Hi, I've just upgraded my GPU from GTX 1060 3GB to GALAX RTX 2060 and I really like the upgrade I've been wanting for.

But the issue is that this card runs very hot to the point its fan is quite audible. I had to adjusr my fan curve so that it's not really loud but I'm quite concerned with the gpu temp. My cpu temp (Ryzen 5 2600 with stock cooler) usually hover around 65~75c on load.

On idle alone, gpu temp hover on 45c @ 300MHz clock while on load, it boost to 1800MHz @ 85c. I get this number from playing MHW.

Say is it normal for the RTX 2060 to be this hot? It certainly not with the previous gpu

Edit: Mistake were made on clock value, changed from 300Hz and 1.8MHz to 300Mhz and 1800MHz.

Could I just underclock the GPU without affecting much of the performance? I mean, a 10% reduction in fps is negligible and not going to hurt the quality because from the benchmark I saw with this card, it's already quite overkill for 1080p.

I tried to reduce the power/temp limit to 91%/75c thru MSI Afterburner but it still kicking to 82~83c while it down clock itself from 1840MHz to 1700MHz when it hit the 83c limit

Room temperature at 35c while ambient temp in the case was 45c
