[SOLVED] GTX 970 80 degrees 100% fan speed

[vodliedood]

So I got a gtx 970 for 100$ used. It's the jetstream model and I'm pretty sure it's one of the better coolers. Putting it at 100% load in valley on 100% fan speed it reaches 80 degrees celsius which isn't really that good of a sign. Thermal paste is fine same thing with the fans... What could be the cause of this issue? Airflow in my case is just fine

this kind of cooler takes air from case and pushes it back in case, poor case airflow will make temperature go high
u can do small test, remove side panel from case and see if temperature drops

Nothing wrong really with 80C running a stress test.

That temp seems fine to me and I would leave it be if I wasn't having problems.

Took it off, no difference

The thing is that it's reaches that temp on max fan speed. If I put my 1070 on max fan speed it won't go over 50 degrees

All I'm saying is it seems fine to me.
I'm running a GTX 1060, a GTX 1080 and an RTX 2080 Ti and all of the peak at 82C at 100% usage and 100% fan in large cases.
