[SOLVED] what should be the idle temperature of GPU while browsing the internet?

[drshanny]

my gpu is always above 60 C even when m just browsing the internet. is it idle temperature or should be around 50 C. THANKS

what GPU do you have?

My RTX 2070 always below 50C at idle and if it goes over it does go much higher

What is air flow like in case? Could be not enough air flow to blow the heat away.

my gpu is zotac gtx 1060 6gb dual fan. it has got good airflow I guess.

• could be the fan only starts spinning at 60c - link

It appears 60c is fairly normal for the card, you could run MSI Afterburner and set a custom fan curve so its always running to increase time it takes to get to 60. I used to do that on my 980 in summer.
