Question GPU running hot while playing games at 1440p

[aqibkurawle]

So I just got my graphics card faulty BGA fixed, when I play games on it, the card heats up substantially. I have set the resolution at 1440p and the graphics quality to 'High'. MSI Center shows GPU usage 100% and temps at 71C-72C. If I reduce the resolution to 1080p, the temps do come down to 63-65C.

Are these temps normal for prolonged gaming sessions?

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with Cryorig H7 Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming
GPU: MSI RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio
RAM: GSkill Trident Z (2 x 8GB) F4-3200C16
PSU: Seasonic 850W platinum
Case: NZXT H700
Case Fan Configuration: 3 Intake at the front, 1 exhaust at the rear

That case was known to be bad thermal wise. Take the side panel off and aim a fan to the innards, see if that helps.

You forgot to mention what sort of titles you're taxing the GPU with.

Yes.

71deg is ok for that card under gaming load. Hows your gpu fan profile set up?

What were the temp before you had the card fixed.

Did you pay a company to do this or do it yourself. Unless you mean something different BGA generally refers to removing and resoldering chips to the board.

Not a trivial thing to try and many things can go wrong. Could though be as simple as the paste or pads were incorrectly replaced.

Your temps are absolutely fine. Nothing to worry about.

Now you can check your hotspot temp with GPU-z, and if your hotspot temp was over 110c, then you might have an issue. But other than that you are good to go

BTW 82-85c is the max temp for your GPU. You have no issue.

You could give the a card a good dusting with some compressed air or PC blower. Make sure the fans are nice and clean.

Sorry, I did not understand which side panel, do you mean the tempered glass or the metal panel?
I have been playing GTA Online, Train Sim and Forza Horizon 5 lately. All of them at 1440p. I forgot to mention that the monitor is LG 32GQ950.

I have disabled Zero Frozr in MSI Center, could not find any setting to configure GPU fan RPM manually. I also set the case fans to run at full RPM in the BIOS. Note that I have not setup any kind of overclocking.

I paid a company to repair it, this was beyond my expertise

MSI Service center could not repair it(not sure why they could not) and returned it saying BGA faulty. Reached out to a third party chip level repair center, explained the issue to them and what I understand from them is that they basically reballed the BGA chip(GPU carrier chip).

When the card was paired with 1080p monitor, I did monitor the temps much, the tempered glass paneI would also not heat up much. I bought a 4K monitor LG 32GQ950 last year, since then I have been playing games at 1440p. During long GTA Online game sessions, the tempered glass panel would heat up very much. The I/O shield of the Graphics card would also get hot substantially like it is getting heated today. It is probably because of this heating issue the BGA went faulty. Since I see the same symptoms after the repai, I am worried it will go bad again.
