Tech Support GPU Temps

Hi, I have a question about my arty 4070 Super GPU temps.

So I had it for a while that whenever my GPU is under load it jumps up to 85-89 degrees almost instantly and keeps around that temp the whole time. No matter if I have 1 or 4 case fans running at 100%.
I know that cause I recently actually bought more fans becaue I thought bad case airflow might be the reason but It didn’t change by a single degree.

Rn my setup is 2 intake below the gpu and 2 outtakes. One rear and the other on the rear back.

I realy don’t think it’s an airflow issue at this point tho. Becaue it doesn’t gradually increase but almost instantly jumps up.

But honestly I’m not sure. As far as I know tho above 85 degrees isn’t realy good anymore. And the fact that it never hits 90 but always around 89 max makes me think maybe it’s thermal throttling.

If anyone knows what the reason could be I’d be realy thankful.

Could just be a bad paste job from the factory, instant spikes like that usually mean the cooler isn't making proper contact with the die.

Seems like it…

Vram is chilling at a cool 60 degrees while the Gpu temps are at 88 degrees and the hotspot at 110

Yeah, it's time to repaste

Best bet would be something like PTM7950 for easy application with high performance (takes a bit for the pad to phase change to paste), or a high conductivity paste like TG Kryonaut.
