GPU max temps?

Zeebedy · 8 Feb 2025 at 17:01

Hey guys,

Today put my 4070ti S through its paces with some Path Of Exile 2 for a solid couple of hours…

Now, I see my peak temps were hitting as high as 81-82c, and the fan speed only went to 50% speed..

Are those temps ok? Or should I be in afterburner and adjusting the GPU fan curve?

Yeah, I thought that.

I have the Zotac 4070ti Super SOLID card, running in a NZXT H7 FLOW case, there is plenty of airflow so I’m a little baffled.

one thing, if i set a fan curve on AB that will take off the 0rmp on the GPU right?

no you can still have fan stop working. Just work out a fan curve profile that are happy with.

i tried setting the fan curve with it at zero speed until 30c but the fans still ramp up when I apply that setting?

look at the option over ride zero fan speed with hardware curve make sure the checkbox is ticked and click apply

legend mate, i had the "override" button unticked. thanks dude!

Does that card have dual BIOS? If so, are you using the quiet BIOS?

Try the OC BIOS if that card has one.

thanks for the input, i dont believe there is a dual BIOS switch on this model.

You sure? I am pretty sure it has

Hmm.. will double check but I don’t believe it does?

It not a switch but a button. And you could also change it via *shudders* firestorm. Unless I have mixed that up with the zotac 4090

Yeah, I’m 99% sure it has no switch / button.

Each manufacturer is different. Some allow you to set 0rpm, some limit you to 30% and some just ignore a low level setting. I think the important thing is that it doesn't matter. Whatever happens, you won't hear it at 30%.

Just do a very simple fan control. Off (or 30%) to 40 degrees. 30% at 41 degrees. 100% at 80 degrees. See what that's like and then tweak it. Find an acceptable balance between performance and noise.

Yeah, I have managed to set it to zero fan usage until 35c , and done a fan curve, like you said, will test out and tweak until I’m happy with gaming temps.

Having trouble setting the fan curve for the gpu on afterburner.

Under max load it’s peaking at around 81c, but averages around mid 70’s under full load.

Are these “safe” temps to operate on?

if you haven't used a a voltage off set you should, 82c is the GPU stock throttle point

done this, just fired up POE2 for an hour and my peak was 48c! :cry:

What gpu is it? What you really want to pay attention to is the hot spot temp. Which is usually 10 c higher than the GPU temp. What you are trying to do is find the right balance between temps and fan noise levels. so on mine I have it set to 0-50c =0% fan speed. Then when it hits 50c it kicks in about 44%. And that way it remains fairly quiet and fairly cool.

Wait just reread your post and realised you posted before saying you had a 4070ti super. Have you tried power limiting your card to like 80-90% you wont lose a great deal of performance.

done the undervolt. seens to work well so will stick with this for now..thanks for the input.

another wee note.. since under volting my GPU it has also reduced the CPU average temp by about 4-5c !!! :eek:
