I purchased an ASUS DUAL OC RTX 3070 when they were released. After a while of using it, I have noticed my pc gets very hot compared to my old 1080ti (which only had a single fan).

When playing games, I reach 85c sometimes. With the case open (side panel off) it reaches around 74c.
(46c IDLE)

This seems awfully high for a card that's advertised with an all new and improved "Axial-tech Fan Design" and low db.

Could this be a faulty card or is this fine?

PS:
I have 2 intake fans at the front of my case, 1 exhaust at the back, an intake at the bottom and AIO intake radiator at the top.

Cheers,
Danny

Considering the dual fan solution on that card I'd say the temps are expected. My overclocked 2070 with a dual fan setup, which reached 220W under load, also peaked at 82C. An OCd 3070 draws more power. My triple fan RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio only peaks at 65C with averages of 63C and 42% max fan speed.

That you drop 11C under load from removing the side panel is often telling of weak chassis airflow or improper fan setup. Sometimes there is more to it than that, but we need more info from you.

The idle does not matter much; it is the balance of chassis airflow and the air temp inside it, which is always warmer than in your room. Oh, and whether or not the card has a 0rpm fan profile...

On my desktop at IDLE my mainboard temps are running at 38c (with side panel on)

My desktop under load, my mainboard temps are running at 40 - 42c (with side panel on)

Fans always are (and to my knowledge, always have been) spinning, but it does show up in HWmonitor as (minimum 0rpm) so that might have snuck past me.

I will include a snippet of my HWmonitor under load.

I almost think we are looking for a problem where there isn't any.
NVidia rates that card to 93C.
You are only peaking at 84C.
I run three NVidia cards and all run at 82C.

That would be great if its true, I was just wondering if this card should be reaching temperatures of that high, as stated in my original post.

Hey, sorry this is unrelated but I loved watching your Rust videos back in the day, crazy to see you here lol

While 85c is safe it will reduce boost speed compared to 74c. As removing the side panel reduces the max temperature by 11c (that’s significant) there is clearly some airflow limitation. While you may never get the same temperature with the side on I would not expect such a significant difference if there is good airflow.

750D, huh? Ok, now it's starting to make sense... combined with the fact that Dual is like Asus' middle of the road cooling solution.

The 750D preinstalled fans are airflow fans.
Why they went with that instead of static pressure focused fans is beyond me, considering they put a filter and solid panel right in front of them with lil' gaps around the edges to breathe... assuming you haven't replaced them with anything else by now.


But, considering another member here has one, I figure your results are typical.

I have actually swapped out all the fans, but they aren't the best either, I will probably get another case at some point in the future.

Ok just did a non scientific test on my system running Port Royal benchmark. I’m running a 3080 Gaming OC in a Vector RS case, a case with mediocre airflow especially as I use the glass top and not the grill. I ran the benchmark with the side on and the gpu peaked at 68c. I then took the side off, let it sit for a few minutes and re-ran the benchmark. The gpu peaked at 67c. Now I am not saying you should be expecting similar but equally a 11c difference is a sign of a problem.

Temps look high to me - I have the same Asus card. My temps are more in line with what Sizzling mentions about (mid high 60's under load). PM'd you

I just ran 3Dmark Port Royal and Time Spy after using my computer for 12 hours straight for work - max GPU temperature was 67C with GPU fan maxing at 1,773 rpm (73%), max power at 239.2w, GPU clock at 1,950mhz.

Separately my CPU peaked at 64.9c (its a Ryzen 3900XT cooled by a Kraken X63)

I doubt this has anything to do with it, but every Asus RTX 3070 Dual OC card comes with a small paper card in the box (size of a baseball card) which gives your specific card a number of stars and a number of bars for OC potential and thermals. Some have 1 star and 2 bars, others have 3 starts and 4 bars... luck of the draw - but absolutely no idea what impact this has in reality though if any at all. What does yours say?

WHAT. That's a thing now?
Geezus... I could see that having a huge impact on whether or not someone wanted to keep a 2 star card...

Yep, seems crazy to me that they would include something like that. Fortunately mine says 3 stars and 4 bars (which is the highest I've seen online), otherwise I'd be mad.. but as I said it might be meaningless.

Mine says 2 OC and 2 Heat Dissipation, surely you could just complain if thats the case tho right? Cant get a significantly different product compared to someone else when you pay for the same thing?

Completely agree with you. Mine has 3 stars, and 4 bars each for Overclocking and Heat Dissipation. Yours is 2 bars each and how many stars? I'd email / call them if I were you
