My GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC 4G is running at 60 degrees Celsius in idle desktop mode and 64 to 70 degrees while playing Crysis 3 in ultra high settings mode. These thermal results were obtained when system case was open and GPU fan speed % on factory preset curve. GPU voltage is auto set to 0,731V. I can only get to 48 degrees in turbo fan speed mode. Room temperature is 24 degrees C.

Reviewer in techpowerup got much lower results: 46 C in idle and 64 C under load. Measured Voltage was only 0,675 V

Reviewer at Vortez even got only 31/61 degrees:

Even lowering GPUs clock for 200 Mhz (to 1192Mhz) doesn't help lowering temperatures.

Is something wrong with my GPU? I'm running four monitors at 1920x1200px resolution on it. Could this be the reason for higher temperatures then reviewers?

Yes try to run only one monitor and see if it gets cooler. 4 monitors for a 1050 is alot especially when gaming. If thats not the case check CPU temps. If they are also high you case might just need better airflow.

Change the curve to change idle.temps not that they matter at all. Idle temps are merely fan speed and ambient temperature. If you want low idles either jack up the ac or speed the fan up. I bet the fans don't come on until 60°C in it's current curve.

I've just tried it by turning off 3 of them. I didn't affect temperatures at all. Should I pull out cables from GPU?

I can get temps down to 48 degrees but only with aggressive fan speed curve (aka fans spinning all the time in idle). Reviewers said that their fans were off in idle. I also don't know why their voltage is lower. Cards are the same, should be voltage also the same?

Not necessarily. Drivers and all sorts of things mess with voltages. Not to mention some companies send better cards to reviewers... As I said at the beginning idle temps mean squat. I suspect the reviewers likely had a lower Ambient temp and better overall airflow as well.

Yes they had lower temperatures by 4 degrees. Oh well, I'll make a compromise by running card in idle at lower clock speeds and manually lower voltage to get card completely silent with stable temperatures and crank everything up when gaming. It's a shame though, I was really hoping card would run in zero fan mode in idle as all reviewers stated it does. Looking at fan speed meter and temperatures it really doesn't.

I can confirm now that 4 monitor setup is to blame for high GPU temperatures. When I pull 3 monitor's cables out of GPU, idle temperatures fall to 41 grad Celsius and GPU voltage lowers to 0,675 V. It's interesting to see 20 degrees temperature increase just because multiple monitors are used. I didn't find that info in any review I've read. Maybe that's why 6 to 8 outputs pro cards are so heavily underclocked.
