New MSI Ventus RTX 4060 Ti is experiencing overheating reaching up to 80°C
I build a brand new pc and the gpu temps get 80 degrees while playing games. Roght npw it's 18-22 degree Celsius and it will het around 44 degrees Celsius in summer. I am worried that ot will throttle during summer. I did placed psu upwards if that helps. Also only one exhaust fan. Also does the gpu has aluminium pipes or something. I thought they had copper pipes
Normal operation causes computers to heat up when under stress. Are you asking about the GPU temperature while idle, the ambient room temperature, or your actual body heat? (The latter is less relevant for your device but more important for comfort.) The plumbing is likely made of copper, often coated with another metal such as nickel, zinc, or aluminum for appearance.
Are the fans operating under stress? Are they producing a lot of noise? Is the central area at 80 degrees or is it the hotspot? What are the core and hotspot readings? With adequate airflow, according to Techpowerup evaluations, a 4060 Ti stays near 60-65 degrees in the core and between 70 and 85 on the hotspot. The PNY 4060 Ti operates at 74 degrees in the core, but remains relatively quiet at about 29 dBA. Most GPUs tend to increase fan speed significantly when reaching 80 degrees. A 4060 Ti should not overheat since it consumes minimal power. Poor ventilation in your case can cause higher temperatures. Consider testing without the side panel on as well.
Begin by flipping your PSU downwards if you can, since pointing it up might remove air from the GPU. Do you have any front case fans?
I already completed that after posting. My PC case is a cooler Master V200L (link in description). I chose this because it was the only one without a glass panel from a trusted brand within my budget. Also, I don’t have a front case fan since the front is made of flat metal.
Using Core and Hotspot, I believe you meant normal and peak temperatures. It stays near 37°C without load, dropping even lower. When I run intense games like RDR2 or Metro Exodus, it rises to about 80°C C, and the fan kicks in quickly (often around 78-79°C), after which it stabilizes between 80-77°C. If I stop the game suddenly, the temperature drops instantly to around 66°C. The Cooler Master MasterBox MB600L V2 features a steel side panel, brushed front panel, Hexagon Gleam, mesh intakes, breathable PSU shroud, and supports up to an ATX motherboard.

Core temperature refers to the heat level of the GPU cores, while hotspot temperature indicates the hottest section of the chip. These numbers don't represent minimum or maximum values—they're just typical behavior. When you start a game, the demand spikes quickly, raising temperatures until the cooling system activates and brings everything down. Pausing reduces the workload, allowing the chip to cool slightly, especially when the cooling system is running at full capacity.
Front panel is flat but side vents remain; add front case fans to improve airflow. Your GPU is generating excess heat, forcing it to circulate warm air and raising its temperature. Case fans should help resolve this. Also, the CPU fan noise from before is likely due to increased heat—more airflow is needed to maintain cooling efficiency in a hotter environment.
