Question GPU temp 75ºC Hotspot 106,5 fans at max RPM

[RodroX]

Hi guys, so the last few months I been feeling somethings not the same with my EVGA RTX 2070 Black Gaming (https://www.evga.com/products/specs/gpu.aspx?pn=1207a8ec-269d-4e11-91a9-e01226652c9f).

For example, A few weeks ago I used to be able to run 2 complete loops of Heaven benchmark with the hotspot temp around 98~100º.

(Forgot to mention, it does the same thing on games too!!!)

But now after only 50~55 seconds GPU temp is 75ºC~77ºC and Hotspot temp is 106.5ºC and so the fans go max speed.

I tried with hwinfo and gpuz and the only termp sensors aviables are GPU and Hotspot.

The card have been runing the last 5 years without issues, never been repasted, and so never replaced the thermal pads either.

Anyone know where the hotspot may be?, Could this be Memory or VRMs?

Thank you to anyone who may have stumble with this same problem.

Time to repaste the GPU.

Time to repaste the GPU.

Yeah, I think so too.

You think it may be time for new thermal pads too?, I mean if I take apart the GPU and the pads are not broken, and not dried out, should I worry about them?, Or better start with the chip alone first?

And forgot to mention on original post (Its added already), it does the same thing on some games.

It is one of many sensors on the gpu die.

No. One thing at a time, and if they ain't broke, don't fix 'em.

Could be GPU could be pads breaking down a bit especially under high temps.
