[SOLVED] GPU running hot after a gaming section, is this normal?

mike2012 · Jan 3, 2017

I have the GTX 1050. I noticed after a long benchmarking session; that when I exited the program, the GPU was around 50c. It took around 5 minutes to get back down to 40c.

My GPU has this thing where it turns the fan off while idle.

Is it normal for the GPU to take that long to cool down?

Also, should I put my GPU fan on while idle?

If the fan is off, it's normal for it to take a while to cool down, yes.

Whether to use the fan-off feature is up to you, depends whether the subtle noise of the fan running at low speed annoys you.

That's normal. Benchmarking is designed to stress the GPU. Almost every 10 series card has stop-fan technology.

The 1050 is not a high-end card so won't have high-end cooling so yes it is going to run a little hotter than more high end cards, and the cooldown is not bad, its a little slower than normal but nothing to worry about.

The fan should automatically be off on idle after it cools down sufficiently.

Your fans won't spin until your Gpu reaches a specific temperature. It is normal. Also, i hope that you are not touching your Gpu and hope that you are just monitoring using softwares. If you are concerned about your idle Gpu temps, the next session you turn on your Pc, open up the 3rd party software you are using and check its idle temp.

I think you're right. My GPU fans don't spin until the GPU reaches 60c.

However, I've noticed that sometimes, I'll even see 50-58c idle. Are these temps still okay? The GPU still doesn't go above 66c while gaming.

Disable Nvidia services but keep Nvidia Display Container Service. Press windows key + R > type services.msc > right click on each service and click on properties> Stop > change startup type to disabled. Please remember that you SHOULD NOT disable the display container service. when you disable them, restart your PC and check your GPU's temperature at idle and post the results.

Hmm, I'll try that. Is it also possible I could just a custom fan profile for the GPU? I could have the fans run at low speed idle and then ramp up during gaming.

Pkai92 · Jan 9, 2017

Yes you can make a custom fan profile for your Gpu using Msi Afterburner. But at idle, you shouldn't have those temps. Try what i said and if you want any help you are more than welcome to ask.

Those are pretty low temps actually, you usually see a GPU working in the 70s range.

Pkai92 · Jan 9, 2017

Yes they are low but his idle temps shouldn't be in the 50's range so that is why i suggested that he disables Nvidia's unnecessary services and then check if the idle temps will decrease.

That's not low at all, maybe for 1050's but my 1080 runs at benchmark loads less than 65C with the stock fan profile, with my custom profile it never goes over 50, and at idle its like 33..

Well I was able to fix the overheating problem guys. My GTX 1050 is a Gigabyte version. The CD that came with the Gigabyte card, included overclocking software. In this overclocking software; you can disable the "0rpm" thing and make the fan run at 20% idle automatically.

Since I disabled the "0rpm" thing in the Gigabyte program; my GPU is now running at 27c idle.

Glad it was solved.
