[SOLVED] Optimal temperature for an MSI GT1030 LP (Non-passive)

[popenona]

Hey guys, I have a gt1030 which I’ve been using for a while now. The normal temperatures are about 40 degrees Celsius but when I run a game they go up to 80+. Is that okay? i do have a sff pc and the card is sorta tight fit. So, there not a lot room for airflow. Will this decrease the lifespan or are these temps fine? Thanks!

Quite normal temperatures, considering you're running in a SFF case. What's the case specifically?

It won't decrease the lifespan of the card as that's still within the safe temperature margins of the card.

It’s a prebuilt dell 3010, I toasted my build so had to get a backup. Saving for a good pc now. Thanks mate! This was my first gpu to reach 80+, so it was sorta alarming.

Yeah, that's really restricted in terms of airflow... not much you can do.
