Pascal Temps & Your Comfort Zone.

Looks good though a GPU at 60c is very low for anything with 980ti / 1070 performance. I think the RX480 probably runs hotter than that...
My 1060 runs hotter than that. It entirely depends on the cooling solution and fan curve. For instance, the EVGA SC I own ran at around the 60 degree mark out of the box, but was pretty noisy to achieve that (given it's only a tiny card with one fan). EVGA released a BIOS update that added a 0dB mode, but also massively relaxed the fan curve. Now it runs in the mid-70s, but is inaudible, a trade-off that I prefer.

Yes exactly what I was saying, you can guess noise level from fan RPM, his card RPM is 1100rpm at 37% fan and he is saying 60c in games... which overall seems almost impossible, because normally the fans would be at 2000rpm+, but also the 1070 is cooler than the 1080 so is prob possible with a huge heatsink, not accusing him of lying, just prob giving best temps rather than the highest etc.

It does have a MASSIVE heatsink (when i first got it i was like "lol what?").

Pretty sure everyone in the 1070 thread a while ago when we were discussing our AMP extremes said the same thing (ie runs around~60 degrees topping out at low 60's).

Comment from that review i linked from another owner-



"Hi,
I'm in a non AC room (29°C) and the card is at 62°C maximum on a 3 hours game session.
Fans are at 35% maximum.

I have overclocked the card, and the temperature is the same, but the fans 38% maximum.

62°C is the MAX, the average is between 58 and 60°C : it's very low.
You can modify the speed fan curve with MSI Afterburner if you want, but 35 - 38% is quiet for me.

Cards from other brands is more noisy, because the cooler is small comparing to this huge cooler on this card ! (3slots !)."

That is very good if you think that 1 year ago you needed a 980ti for 1070 performance, and that card was 250w and about 70-80c, AMD RX480 is hotter than a 1070.

I don't like anything over 60c after having a 295x2 a couple years ago, so have put AIO coolers on my past two GPUs. Mainly to keep the core clock rock solid as Maxwell and Pascal are pretty sensitive to clock speed fluctuations over 70c.

The stock Titan X cooler is abysmal comparing noise to temperature vs the aftermarket coolers.

No exaggeration at all. Pretty sure other 1070 AMP Extreme owners can attest to this.

Yep, some say the Extreme is over engineered and the heatsinks worthless.:p

Collosus Entho Primo here, the only fans in it are on the cpu heatsink, you wouldn't know it's there, at the very worst, all you can hear is the gentless hum.:D
 
my 1060 on full benchmark mode at 50% fan hits 65c in a closed case ( Aerocool XPredator Cube ) with just 2 exhaust fans on low speed
 
Anything under 80 is okay, My Fury tri-x never passes 78 but only hits that as the fans don't ramp up until it hits 75 and they then catch it by 78 and pull it back to 75 where it settles, That's a stark contrast to the 290x I owned beforehand with 94 degree load temps pretty much all the time and that hardly changed when using a 1 for 1 fan profile which still left it sitting in the low 90's.

I've been really chuffed with my Fury temps so I can't imagine why any of you with low 70's or cooler are worried. Stressing over nothing.

I can't hear mine either thanks :).My PC has to be dead quiet for my music work.

The loudest things in my case is are my hard drives (which are set to go off after 5 minutes of none use as the main bulk of my stuff and OS are on SSD).

The AMP extreme heatsink my be over engineered in some peoples eyes but 60 degree load temps are great for not having to ever worry about heat or heat build up in the case, and the size of it doesn't matter if you have a massive case.

TBH as long as its not throttling,I'm good with anything up to 82 degrees. Just come from two TX's so I know what toasty is. Room used to be a sweatbox running those!

Mines actually needed a driver rollback as it was stuck on 3D clocks, I only eventually clicked it was doing that because of the increased heat on desktop, the fan hadn't kicked in-they were still off.:cool:
 
My two fe 1080's would hit mid 70's at max loads (90% fan as there little difference between that and 100% but was appreciably quieter or, not as loud). Sometimes on the hotter days 80 would be seen no matter what I did with fan speed.

These results were that same when oc'd as well. I could run them without issues at 2000mhz together. One was able to oc higher when used on its own.

I currently have them watercooled and after some messing around I can now have them sitting comfortably 50oC and 2000mhz all day long although I usually run them at stock speeds (1860mhz ish) as that's plenty enough grunt!
