[SOLVED] My GPU is overheating

[ScreperisLT]

I need help. My GPU is heating up to 85C. Is it possible for it to get to 70C maximum? The model of GPU is GTX 760 MSI N760-2GD5/OC
Do not say that 85C is a stable temperature. I just wanna know if it is possible to get it to 70C MAXIMUM.

did you dust off the fans and what kind or air flow in he case give us name and model of it .

 

[ScreperisLT]

Case is really old, i don't know model, because there is no sticker or name of manufacturer. I have a case fan that is really loud and when i put hand in the back of the case, i can feel the air, so i dont think this is the fan. And i didn't tried to clean it, because many people say that 80C is normal for this GPU

Cleaning the fans, replacing the thermal paste is a good start if you want the same performance. Otherwise you will be looking at underclocking and undervolting it.

Why is 70c so important?

 

[ScreperisLT]

IDK, the 85C looks too high. I just want it to be stable when i play games like GTA V. I won't monitor the temperature all the time i am playing.

And i have heard that high temperatures shorts GPU life.

You can use MSI Afterburner to undervolt / underclock your graphics card, and / or you can lower the "Temp Limit" to 70'c in Afterburner as well.

That's the only things I can think off, if you don't want to hear that 85'c is perfectly fine.

EDIT: It's a good idea, as mentioned earlier in the thread, to remove dust from the fans and coolers in your case

 

[ScreperisLT]

Ok

 

[scout_03]

could you post a picture of the inside of case where we could the fans in and front panel .

 

[ScreperisLT]

Sure, but first i want to add a Noctua-NF-a12x25 PWM fan. Is it worth it?

 

[ScreperisLT]

Will it cool down a GPU a bit?

That case wasn't designed with any intakes in mind.
All you have are 2 exhausts:
-the obvious rear case fan
-the power supply

The most you can make of that situation is to take it outside, take it apart:
-wipe down the entire case and the fan
-get some of those compressed air cans and blow the dust out of the cpu heatsink, the power supply, and the gpu - especially if you don't want to take it apart.

If the above doesn't help, then the thermal paste over the gpu die has likely exceeded it's lifetime and needs replacing.

 

[ScreperisLT]

What will happen when the temp limit in MSI Afterburner will reach maximum?

 

[Phaaze88]

The gpu thermal throttles - clock speed and voltages drop to reduce temperature.
In the event of a serious cooling issue and temps do not improve after throttling, it will shut the PC off.

Oh, ok.
