Gigabyte 5600xt WINDFORCE is running hot (due to 1440p?)

[Bushimayne]

I completed my first build two weeks ago.

I have a 2-fan 5600xt gpu from gigabyte (not the triple fan where most videos have been showing). Idle temps are around 57 C and when I play CSGO, my gpu is around 70 Celsius, seems a bit high for me. I am running at 1440p and 144 hz (I know it is more of a low end 1440p card). PUBG runs around 85 celsius at medium settings (no FPS Cap in game).



Other info of my build:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz 6 Core AM4 Boxed Processor

MOBO: B450M Pro4 AMD AM4 mATX Motherboard

RAM: Ripjaws V 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 PC4-25600

Case: MasterBox Q300L mATX Mini Tower Computer Case

PSU: 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX Fully Modular Power Supply

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT Windforce Overclocked Dual-Fan 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Video Card



I am planning to get an intake fan to go along with the single exhaust fan, I'm hoping that will help a bit (maybe lower around 6 celsius?) since it is a smaller case. But since I am running 1440p, is running this hot just the nature of the beast? I am considering returning this and getting the 3 fan Gigabyte 5600xt where the drivers and BIOS are more up to date, not sure if that will help or not though. I couldn't find a lot of info on the WINDFORCE/2 fan model.


And are these temps ok for a gpu?

Thanks for any advice and tips.

70 degrees is fine for high load and 56 degrees is fine for idle if the fans turn off at idle.
Nothing to worry about — is the card noisy?
More airflow is always going to help a little though

Thanks for the reply! I set the fan curve to basically automatic, just increased max RPM using AMD Adrenalin and it gets to be a bit noisy under load. Maybe hitting around 2500RPM at max load. At idle it seems to hover around 770 RPM, not terribly noisy, but audible. Better airflow and just the nature of the small case might be the issue.
