Question Is 83C too high a temp for 2060

[Giant_Sniper246]

I have just bought a gigabyte rtx 2060 oc 1850mhz and with msi afterburner I set a more aggressive fan curve and I get max 83 C while playing rainbow six on ultra. Is this a massive issue as 83 seems way to hot for a gpu. I previously had a 1050ti and that got to 60c when being pushed super hard. Thanks for any help

yes that is too high and will cause gpu throttling my RTX 2070 @1950MHz doesnt go above 65c in the most gpu demanding games , How is your case airflow and cable management ? would you share a picture ?

Hi sorry for the late reply. This is my fan setup. The rear fan for my aio is drawing cool air from outside through radiator and into the case. I am not sure if this is the best setup for my build.

Can you post your PC's specs? The image is broken on my end.

Sure.

And ryzen 7 2700x with aio.
Gigabyte rtx 2060
16gb 3000mhz ddr4
Msi b450 gaming plus.
1tb hdd and 120gb m.2
CIT raider PC case.

The fan layout is 3 intake at front.
2 at the top are out.
1 at rear is where aio is and blowing air in.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

The one in the rear should be blowing the air thru the radiator out, never in. Back and top fans should always be blowing out. That could explain why your gpu is building up that temp while playing... You are accumulating hot air inside the case...

you are basicly creating a dead zone under your gpu in this configuration
as mentioned above the rear should be in an exhaust configuration for better airflow , but another issue is that this case has very poor airflow due to having the front glass panel too close to the intake fans , users reported a drop of 15-20c in thermals by removing the front glass panel

Aesthetics vs performance ahaha. That's true

All of what Mezoxin said.
That front panel is a big Oof.

I wouldn't say never.
There are some odd configurations where it works. This isn't one of them, though.

Then they must be really odd because air dynamics shows us that heat goes up and usually, in normal atx cases the back fan is in the upper side of the case... And I doubt it would be a good idea to send the radiator heat inside the case rather than outside.
The only case the back fan would help being inwards, would be without a radiator and with an upper fan to help extract. This helps a lot your passive VRM heatsink to cool down and support higher loads without throttling the cpu
