Question My GTX 1070 is reaching 80°C is it normal ?

[Garfield921]

Hello, i just got a used gigabyte G1 GTX 1070 (3fan vers) and i tested it on red dead redemption (with the upscale res settings) for like 1-2 hours and when i checked the temp it was doing back and forth between 75-81°C.
I'm not a professional so i just wanted to know if it was normal for a 1070 to reach 81° or did i just got scammed ?
sorry if that sounds like a stupid question.

Not unusual.

Not unusual.

i have between 48-54° on idle too (idk if it's normal),
Will it last a few more years at this temperature when i'm playing or is it at the end of its life? ?
because i saw a lot of videosand their gpu are around 70° maximum, sometimes around 65°.
Thank you for the quick reply.

There are way too many variables to assume that a good temperature somewhere ought to be the same as a good temperature somewhere else.

81 degrees for a GPU is nothing unusual and only load temperature actually matters. Without an actual reason to worry, it's best to not worry.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

I use to sli 1070s, 80c was about the norm for them, I never really seen hotter, well I did when our central air quit working and I had to get a game of battlefield in and it was probably around 100F in the house lol.

it could be time to buy 2 case fans and if that doesnt help replace the thermal paste...
if you are weary, pay a shop to do it.

Otherwise just accept it or pull the side off your pc or just keep it going as is, which ultimately is fine.
