Bit of a strange question

[Mr Dan Dan]

I built my computer myself and was expecting a lot more problems than I got so for that I'm grateful but I've done quite a few tests on my GPU (Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070) and it's running at about 59c/62c under extremely heavy load and a friend of mine says that's way too low and I've obviously done something wrong.
I haven't water cooled it or replaced the thermal paste or anything, I just plugged it in from the box.
I have a Lian-Li 011 Dynamic case with 6 be quiet silent wings 3 140mm case fans (3 intake at the front and 3 exhaust at the top) and one 80mm rear exhaust fan behind the cpu cooler (Mugen 5 PCGH edition)
I've never had any crashing or other issues at all since I built it in November/December so you'd think I should just be happy but my friend has worried me.

My question even though it sounds silly is, Do I need to worry because it runs so cool or have I just got really lucky with my first build?

Which model of Gigabyte 3070 do you have as some cooling solutions are better than others.

The exact model is Gigabyte GeForce RTX™ 3070 GAMING OC 8G

LOL first time I've seen someone query whether a GPU is too cool !! Your friend quite frankly is an ass. Those temps as have been said are really good and where you should be at. Sounds like your friend is a bit jealous and is giving you false information.

If the card runs fine then it is fine.

Thank you, yeah I think there may be some jealousy as his 3070 gets much hotter but that sounds like a him problem

What is the “extremely heavy load” you are talking about.?

I ran furmark and Heaven on the ultra settings. If you could recommend any other tests I'll give them a go

 

[Mr Dan Dan]

This.

Also...

- Card fans on default or custom curve?
- Download Quake II RTX (free on Steam), play for 5 mins and report back your temps. If it's still only 62c max - that's not right for an air cooled ampere card

I'll do this now, thanks. Card fans are on default.
