Is my GPU too hot?

sirmaysin · Jul 6, 2018

I have the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING, 6GB ACX 2.0 (Single Fan) which is not overclocked and when I run Witcher 3 on Ultra settings (optimized setting through GeForce experience program) I reach a max temp of 82c. Should I be concerned of this temp? If so what can I do to fix this? Is my only option to turn down the graphics? Would more case fans make a significant difference? I have the Phanteks P400 with stock fans turned to 100% 1 in front and 1 rear. What can I do? (if 82c should be a concern)

CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
MOBO - Gigabyte b350 Gaming 3
RAM - Patriot Viper DDR4 3000mhz (2x4gb)
PSU - EVGA 500B 80+

Usually single fan are hot, I think by default from nvidia by temp limit is 83*C, but real max temp without any throttling nor damaging would be ideally under 90*C.
82*C shouldnt be concern.

Thank you, I'm just in such a big debate because everything I find online people are saying it's fine, others say it should be lower. If it's fine that's awesome, but would still like to get it lower of course, so I will order some more fans for airflow. But do you think I should mess with the GPU fan curve in the BIOS? Btw this is my first ever PC build, put it together about 2 weeks ago so still have much to learn.

Dont touch the GPU bios.
The issue is that people are saying the temps should be lower cause the GPU boost 3.0 is working under 60*C, but you can manually overclock that.
You can also when you install MSI Afterburner, you can increase power limit and temp limit.
Also you can downvolt a bit the GPU or lower the power limit by a bit but still get same perfomance (I have never tried).
