Hi all,
I recently built my first self-built PC with the following components:
CPU: i5-9600k
Cooler: Cryorig H7
MoBo: MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC
GPU: MSI 2070 Super Ventus OC
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 Mhz
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Nvme
PSU: Corsair TX550M
Case: Fractal Design R6
Monitor: Acer Predator x34p (1440p UW)
Performance wise I am extremely happy with the overall build, even though I have only played CS:GO and World of Warcraft Classic so far. The GPU might be overkill for my needs, but I wanted it to comfortably drive the x34p at 100-120 herz, which it does flawlessly. However, I expected it to run a little cooler and quieter at these older games (both at max settings). In CS:GO the card went to 69-72 degrees within 15-30 minutes of play (FPS not capped, 200+ constantly) and in WoW Classic to around 68-70 degrees (FPS capped at 100, constantly at that FPS), at which point the card is definitely hearable. When idling, it is unnoticeable at 33 degrees. So here are my questions:
1. Are there other users of the MSI 2070 Super Ventus OC on here that have experienced similar temperatures? Are these temperatures normal for these kind of games and am I expecting too much?
2. Am I right in thinking that I could possibly reduce the temperatures and noise levels by removing the stock overclock without noticing the difference in performance due to the games being rather old? If so, is it only going to be 2-3 degrees or a noticeable difference?
I am still in the return period and would thus really appreciate any feedback . Thanks!!
