High GPU Idle Temps

[hamzahalaweh]

I recently got a new Gaming PC, and my Asus GTX 1060 6 GB seems to be idling on around 55 degrees, I checked the temps on Speccy, it looks like my idle temps are much higher than other people.

I run a Xigmatek Eden case with only one chassis fan, do you think putting more chassis fans would solve the problem? Im open to any solutions.

Plus, do you think there is a more relaible software to check temps?

Thanks!

Installing more case fans will yes improve temps. Good to have equal amount of case fans

Maybe 2 fans taking air in and 1 taking it out or 3 fans taking air and 3 taking air out

When it's on idle the fans keep turning on/off and GPU temp stays at 55, is there any other reason for such a high idle temperature?

What fans. Case or GPU ( GPU most likely ) And how many case fans are installed

There is 1 case fan, and the GPU fans keep turning on/off

1 case fan total is not enough and thats probably why. There is low air flow going through the case.
Purchase more case fans. At least 2 taking air in and 1 taking air out

1 in and 1 out will be minimum nowadays
Check your gpu temp underload as well

How do i check my temp underload, and where would be the locations of in and out fans?

Thanks!

Where is the current fan located? Mine has 1 rear in and 1 top out and work fine. MSI afterburner is a good tool to track temp in games. Also it allows you to customize a fan curve for your gpu to bring down temp further.

Then add one on top.

How do I set a fan curve for the GPU in MSI afterburner?

Check your speed. If its high then maybe but its mostly case fans, dont have any air quckily being let out so air finds its way out from open gaps

Get 2 fans taking air in and 1 taking air out for good cooling throughout the system

Again, get a 2nd fan first.

I created a GPU fan curve, and temperature seem to be alright for now, will get a 2nd fan later this week. Is it mandatory to have another case fan before I use the GPU fan curves
