What can I do if the GPU gets too hot?

I've noticed recently that if I play a few games (be it Minecraft, Fortnite or even Bo3), the GPU often fluctuates between 70-80 degrees or partially (though less often) heats up above the 80 degree mark. My PC also has enough distance to the wall. I appreciate every reply.

PS: The temperature is at normal load about 30-40 degrees (and even as extra: by the way, the CPU is not warmer than 50 degrees at full load)

Ha

And where is the problem? 80 ° C are fine.

You could renew the thermal grease of the GPU, let the fans spin faster, install better fans in the case or even put a case with very good airflow.

So I thought that would be bad because I always hear that 65-70 degrees would be normal because of that. Or are now almost 80 degrees still normal and I should not worry?

Ha

What is normal does not matter. Depending on the GPU, it may be between 83-95 ° C hot.

My graphics card overclocks until it wanes, for example. Runs at full load at about 55 ° C, but is also water cooled.

Okay, thanks for your answer. Is currently my first gaming PC that's why I often worry unnecessarily… Beautiful morning / day still But I'll trdz. Change the thermal paste because the GPU is needed and it probably would not hurt

If you are looking for a good one, I can recommend it here: https://geizhals.de/...at&hloc=de

1g is very little. It may only be enough for the GPU and that's it. But the best thermal compound that there's.

Okay thank you!

80 degrees is already pretty much.
60 degrees under full load at about 21 degrees outside temperature is more normal.

What is cooler for that?
Sounds like boxed cooler. They are no good

Or there's something wrong with the wlp

Heat accumulation in the housing?

But should be clarified

For a laptop, 80 degrees would not be anything out of the ordinary.

To help you, you might need your hardware ;-)

Sounds like the card is too weak for the games.

co

GPU, not CPU.

Oh, read. Yes 80 degrees are perfectly fine xD

So first, my question has already been answered. But trdz. I like to go on it again. Unzwar erstmal I have a desktop PC, no laptop or something. In the hardware, I could tell you on the fast that my CPU is an i5-8500 and the GPU GTX 460th Thirdly, yes, yes the card is also older. Although this probably does not reach the grade number of 70-80 at Minecraft, that never measured. But anyway, I'll soon have a 750ti and then it goes without saying.

Do

So my CPU is actually fine (I've already noticed that you have read, does nothing). It reaches under full load just the temperatures of 50 degrees. Will me trdz. For safety times in the future times a better cooler hollow. Damage usually never does.

Would not change the fan. Switching the fan on a graphics card is very much more complex than just the CPU fan. The GPU fan sits on different chips, all of which need to be lubricated with WLP and then the fan must fit snugly on all parts and not slip. The screws are small and the board sensitive. I would leave the original fan on it. If it is not a reference card anyway, so no Founder's Edition from the house of AMD or Nvidia, but MSI, ASUS or whatever, the fans are usually almost always the best

I'm talking about the CPU fan ^^

pa

I would not change at the temperatures either. Except for a water cooling from Corsair. They are top. But only if you also want to overclock strongly.
