Weird orientation, I know. I am limited by the position of the IO shield. PSU is at the bottom of the case with the fans faced down. So as you can see, there is more than half the case of breathing room.

All inputs to improve the air flow is appreciated

It seem both the case fan in both side
Wasnt working in same air flow direction

Try open case
Blow with table fan
And check did gpu work cooler?

These are my specs:
Intel i5 8400
Gigabyte aorus b360m
8gb 2666mhz ram
WD 1TB blue
Zotac GTX 1060 6gb mini
All components are a month old

GPU Temperatures:
Idle 35C
Typical load 76C to 84C

More taxing games like far cry 5 and Mass effect Andromeda on ultra will hit the max temperature.  Should I be concerned about my GPU temperature?

The fans are in the right directions. 2 in front sucking air in and 1 behind to blow air out. As for the table fan option, lets leave it as the last as it wont be aesthetically pleasing biggrin.gif

why so high?

mine at 100% load, air cooled room only 48-55c.

that's why I'm asking here lol

why not use MSI Afterburner and tweak your fan curve first like Enclave Recruit suggested? that will have direct and immediate impact on the GPU temps.

Mini is normally hot. Shorter lifespan too.

What's your case make and model? Perhaps you can post a photo of your case so we can evaluate the case intake design.

Actually very simple to tell if your case ventilation is the culprit or not:

1.) Game (benchmark) for 30 min, note down current and max temp

2.) Then OPEN CASING SIDE PANEL,  Game (benchmark) for 30 min, note down current and max temp
If DIFFERENCE is 3 - 5 DegC, then your case ventilation no prob.

If more than that, you need to do something with your ventilation =D

Well I tried your method, temperatures reduced by 6C. I'm gonna try tweaking fans next

I see that your GPU fan only runs up to 73%. How about you download afterburner or firestorm and see whether you are running on boost clocks. If so, i'd say just leave it as lowering the temperature won't have much benefits.

your photos doesn't show any case intake at all
i don't see any photo of your case front or front-side shot.
you can have many fans but they will be useless if the intake is restricted.

bro your casing on top add 1 more fan or 2 if can add the 2nd fan...it will help pulling out the heat some little bit, by the way zotac mini card heatsink is small so its hotter than others card. can also try change the gpu thermal paste.

Your assumptions are correct. The one on top should also be an exhaust right? But I should try removing the side panels first  biggrin.gif

No, INTAKE =D,

and must be at the front, to prevent pulling back in hot air from the rear exhaust.

If 6 degree temp diff between open case and closed actually not bad.

If your front fans have filter, then air flow confirm not enough. Adding another intake should see temps reduce by 1 or 2 degrees.


And needless for me to say, time to plan to change Case to larger one, to accommodate 140mm fans ALL AROUND to give better temps =D

Actually, all this can be improved just by:
1. changing better PC case.
2. arrange your components better (like HDD no blocking air intake)
3. get better fans (i dun recommended use stock fan, get a bigger fan with higher RPM so get more air flow, nowadays fan come with many types of blades, go have a look).
*in those old days we don't have MSI burner to tweak.

If all these doesn't solve the issue, you could assume that card is not optimal to run high-end GPU-cost for long term.

aigo fans... they do nothing but lighting.

how was your CPU temp anyway?

well, u r using a Zotax Mini, dont complaint.

Here one possible solution :

Replace the thermal paste with something better like Arctic MX4.

GTX1060 have GPU boost 3 technologies built in. It will regulate clock speed and voltage automatically depending on the power consumption and temperature.

Nvidia usually sets the GPU temp limit at 82-83C, that means GPU Boost 3 will constantly adjust the clockspeed and voltage to never exceed the 82-83C on the fly.

So 82-83C are perfectly fine for the GPU itself, but the electronic board is designed properly for sustaining that temp by zotac, that I dunno. Thats why warranty exists lo

Come back and tell us when it reach 92C and start throttling.
If not, then there is no problem with your GPU at all. Yours is a Mini edition and GPU don't die so easily.
It will throttle itself if temps are high.

Yes, you should be, if you're concerned about the longevity of your GC.

At above 70 deg C, your max turbo speed also reduced dy. Do a benchmark (like furmark) and you'll know.
My opinion, best temp to aim for any brand GC, MAX LOAD CONTINOUS FOR 30 MINUTES, would be

-BELOW 70 degC for Tier 1 (example: Asus ROG Strix, Gigabyte Aorus, etc)
-BELOW 75 deg C for tier 2 (Example: MSI Duke, Zotac AMP edition)
and
-BELOW 80 deg C for tier 3 (Your GTX 1060 mini)

That should not be an accurate judgement whether the card is good or not based on temperature alone and lower temps does not mean better card.

On all Pascal based cards, Nvidia implemented turbo boost based an absolute maximum TDP limit and core temperature . Manufacturers like Asus ,Gigabyte and MSI are allowed to set their card's TDP, therefore all of them has different TDP limit for every model of their cards. It is set in the GPU bios itself.


Let me give you an example;

Asus GTX 1060 6GB Strix OC has max TDP limit of 182W

Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB Xtreme Gaming has a max TDP limit of 225W

Comparing both which are custom PCB, custom cooler based card ,if you say the Asus is a better card because it has better temps, then I will not agree because the card running at lower temps not just because of the cooling solution, but it has a lower power draw limit ,thus discipating less heat to cool. In contrast, the Gigabyte card has a higher power draw limit which allows it to sustain higher clockspeed in return for better frame rates and more consistent core clockspeed. Other than Founder Edition cards, I strongly believe most Pascal cards true capabilities are limited by power draw not temps. Running GPU at 80+C consistently is no issue, as you can see all Founder's Edition card are being run that way.

Or run afterburner and lower the power limit %

straight away better temps but performance takes hit lo
