Hi!

I recently bought a MSI 1070 Aero OC and i think it performs reaaaaally good compared to my old XFX HD7850. But this afternoon i did a benchmark in the divison on ultra, performed really good with good fps, but i noticed that the gpu temp was reaaaally high, 82c!!!

Is this actually dangerously high? it doesnt really seem to go over this temperature but it doesnt really matter what game i play, it reaches 82c and stays there pretty solid. I've heard that nvidia has a function called GPUBoost, and my graphics card has this function. What it does is it basically boost the gpu until it hits a certain temperature, then it will throttle down a bit and fans go max and try to cool it down. Also I've heard that most of nvidias cards slows down when it goes around 85c celsius. I ran the unigine heaven benchmark on the gpu and it rose to from around 50c (thats the idle temp) to 82 and pretty much stayed there.

I've spent a lot on this gpu and i really dont want it do die.

Thanks in advance

That is perfectly normal for a blower style cooler. The temperature target on the card is 83c. As you mentioned GPU boost 3.0 wamts to run the highest boost clock at the lowest fan speed to stay under 83c. It will decrease thee boost clock or increase the fan speed as needed to stay just below 83c. You can always create a custom fan curve to lower the temperatures but the card is performing as intended.

Thank you for the answer, Im a lot less worriad now. Did i mention that i ran the heaven benchmark at basic settings (but fullscreen)? I did not run that benchmark on ultra or high, only medium. Still nothing to worry about? My friend has my old gpu (hd 7850) and has lower temps than me, but same fps on Rainbow six siege. Dont know his settings though. But what i want to know is, is it still nothing to worry about and hpw do i lower the target temp on gpuboost and/or should i?

I wouldn't worry about it. Even the aftermarket cooled cards run no fans until they reach 60c and run 75c to 78c under load with fan speed in the 40% range, so the heat doesn't seem to be an issue they are concerned with.

It's not the settings that cause a card to get hot, but the usage. I have also noticed that higher FPS at the same usage, tends to be hotter than lower FPS. Basically this means as long as you are not bottlenecked by anything, lowering settings often raises your temps.

As has been mentioned already, the card is meant to hit 82C. It's extremely common for that temp on reference cards.
