[SOLVED] GPU Power W

[thewoo]

Hi

As of recently my GPU went from around 35-45 (cant remember if it was upto 40 or 45) degrees to 49-51 on idle. I cleaned the computer with air spray, but I didn't take the GPU apart tho. Rebooted did everything expect that, yet it still stays there, and games like Witcher 3 it can reach uptill 71 degrees.

I looked further on a program called HWiNF and I wanna ask if this is normal for GPU power to be so high?

GPU 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

67C is not hot for a video card and your power is showing like 35 watts the card has like a 125 watt TDP.

The fans should not run till you hit around 60C or so.

I see no problems.

If you wish you can download MSI afterburner and set a custom fan curve you can use just 2 points 50C=20% 70C = 100% then check the box to make it active when you boot the PC but from what you said your fine without it.

Does 4 degrees do any difference? I just tested it again and now its highest is 71-72

80C is borderline. Not crazy hot but I would prefer a bit cooler.
You can use the MSI program I listed above if you wish and set it up so the fans turn on and ramp up quicker like I stated but your temps are still fine.

I actually looked it up and they say 85C is when you will throttle and loose performance.
I still stick with my 80c or less to have 0 problems. (OCD on my part is kicking in)
