Rx 570 runs smoothly during gaming sessions
Hello, my Shappire Rx 570 itx mini is heating up a lot during gameplay, reaching 70-75°C in just a few minutes. Some people suggested undervolting and changed the wattman voltage from 1150 to 1000, while also increasing the fan speed to 55% at 2250 RPM. However, the temperature still stays around 73°C. I only have one case fan, and in the Middle East it’s usually between 35-43°C in summer. I’m worried because even with stock undervolt settings, it gets very hot, and the external case is also affected by outside heat. I’m considering buying two 12mm case fans to help lower the temperature a bit.
75C isn't a big issue, I don't need to be concerned. It's an ITX card and it should heat up nicely. Keep away from it, it might damage you. Case fans will be useful, particularly if you're not getting enough airflow inside.
You have the option, but it may become even hotter. It would be wise to enhance airflow in the case if possible. Even with just one fan available, you might find a more efficient model without breaking the bank.
You have the option, though the mini ITX cards aren't meant for overclocking. With adequate cooling, a slight increase in performance is possible.
As mentioned before, your temperatures are within acceptable ranges. You might consider adding case fans or boosting the card fan speed if necessary to maintain control during overclocking. Additionally, you could try undervolting to lower power consumption and heat output. It’s also possible to slightly increase clock speeds while reducing voltage, which may not significantly affect temperature.
I lowered the GPU voltage by 150 volts
Running at 1500 MHz and 900 volts seems manageable? I saw others using 1750 at the same voltage—could that be a better approach or is it risky to adjust it further?
To be honest I don't think I'd bother undervolting/underclocking the memory. It's doubt it's going to affect your GPU temperature much if at all.
Because the VRAM frequency remains unchanged (unlike the core), the voltage you use for the VRAM serves as a minimum to ensure it stays stable. The VRAM receives the same voltage as the core, which is linked to the core frequency. If the core frequency drops significantly—such as during low clock speeds (FRTC or Chill) or underclocking—the VRAM voltage limit activates to maintain sufficient power for both core and VRAM.
Have you confirmed your undervolt settings are being applied? (Check core voltage monitoring)
75°C is normal and typically the ideal temperature. Above this, the fan speed increases; below it, the fan decreases.
A typical configuration uses two fans for intake and one for exhaust, which works well in most builds.
