is the temperature around 95-105°C? the only solution to fix the hotspot is reapplying the GPU paste, which is a risky process. but if you handle it carefully, it should be manageable. just need high-quality thermal paste, some small screwdrivers to open the GPU, and maybe an air duster to clean the heatsink. yes, don’t forget to dust it too—first try is to clean the case thoroughly if it’s very dusty, and check if temperatures drop when the case side panel is removed.
I just enabled the game, and at about 107 it showed the maximum. I fetched the front and side panels, and the average was around 90 to 105. It seems it didn’t exceed 107 afterward.
This midrange GPU performs quite well, especially with a good cooling solution. Reapplying paste should probably resolve the issue, since a dry layer can reduce heat conductivity or create air gaps that hurt performance.
Thank you for your assistance. I plan to look into ways to repaste my GPU.
Absolutely, it’s not overly complicated, though it’s still a challenging task. Unlike general PC building, this requires more precision—such as removing the cooler from the GPU, wiping down old paste using a strong solvent like high-concentration IPA, and then applying fresh paste onto the die.
Today I completed the task effortlessly; the toughest part was separating it. The thermal paste had dried out completely. Temperatures were fine during gameplay, but now there’s a noticeable spike at around 105°C. Thank you for your assistance!
No worries, I need to update my post. It shows comparable average temperatures compared to yours, especially at half power capacity.
