Hi i bought a 2nd hand GTX 1080ti, and running games on high performance the GPU hotspot has reached 92 degrees with the diode around 75. I'm not an expert with these things, but i'm presuming that's too hot? I'm using AIDA64 to measure the temperature etc, the cooling fans are averaging around 50%

I've googled it and it says if they reach around 80-85 on high demand that's ok. I've seen the thermal pads and the thermal paste may need replacing? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Adjust the fan curve and see if they reduce. Set it so that the fan ramps up to near full speed when its near the ~80c range.
Hotspots going that high is not ideal.

Sorry for been stupid but how do i do that? I installed the program that came on the disc, but i can only manually adjust the fans to ramp up, so I'd have to set the speed manually when it starts to get hot?
 
no, not normal from what i know. out of the box, it should have a fan curve that should keep it cool. it has probably been altered by you and set to manual always at 50% setting or something like that.

anyways, keep me posted with your results :)

I only bought it a couple of days ago, tried gaming with it today for the first time and noticed it was getting hot, so I haven't touched any adjustments. Will keep an eye on it and keep you posted thanks.

A 17C gap? That's fine. I wish I remembered what mine was at before I changed the cooler + some NT-H2, but the current gap is 14C.
~Whoo! A 3C difference. Nothing to panic over.

That's because:
Thermals are still good. Fans should get more aggressive if the core reaches 84C+ or hot spot reaches 100C+. Also, below:

Though you should still check the gpu's bios, as Eximo suggested, in case something was altered there.

I've downloaded GPU-Z and the bios version is 86.02.39.00.6A
It's an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080Ti so i don't know if it's the correct bios or not? As i said.....not very savvy with these sort of things.

After adjusting the fans the hottest the card has go is around 84 degrees with the fans running around 70% Is this ok?
