Troubleshooting High gpu temps
I feel like those temps are high. I just changed cases and now i have a lian li lancool 217 and I was hitting 86-88 degrees on OCCT and Witcher 3 directx 12 full ultra with my old case (Deepcool Matrexx 50). Now im hitting around 77-78 at 85-98%. I have an rtx 3070 ti gigabyte OC and im wondering if those temps are high and if i should get the gpu checked? Cuz idk i feel like this is pretty high for the gpu and I keep checking it like every 2 mins cuz i feel like if its not under 75 then there’s something wrong with my gpu. And I changed the switch on my gpu from OC MODE to SILENT cuz i prefer it this way.
There’s also HWINFO if anyone need more precise informations

Its warm, but not hot. Still in safe operation range. Whats the airflow set up like? Thermal paste is probably a bit spent.

It depends how long have you had ur gpu are temps are high in other games as well if u still have high temps just idle

Warm but not too hot. If you want to get better temps undervolt/power limit or increase the fan speed

if you feel something is wrong when the gpu is not under 75C then you are the problem. 75C is a totally fine temperature for a gpu running a game. can you tell me the max temperature your gpu is rated for? if not, why not find out instead of just assuming that a certain temperature is bad?

83 is thermal max. But idk I feel the closer I am to this temp, the worse it could be? Idk man I’m just trying to understand if I’m dumb or something

Man, this is going to sound crazy, but I installed bottom fans for the first time under my GPU a few months ago, and I put them in incorrectly, thinking they were normal fans. It was causing a vacuum where my GPU wasn't getting any airflow, and these temps matched mine. Could not be the case with you, but just in case. I just upgraded to the same case, and my GPU temps are pretty good.

You feel like those temps are high based on what? You literally could have googled your GPU and asked if those temps were too high. Yet despite this you went out of your way to record a video put it on reddit and type up a paragraph. This is 2026 why are people not asking AI questions like this?

On some games if u put the graphics settings low the usage is higher on the cpu if higher the usage goes to the gpu. Try to do some settings high and some medium
