Why is my GPU hitting 90+ degrees Celsius while gaming?

Asked By GamerNinja77 On

Hey everyone! I just got my hands on a second-hand PC, and it works fine overall, but I'm really concerned about the GPU temperatures. I have a 3070 Ti graphics card running alongside an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 32GB of RAM in a Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P V2 case. The GPU temperature skyrockets to over 90 degrees Celsius when I play games. Is this a major issue, and what should I do to bring the temp down? I've already tried cranking the fan speeds to 100% through BIOS and using a monitoring program, but it didn't help at all.

It sounds like your case might not be providing enough airflow. Plus, the 3070 Ti can get pretty hot, especially if the thermal paste is old. A repaste can help with the heat since these cards are known to struggle with high temperatures. You might want to consider a new case if airflow issues persist!

Should I really look into getting a new case? And is repasting the GPU super tricky? I recently almost messed up my laptop messing with it, so now I'm nervous!
