Hello, fellow forum users. While playing games, my GPU reaches temperatures above 50℃ during GTA V and RAGEMP (GTA 5 Multiplayer), and even higher in other titles like Grounded where it hits 74℃ on low settings. At the time of purchase it was around 20-35℃ when idle, now it's 40-50℃. I'm wondering if adjusting the thermal paste or pads and adding more fans will lower the temps a bit. I already have one fan. Thanks ahead, sorry for the unclear English. P.S. You can check MSI Afterburner stats in the video. ffff — დამზადებულია Clipchamp-ით.mp4

The readings seem normal and match expectations. There doesn’t appear to be a problem. Elevated idle temperatures are typical for GPUs that shut down their fans during low load, likely the cause here.

You might clean that heat sink. Check the fan speeds when running at low load and full capacity. (In the clip you notice the lowest RPM during idle.) Lastly, consider adjusting the voltage, but it’s likely unnecessary.

Yes, it might just be dust particles. Either way, 70°C looks acceptable even with hotspot readings.
