Extreme GPU temperatures
Extreme GPU temperatures
Hey! Your gaming setup is showing some hot spots—GPU and CPU temps are consistently high, especially near the memory junction. The measurements were taken using HWMonitor SETUP with your Intel i-7 8700K, 3080, and the rest of the components. You’re using a Sharkoon TG5 case with upgraded fans and a Sound Blaster Z sound card, plus a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler. I also took a photo of the airflow in the case. It looks like you might want to check the cooling efficiency, maybe upgrade the fans or consider a better cooler for the CPU. Let me know if you want some tips!
Shift the CPU cooler toward the exhaust, elevate your GPU to the upper slot. Currently you enjoy good ventilation from the front fans, but your GPU is cramped and can’t breathe properly. The CPU cooler is removing excess heat from the GPU backplate—this happens because even lower-power cards like your 2060 Super and ARC A770 get hot.
As noted, adjust the noctua cooler to direct airflow back toward the rear fan and outward. Refer to the image provided for guidance.
Please redo the work, refresh the design. Success is likely. Mounting issues are frequent—happy to help.
