GTX 1060 6gb problem! help asap please

[Kain_2]

Hey i was running a gtx 1050 ti 4gb and it went well, then i thought it was time for a upgrade so i jumped to a gtx 1060 6gb and after installing it and playing games i noticed my case was getting super hot so i took the side panel off, made sure all the fans were working and its still hot? its only sitting at 50 - 60 degrees which is fine but i have my side panel off, and 4 fans running and the gpu is burning hot! i touch it a tiny bit and my hand burns and its only when i play games, its cool when doing normal tasks

What's the temp when playing games?

 

[Kain_2]

idle is 50, games 65-70 after 30 minutes of playing and i know thats not bad but my gpu is burning hot

 

[volkgren]

70C is 158F, yes that is hot to the touch. Don't touch it. Your temps are fine.

70 is fine, start to pay attention at 85+ anything below that and you are not in trouble.

is it meant to be burning hot though?

Burning hot is only something that you feel, these are electronic components they are burning a lot of energy which comes out as heat.

So yes it's fine, stop touching it until it hits 85 don't be concerned. So put the car w back together and enjoy it.

stop touching it, the temps are fine. Its drawing over 100w of power so its going to create heat. Would you touch a 100w light bulb once its heated up?

these gpu temps are perfectly fine
but dont touch them because they are hot for a hand but good for a gpu
