Should I be concerned about my GPU temperatures?
Asked by

Hey everyone! My 3-year-old PNY RTX 3070 Ti is hitting temperatures around 85-87 degrees Celsius when I'm pushing it to full load. Is this something I should be worried about? Do you think it's time to replace the thermal paste and thermal pads after three years?

For sure, swapping out the thermal paste and pads can really help lower those temps! Just make sure you get the right thickness for the memory pads or go for a putty—it's super important for effective cooling.

CoolCatMike: 100% agree! I had a PNY 3080 that was running super hot too—like 100% fan speed at 80+ degrees in lightweight games! After redoing the paste and pads, it’s now running at 75 degrees under heavy load. Definitely worth it!
