Question NVIDIA GTX 3060TI Gets Hot and Shuts The Computer Down

[rgbtv]

So I try to play games like red dead redemption, Ark Ascended and the GPU load goes up to 100% and then the temperature rises up to 180 degrees fahrenheit. After about 2 minutes of playing the computer restarts itself, I'm assuming because its overheating. Does anyone know what I should do? I have 5 fans in the computer and put them on high.

Please use Celsius measurement here. 180F = ~82C. Gpu core is up there, but not enough to shut off.
What is the hot spot getting up to?
Apevia doesn't have good rep on psus, so that unit might be crapping itself under heavier load.

It gets up to 82C. How would I check the psus? Other games don't get up to that temperature..

The gpu core AND its hot spot get up to 82C? I think this is a first.
Gpu temperature reading you see from software is an average.
Hot spot is the report from the hottest sensor on the gpu die.

You check for reviews. Then there's the less reliable, but better than nothing psu tier lists, like this one: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ (some of them are decided based on existing reviews, so it's not entirely hogwash)

Well, it should be expected that not all games run your hardware the same. So RDR pushing the card/psu harder than some of the other titles you play is nothing unusual.

how do I check the temperature on the hottest sensor?

You can use Gpu-Z(sensors tab) or hwinfo(sensors only).
