[SOLVED] PC Cooling (GPU Heat getting too high)

[JackJordan]

Hey all,

I just got the RTX 2070 today and installed it in my PC and noticed how hot it was making the PC.

I launched GTA 5 (which I run on 'Very High') and the GPU got up to 78 degrees. It made the case very hot and the card became quite noisy.

However, when I took the case off, the temperature dropped to 61 degrees almost immediately and the RPM on the GPU fan dropped substantially.

I've listed my specs below. Is this normal behaviour or do I need to get a new case with better cooling? If so, any reccomendations? I don't want to break the bank after cashing out to get the new card.

Thanks in advance for the help.

CPU: Intel i5-8400
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2070 SUPER Windforce 8GB
PSU: Fractal Design Ion+ 560W
Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-P
Case: BitFenix Neos

A 17C drop is most assuredly a chassis airflow issue. A good chassis shouldn't show more than a 5C difference.

Seems to be an airflow problem, I would recommend an Coolermaster H500M since its one of the best airflow cases
