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.
 
Solution
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

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

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.
