When I boot my computer I'm under 30 C. With just MSI After Burner, Razor Synapse, Steam and AI Suite running in back round with several basic webpages I'm around 35 C. I also have MSI afterburner setup to run faster as GPU gets hotter, I got a physical fan controller with every fan at max, a side panel fan feeding right into the graphics, and have zero OCing. I've cleaned out dust multiple times
Problem: Under Task Manager's Performance, Even if my CPU usage is under 10%, anytime my Memory gets above 50% my graphics get into +40 C. If I get Memory usage into 60% I hit over 50 C on my graphics and this isn't even while gaming. Then last night, while playing Rise of Tomb Raider, I played for an hour or two, and my AI Suite told me my CPU was at 70 C. My CPU was always +10 C under my GPU any other time I've ever looked, and since yesterday its been consistently above equal to it.
Questions:
1) Will expanding from 8gb to 16gb keep my graphics card from heating up? I assumed my graphics overheating is directly tied to my memory and I'm sure my graphics head is reason why my CPU has been hot.
2) Is there a way to make both fans on my 390x run, cause the second one only kicks in around 60 C, I don't mind the noise cause my office is nothing but quiet.
3) I'm using stock Wraith Cooler, and my case is kind of old. I'm just wondering how much performance in cooling I'd see for my Graphics Card, by getting a bigger case with a better CPU cooler?
4) Anything that isn't mentioned that might be of use? I mean my cool device from the Sharper Image store says my room temperature is 20 C.
Specs:
CM 690 II Case (CM fans in front and back, 2 up top and 1 on side)
FX8370 (using the stock Wraith Cooler which is suppose to be as good as aftermarket)
Gskill 8gb 1866 RAM
XFX 390x
Asus M5A99FX
WD Black for OS
