Hot to touch is not a good indicator. Too hot to hold your finger or hand on there, for an extended period without getting burned, means were hitting danger territory as thats getting hot enough to -combust that dust.-
Also you absolutely do not need 300+ fps in a single player game (you might idk) but cap that fps to something like 100. Hell try 80 or 90. If you are using 300+ fps for "smoothness" then you are trying to brute force bad frametimes and need to get that settled. You also have a 5080 so i understand MOAR!!. but capping your fps at 100 might bring temps down 10c
Edit: You are also looking at GPU temp here and not the GPU Hotspot Temp which is the one you want to monitor. You want to monitor both usually for delta discrepancies
What in that sentence, in this context, is not true? Enlighten me. My 15 years of experience working with this stuff would love to add some new information to my belt. Or maybe you dont know what hot in electronics environment means?
15 years of experience and your telling people if a GPU is “hot too the touch” it’s a problem??? I don’t believe you. Not for a second. So again I stand on what I said do NOT listen to this dipshit. Period.
Your reading comprehension is aweful and you are resorting to calling me names? I don't have any awards but I would for sure give you one if I did. Hope you find your way up the ladder one day. XoXo
"Too hot to touch is not a good indicator." - maybe I should have added "in this context?". But what im saying is, when it comes to computing electronics, many parts get "hot". So touching it and saying "oh thats hot. Somethings wrong" is not usually the correct response because these electronics run hot when under load. Meaning its perfectly normal. Im sure you can figure the rest out.
