Hello everyone.
I've started to monitor my GPU temps lately, as I've decided to OC it to somewhere around 1450/3800 and I noticed my temps are quite high, idle is 53-58°C (fans always at 0%) load is 83°C (fans around 83%).
I thought it was all from the dust that build up in my case, so I decided to clean it. After a thorough cleaning and making sure there is very little/no dust inside the case, especially around the GPU I decided to test the temps again.
It seems nothing has changed, temps are still somewhere around 50-53°C (fans still at 0%) at idle after a bit when PC started then slowly rising to 58°C , and load is 82°C (fans still at 83%).
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this ?
Here is my system:
CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.5 GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4
RAM: Patriot G2 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz
PSU: SuperFlower Leadex Gold 650W
Case: Fractal Design Define R5
Monitor: Asus MG279Q (2560x1440, 144hz)
The clocks of the GPU are at:
135/405 when idle 1350/3500 when gaming (GPU boosts itself)
There is 1 intake fan and 1 exhaust fan in my case. I unfortunately don't know my room temps since I don't have a thermometer, and the outside is 35°C some the room gets heated up a little.
Some folk also have said that having a 144hz monitor increases the GPU temps since it renders more frames , is there any truth to this ?
All of this was tested in a slightly cool room, on Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor on everything maxed out (with HD Content installed) @ 1440p for around 5-10 minutes.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce temps ?
