RTX 3070 Gigabyte Eagle OC Temperatures Help

[Tom Sanderson]

Hi guys,

I'm struggling to find any answers about my specific card regarding temperatures and wondered if anyone here could help put my mind at ease.

I have the card mentioned in the title. The card idles at around 45/50 degC and reaches approx 81 degC in game at 98% GPU use. Is this normal or high? I have read a few post of people saying there card does not go above the low 70s. My fans are also having to run at 80% to maintain that 81 degC temp.

Thanks.

What case and fan set up to have, are you using the infamous oven case?

I've got an NZXT 510i with two rear NZXT AER fans as exhausts.

Thanks.

Your card definitely seems to be running a bit hot: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-gaming-oc/31.html (Gigabyte Gaming OC for comparison).

I think I read somewherre the Gaming OC has one extra heat pipe or something.

Not to sound horrible but that is the case nicknamed the oven.

you can try increase the airflow in the intake as much as you can but if you experience high temps at all the times, then a new case is in order, for cooler temps, you want more intakes to provide cool air into the system.

But it looks really nice!! . Ah well, 80 degrees is fine for a GPU though? I was just concerned there was something wrong with the GPU. Out of interest are there better cases you could suggest?

Thanks for all the replies people.

Also how many displays connected to the card ?

2 displays

Panels on

Temps on idle with the panels off do not change.

The temps are also slightly lower in game from my first post as I have now changed the fan curve of the pc fans to 20C=20% 30C=30% 40C=40% 50C=60% 60C=80% 70C=100%. Although as mentioned, it is quite loud now.

I don’t think you need quite such an aggressive fan curve. These cards are hot runners as it is and 70-80’C is relatively normal. I have an O-11D Dynamic with six intakes and my Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision still goes up to the high 70’s and even nudges into the 80’s at times. It’s normal.

Ok thanks for the reply. I just got that fan curve off someone who also had a 510. Can you reccomend a better one?
