thermal paste/pad choice has nothing to do with NVidia. It’s the OEM that designed the card so ASUS in this example.

I think its normal. Could someone confirm?

Best to start your own thread. We will need full pc spec including make and model of psu, exact case and the fan configuration.

Do you think the thermal paste has gone bad? My college dorm is really dusty like the front panel get a layer of dust in 1 to 2 weeks.

Dust could not get into the paste. With how little use the system has had the paste will not have gone bad. It might not have been the best paste to start with but for noticeable degradation it usually takes a couple of years.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong?

Check If gpu is sagging... reseat the gpu. Maybe Psu cables of gpu are on heatsink where hot air exhaust and block it.. try to stress gpu with case laying down...

None of the above sadly. It actually got worse overnight. Woke up today and suddenly temps are reaching 80C with clocks being 200mhz lower than yesterday. So im afraid i have to repaste it.

It has mesh front so i dont think airflow is the problem.

mesh panels don't make much difference if there is not adequate intake fans to bring cool air into the GPU
and exhaust fan(s) to remove the heated air from the case.

The fan curve is on auto.

most modern GPUs seem to be designed more for silent operation than cool temperatures by default.
you should setup a more aggressive custom fan curve profile that hits 100% ~65°C.

Well guys i fixed it. It was indeed the paste. When i opened it up, the paste was dried up and there was barely any over the surface. Replaced it with arctic mx 4 and everything is as it should be. This is my first experience with having to repaste a gpu just over a year old. Just my bad luck i supposed.

it was the paste. After repasting fans are at 70% at 65C on auto fan curve

Yes. For my Tuf Gaming Oc 3070 Ti I made better airflow and I got the same temperature and even fan rpm [70 - ish %].
Good, enjoy mate.

hopefully you have no more issue over the next 2 years or so because now the warranty is void.
would suck to lose ~$1000 because of this.

there was no warranty to begin with. The gpu initially costed like 1100 to 1200$. But i ordered it from taiwan for 600usd so there was no warranty anyway.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

warranties do not come from the retailer.
you would've registered this product with ASUS after you received the product and they would have activated the 3 year warranty.

It's not that easy. Before i purchased it i already contacted asus about this matter, they will only take it if a retailer send it to them. Them referring to Asus Taiwan not my country. So unless I know someone over there selling asus products, there is no warranty.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

that's bs.
that is not how it works in any country for any manufacturer.
you purchase a product and if it's a legit product serial the item is registered to your personal information.
if not, then you purchased from a non-legit marketplace possibly dealing in black market or other pirate hardware.

i've purchased many products from overseas; all over eastern Europe, southern Asia, India, Middle East, probably 20+ different countries over the years and have always had success properly registering my products with their official manufacturers.

but it doesn't matter anyway if you've already voided any possible warranty.

Well it's up to you whether to take my word or not. I emailed them before and did a lot of research whether to buy from taiwan or not. Registering the products on their website is not the problem. It's sending it to them.
