Question temperature problem in rtx 4070s card

[pablo77_7]

My gainward 4070s panther card bought in july 2024.

first tests after purchase:
room temperature 26 degrees
hot spot temp: 77, fan speed 1500rpm

test october 2024
room temp 21 degrees
hot spot: 87, fan speed 1650rpm

Is it normal for the paste to dry in such a short time?

ive never had a card's paste or pads go bad over the 15 or so years i've been using strictly dedicated cards, most in use for ~2-3years each.

maybe if this is a seriously generic construct it would happen.

but, I also never run my cards hotter than ~65° at max.

What temp does the card idle at?
How is the air flow in the case?
How dusty is the case?
Try taking the side panel off and see if the card runs cooler

The thermal paste should definitely still be there. It could be the result of insufficient airflow. What is your current case? What temperature does the card run at when idle? Alternatively, you could install GPU tweak III and manually increase fan speed within safe parameters.
