Thats fairly normal for air but if you have your 3070 cooled by NZXT Kraken it should be a lot lower, my 2080ti with the Kraken X72 doesn't go over 60 degs during gaming
Does the block need an adjustment maybe, or not enough/too much paste?
Ah ok, i was confused, thought you had the GPU water cooled with the Kraken.
85 is fairy normal for an air cooled GPU although its higher than i would be comfortable with.
I would check your case air flow and ensure there is enough exhaust airflow, sounds like you could have some positive pressure in the case which needs to be removed.
*Terrible* case for airflow, hence your answer
NZXT really do need shooting for that.
I have a fairly similar case and removing the glass/plexi covers will improve temps quite considerably but will be more audible when the fans kick in.
A Kraken G12 to water cool your GPU will be so much quieter and cooler.
Then you reap what you sow dude, good luck
(I'd undervolt it and leave it be until you fancy a change tbh)
This 3080FE runs at 65 Celsius on air when gaming, that's in a full tower case though.
That said, I'd not be happy with 85C at all. But I notice the software is reading just one fan, are both fans on the FE on the same controller? GPU Z shows two separate fans on my system so I'm presuming they each have a controller, but your screenshot only shows one?
Might be worth looking at the GamersNexus video they did on this case. If you can sway it towards negative pressure it should improve your GPU temps.
It’s running a bit warm for my liking.
My 3080 FE is running in the 70’s in a Meshlicious case with only 2x AIO fans exhausting, no other case fans.
Is the front of your case glass?
The two front fans that draw air from the front and ultimately blow warm radiator air towards the gpu. Is there any way they can suck through the rad and draw warm air out of the front? Or something that isn't blowing warm air into the case? But sucking it out.
Hi there,
How about moving the radiator to the top of the case like @FlyingFish has with his?
This should allow you to add 2 fans to the radiator without removing the cable management bar and pushing the air upwards out of the case, despite only 1 fan pushing air out of the case the 2nd will help cool the AIO.
Then you could purchase another fan and put that and the top fan on the side where the radiator currently is, pushing the air into the case.
You should also move the case further forward because the back fan will be working harder (likely higher rpm when gaming) because there's such a small gap to the wall - there's bound to be some heat lingering around that tight space as there isn't much room to escape, same with the GPU.
