GPUs usually have no issues going up to 100 degrees Celsius.

If you really want to make sure things run cool I suggest taking software control of the GC fan and forcing it to a certain value.

improve your case ventilation, if your gpu use blower type, it's a bit better, the heat exit directly but it's ventilation still needed.
custom cooler require side panel fans, so the heat wont be going back to case.

This one?

from the looks of it, it might be that the cooling solution use is not that good. Improving airflow in you PC case may help

Try opening the side panel and see how much the temp can drop. Then you can have target (near the open side panel temp, but not exactly same lower temp) how much you can lower down the temp with better fan or airflow.

It's H17 or V71? Can't find V17.
If H17, got ways to open front panel for better airflow?

I would suggest trying with one or more panels open. If this solves your issue of GPU getting too hot, then you may want to consider getting a case that has less restrictive airflow

If front panel remove there's no filter to stop dust from being suck in?
My casing with front acrylic cover to showcase the fans light, but at the side have small duck which is poor in airflow.
I removed the acrylic cover and put filter at it's place, the airflow improve tremendously. Dropped more than 10 Celsius during CPU full load.

open ur side panel, and see if the problem persist.

if it doesnt, u got ventilation issue

You need to tame the GPU in different way, like enable VSync for single player game, where input lag is not an issue, limiting the FPS will reduce the gpu utilization.
Or lower the gpu voltage, reduce temp limit/power limit. The later are safer than changing voltage.

Those are the steps i do to keep the pc internal temp in check.

any idea whats ur ambient temp is?

ur temp is normal i think. how hot ur  card depends on how low ur ambient temp is.

I think you need to check your card thermal paste and pads. Also you case airflow is quite bad. Why don't you upload a picture of your set-up so we can see

no harm trying, just remember sometimes Afterburner will have issues with driver, and the thermal or power limit might not work, thus need to try to underclock.

Your gpu is overkill for 1080p gaming, hence the high thermal output.

The ventilation of the case does seems pretty bad though, it seems like a large volume of heat are trapped in the case,with those weak fans that you're using, which i assume is a sickleflow and CM stock fans.  And the narrow space between the graphics card and the floor of your case, is comparable to my dual card build, temp will go up to 80s from 73 degrees(single card setup) as there'll be restrictions with the amount of direct air the fans of the card can suck in. I'm having Gigabyte 2080ti myself and oh boy, these rtx cards do get hot. But upgrading/adding your fans will definitely help

GPU temp is okay, but the heat is going back to case, which will increase the internal ambient temp if ventilation is not good, this is second issue.
First issue is over-performing GPU, without FPS limiter the game will render like over hundreds of FPS unnecessarily/

that would spoil the airflow direction, also the clearance is enough.
Unless the cover beneath can install another fans.

matx/itx case? one of the problems. tight airflow.

i don't recognise the GPU brand too. msi? gigabyte? zotac perhaps? but all of them have backplates though.

it looks like the thermal solution of the card is another issue as well.

The only way to at least improve it is by upgrading those fans. Noctua A12 or S12A and Corsair AF120 are the few good ones out there that you can look into. Though, I reckon the best solution is to get a better case. There's a list of case's temperature and airflow comparison online that you can take a look at before you make a purchasing decision, such as this https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3120-bes...c-cases-of-2017 . You can see how much of a difference in temp a case can make

my mistake.

I'd still think the thermal solution of this galax card is posing a problem as well. one could argue that rtx 2060 needs only 2 fans but when i was running 1060 i've had 3 and it ran ~70++ ℃ under air-conditioning room. and 1060 would've ran way cooler than 2060.

you need some good fans, for intake you need stronger fans due to filtered fans have reduced airflow.
at least 2500rpm with PWM is preferred.

I can't recommend any fans though as I'm using some weird OEM fans (NMB/Sony), their life span is too long to wait them to die before I can try out new fans.

Remove the filter from top panel and change it to exhaust if possible, also another problem with the back panel exhaust, the fan grill is too restrictive.

Tip for your next case in case you want to improve the thermal performance, for exhaust fan grill, choose the one with less restrictive grill, the bigger the holes the better, it create less noise and improve airflow.
My Lianli case top and back panel exhaust fan grill is customizable / removable, it was the best case i had but too expensive lol (500 sgd...)

I have another wip case which is Fractal design R6, you can try to check other model as well or wait for other forumer suggestion as well.
Look for case with good ventilation option, your current case is only good for aio cooler/htpc.

Room temperature at 35c is abnormal laaaa.

I'm using the exact same card as you. (I've also replied you on your comment on my video, thank you very much for commenting!)

Try running Superposition benchmark at 1080P Extreme settings and see what's the maxed out temperature you get.

Mine tops at 76c and still remain silent, if I set the fan to run at 100% the temperature maxed out at just 64c.

How is the temperature when the ambient is cooler? Like 5-7am in the morning?

Just FYI, new out of the box graphics card sometimes suffer from bad heatsink thermal contact for the GPU and VRM. You can always try to re-apply thermal paste or thermal pad if applicable. Or try to re-mount the heatsink and tighten the screw. That's if it doesn't avoid the warranty.

Anyhow it's best to rule out ambient temperature and casing airflow are the culprit and you can send the card back to the vendor stating that it's overheating.

Your card probably have bad thermal paste application. Try touch the exposed heatsink with your hand to confirm if it actually imba hot. If you have one of those infrared thermometer, use that instead.

You can try undervolting instead of underclocking it, press Ctrl+F to open frequency curve graph in Msi Afterburner and lower the peak curve little by little.

How was the fan when you run the test? Was it screaming away?

But since the front panel can't be completely removed you have to put the front panel at the side every time you play game? That will make inside your casing full of dust.
Have you tried remove side panel (without removing front panel) and see if the temp drop?

The main problem with your setup are that AMD fan blowing air into heatsink, which afterward the hot air is spread out on the whole casing. The front fan blowing to motherboard while AMD fan blowing out of motherboard, it create resistance. The RTX also making it worse by spreading the hot air everywhere. One way is to change the heatsink to the type that have the fan blowing to the back of case like this:

But you still need to remove the front panel to have better airflow.

If the temp drop when side panel removed, I have an idea how to improve the airflow without spending any money. Can the side panel transparent acrylic be removed? If can (Or you willing to remove it by force), install a filter (pantyhose work like magic) after remove the transparent acrylic and reverse the front panel fans so that it suck out air. Now the hot air that's being blown everywhere will be suck out on the 3 sides of the case while the side panel letting cold air in.

Letting the GPU fan spin faster is not a good idea, it shorten the fan lifespan. It would be better to have the case fans spin faster instead to have better airflow as it would be cheaper and easier to replace. Can all the 4 fans speed be controlled? Because it can get very loud when all 4 fans spin at max speed so it would be better to have it spin at max speed only when gaming.
