GTX 1080 running hot (70c+ Idle)

[afdjones]

Got a new computer today, built at the store. When I got home and turned it on noticed it was fairly loud, just figured it was normal. However when i launched a game, the game ran fine for a couple minutes and then began to lag like crazy, after a few minutes of being totally confused my screen just went black, and my monitor said no display. However i could still hear sounds from the game and coming from my mates on teamspeak. Now i checked online, and checked my temps and by the sounds of it 70c idle on my brand new 1080 isnt normal? So im figuring the issues i had earlier in game with the lag was because of high temps?

Specs: Intel Core i7 @ 4.20GHz 37 °C
Kaby Lake 14nm Technology
RAM
32.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1600MHz (16-18-18-36)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z270X-Ultra Gaming-CF (U3E1) 28 °C
Graphics
BenQ XL2430T (1920x1080@144Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (MSI) 62 °C

Any ideas if this is the case and if these temps are normal? Any help would be appreciated

EDIT: Just tried playing a game and the temp is at 95c

What case are you using and which 1080 from MSI is this exactly? And a 1080 definitely does not have 4095 MB of VRAM. It has 8192 MB. Are you sure this is a GTX 1080?

The lowest I saw it idle was 62c but its usually around 70c, and when playing a game its around 95c

Something is definitely not right here. Could you send some screens of the GPU temps while on load and while idle?

When I say ambient temps I mean the temperature of the surrounding environment, i.e. your house or room.

HAHAHAHA i found the problem. Opened the case and it was full of bubble protective wrapping. That was stopping the fans from moving and air from flowing. Im stupid. Case closed.

Lol. Good thing you found the issue! Next time, better check that you unwrap every component before building a PC 😛
