Question Question about 2080 Ti Black Edition Gaming ?

[iMatty]

So recently I was only using a dual monitor setup that both of them uses 60hz.
Last night i finally bought a new monitor that supports 165HZ , and this morning when i turned on my PC I noticed that the ideal GPU temp is at around 55C while my GPU temp before i added the 3rd monitor was at around 28-32C.

Is that completely normal? i also enabled the security device support in bios since am thinking about upgrading to windows 11 soon.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My build is:
Motherboard: Msi z370m Mortar
CPU: i5-9600k Overclocked 5.0GHz
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Black
RAM: Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB DDR4 3200MHz 16 GB
GPU: EVGA 2080 Ti Black Edition Gaming
PSU: EVGA Supernova G6 850w

EDIT: to be exact, what is worrying me is that the fans keeps kicking at around 55C-56C and then turn off again. It's just making me worried that it would effect the life span of those fans.
Is there is anything i can do?

Don't know what article you read, but I will say, the lower the temperature, the better.

When the card is not in use, it's completely normal for the card to stay in the 30s(especially when you just start the PC)... it sips power and it does generate a really low amount of heat as a result.

Behavior of the fans is normal. Most modern GPUs have a zero rpm mode. There is a threshold set in the VBIOS of the card where the fans completely stop. Yours is set at 55C apparently.

its just making me worried that it would effect the life span of those fans.

It's exactly the opposite... the card is deliberately stopping the fans to lengthen their lifespan.

its not an article that I read, but since i added the new monitor the ideal temps increased and tbh not sure if i should make a custom.

There's no such thing as an ideal temp. You have a range in which the GPU is supposed to work.

Logical that your temps increased, after all you've added another video output and with that another boat load of pixels your GPU must handle.

As long as the temperatures during load are of no concern, I wouldn't worry.

The behavior you're describing sounds like standard fan stop behavior which I believe MSI started doing first. Basically the fans will be off until the GPU reaches a certain temp and that's typically 55 C. You can check the power consumption on your GPU to make sure it's not too high, but otherwise change the fan curve if you don't like that behavior.

i am well aware of that yes, the only that that worries me is that my gpu fans will spin up for like 200 rpm then off then back on again once it hit 55c again should i be worried that it might make the lifespan of it the gpu fans when it keeps doing that or am i fine that's what I wanna know if not should i do a custom fan curve to spin up after like 58C?

temps during games doing go above 70 which is fine by me

Yeah, that's really decent under load.

You can just override the zero fan thing from MSI Afterburner, if it gets on your nerves.

In settings, select the fan tab there, enable custom adjustment for the fan curve and you'll find a "override zero fan with hardware curve" checkbox. Tick that and adjust the curve so that the fans always spin at the minimum rpm possible at low temps, thus preventing them from stopping.
