1070 running hot?

[RandomNoob]

I have the 1070 amp extreme card, when I first got the card around 2 weeks ago idle temp was around 38c and load temp when gaming was around 55c sometimes creeping to 60c on longer gaming sessions.

Turned on my system today, nothing running just firefox open sat on my homepage and uplay and steam running in the background.

Now I'm seeing 56c idle on the 1070? All other system temps seem fine my cpu is normal 35c. Does the idle temp for this card/cooler seem odd to anyone else?

I'm about to test it gaming and I'll report back the temp's but this seems higher than last week for sure

Do you have more than 1 monitor connected? Will also depend what you were doing on Firefox as hardware acceleration will up the clocks off your gpu from idle clocks.

 

[RandomNoob]

Its just one monitor I have connected.

 

[Heisenberg]

What temp do you get without Firefox open? I have a feeling it's some kind of hardware acceleration in Firefox causing the higher temp.

Nothing at all open, 55c idle still. Just played some rainbow six siege and gpu hitting 70c max

Is ur monitor >60Hz?
Think some nvidia cards have issues if desktop is at 144Hz.

The clocks can get stuck on full and not going back to idle@desktop, if a restart doesn't revert clocks, uninstall/reinstall again and the idle clocks should revert back to normal, my Evga 970 and my 1070 Amp Extreme have exhibited the same problem so it's maybe a driver issue.

Try disabling Shadowplay and if that does not work uninstall GeForce Experience.

Install a utility that shows you the clock rates and see if it is getting stuck at high/non idle clocks.

Definitely sounds too hot.

My AMP extreme has been idling at 35 degrees since i got it and that is in this hot weather.

Yeah those idle temps don't look right. My 1070 GameRock is currently idling at 31C which is 10 degrees above the room temperature, and of course the GPU fans are not spinning.

It was stuck on high clocks as a few of you suggested, I reinstalled the zotac firestorm software and it seems to have fixed itself. I've restarted my pc several times just to be sure and its now idle at 37c. I'll report back if anything changes but so far so good!
