New mobo raising GPU temps

[Durwesh Naeem]

i am facing a problem which i do not know how to explain, Recently i changed my motherboard, previously i had a micro - ATX motherboard ASRock B75m R2.0 , i now have an Asus sabertooth z77 which is of course an ATX mobo , rest everything is the same . but since the change my gpu temps are higher 5C at stock Clocks , i am so confused all the 6 inflow and exhaust fans are working at 1000+ Rpm yet my temps are higher although this new mobo even has two tiny asisitant fans which maintain air flow in the mobos thermal armor yet my gpu temps are higher .. what is casuing this ? please help

the first picture is of my old mobo and the second one is of my new one

If the temperature are well below the max operating temps then it is fine. Ambient temperature can also have an effect.
There are diminishing returns with more than 2 fans depending on the case. Having more fans does not mean more cooling performance.

Is it below the threshold? Are there performance issues? If not then while it is a conundrum, does it really matter?

to be honest my 980 at stock clocks used to reach 74 C when i ran unigene heaven for 30 mins now it reaches 79C , although there are no performance issues what so ever , but still it is just sad you buy a new mobo and your temps go higher

well my issue has resolved i ran unigene heaven for 10 mins my temps were 71C at stock clocks ,previously when i was facing this issue i ran heaven for 5 mins the temps would reach 78C , a month ago i added the MX-4 thermal compound on my GPU and everything was working fine until i changed my mobo from a B75m to a Z77 a few days ago my gpu started getting hot so today i opened up my GPU, the mx 4 was not dry obviously but it was only on half of the GPU dye which i had previously applied via X method , so i removed the old mx4 with isopropyl alcohol and re appllied it this time in the centre then i spread it over all the GPU dye with my finger which was covered with this plastic bag cut out..... i dont know what had happened if the GPU was not closed properly or the paste was not properly on the dye , but the strange thing is everything was fine before i changed my motherboard, how can a change of motherboard screw up a thermal paste inside a GPU .....this is a mystery

This is so strange I just had the same thing happen so far as the mother board change. My temps went up about 8-10c. My best guess was that because the Pcie slot for the gpu is now lower, because of the larger Mobo, that it has approximately 30 cubic inches less space below it. Although if yours was just the thermal past perhaps that is not it. Anyhow I am doing the same today, putting some MX4 on the GPU die. Glad I saw your thread!
