Hey Guys,

So first i was just curious if getting a max temp of 63c after a couple hours of Rocket league is normal? Mostly high settings, some things are turned off. I idle at 32c.

Also is there anything i need to do to tweak the fan settings? I have to run a more intensive game to get an idea like skyrim remastered or something to see what temps i get, but do the fans do what they need to out of the box? Or is there something i should i be tweaking?

I downloaded EVGA precision X but wasn't sure i should or needed to mess with it.....

Thanks in advance!

63C is well under the throttle point of the GPU. It is set at 83C as I recall.

Yes, a more power demanding game should show higher numbers. But it will boost up as high as it thinks it can go if it is within temperature and power limits.

As long as you can tolerate the fan noise, no adjustments are necessary. If you want more performance you can try overclocking which is something EVGA Precision will let you do. Basically increase the power limit, and add a clock offset on the core, see where it is stable. Then do the same for memory. For noise sake you can leave the temp limit alone or adjust that up as well. An increase in fan speed is advised if you do that.

Pascal likes to stay cool, so the cooler you run it the higher the...

Pascal likes to stay cool, so the cooler you run it the higher the average clock frequencies you will see. Don't trade a high boost clock for a quickly throttling card.
