Hello guys ,
So I built my pc 2 days ago and I noticed that my MSI GTX 970 was not getting the FPS that it should. I went to benchmark my PC and under the GPU tab it said that my GPU was "way below expectations 7th percentile" which was really bad considering I just build this yesterday . Anyway I did some troubleshooting and saw my gpu temps at Idle were 58c and when gaming around the high 70's low 80's which is way to high for comfort . A person on this forum told me it should be around 25-30c when idle . I was wondering if the temps is why my GPU wasnt getting the fps it should and I went ahead and bought 3 fans and I have opened up my GPU and am going to apply some thermal paste . Do you think this could be the problem of my FPS View: https://imgur.com/a/SFXUPDN
. Is this how the thermal paste should look? And do you guys have any other ideas on why my gpu is underperforming or is this the only reason . Thanks!
