MSI Gaming X card users help please

60c is fine

[mental oar]

56-58°c is fine

[astral tangle]

58,60c is fine on idle state?

[mental oar]

yes

[random sinew]

With fans off, yes

[mental oar]

your GPU will not be damaged

[random sinew]

It's gonna naturally heat up until it hits the fan threshold, no big deal really

Not worth installing the MSI app to prevent it

[astral tangle]

when i touch GPU heat sink it's hot as hell so i download MSI gaming app just to disable Lights and Zero Frozr

[mental oar]

it will be hot as hell if you touch it

[opaque karma]

Human hot is not pc hot

[mental oar]

60c isn't that hot from a 3dp owner lmao

that's cool to the touch

[opaque karma]

Yea lmao

[random sinew]

The solution here is don't touch PC components while they're running

[mental oar]

lmao

yeah that's an easy way to have a shocking experience

[astral tangle]

Idk i felt so hot when i touch GPU thick metals

[opaque karma]

Some wise words over here

[random sinew]

60C is a safe "cool" temp for components, but it'll burn your skin if you touch it for long enough

[astral tangle]

if i disable Zero Frozr. GPU temps goes to 29-34c on idle. such a large difference 🤷

[mental oar]

yes because the fans are on

[random sinew]

Yeah that's cuz the fans are on

[mental oar]

60c is fine

if you're worried then turn the fans on

gpus are designed to sustain hot temps

[astral tangle]

so such large difference will help the GPU for longer lifespan?

[random sinew]

The same amount of heat is being generated. When you disable Frozr, it's just moving that heat into your room faster

[random sinew]

Nope

[mental oar]

no, the lifespan will remain the same

[opaque karma]

Considering my macbook hits 100c almost always and has been running for more than 14 years, I think you’re pretty safe

[astral tangle]

problem is i have i5 4570 .weak cpu . when i play and stream games at 30fps lock i am facing shutters 😅
obs studio and it's filters already consume too much cpu usage

[opaque karma]

Actually, you’ll put more strain on the fans, which probably die earlier anyway

[random sinew]

That's a completely separate issue, unrelated to your idle fan config

[astral tangle]

i mean MSI gaming app consuming my weak CPU power 😅

[random sinew]

All assumptions unless you actually look at your per-core CPU and GPU usage

[astral tangle]

yes if i run fans non stop it is grabbing more dust but the temps 😔

[random sinew]

but the temps what

[astral tangle]

29-34c Vs 58c idle GPU temps

[opaque karma]

And you’ll wear the bearings. 60c is fine, really, nothing to worry about

[random sinew]

And? It doesn't matter, as all three of us have told you

Same amount of heat is being created

Just getting pushed into your room at different rates

[opaque karma]

Same rate

[buoyant geode]

Haha I had msi 1660 super gaming x. My idle temp is 60c. No need to overthink it 😅

[astral tangle]

the fans will start rotating once it cross 60c and again it drops to 59c and again fans rotate 🤷

[random sinew]

I mean, in one scenario, it sits inside the case for a little longer.

[opaque karma]

Yea

[random sinew]

Yep that's how it works

[astral tangle]

aren't u worried about the GPU fans keep on and off

[random sinew]

Do 👏 not 👏 overthink this 👏

[astral tangle]

ok then

[random sinew]

That's how it's designed to work

[astral tangle]

between MSI gaming app don't have windows 11 support 🤷

[random sinew]

Don't install it, ezpz

[astral tangle]

[buoyant geode]

Nah. These are normal temps for gaming x version it's been 3 years my GPU is running fine

Just chill out ✌️

[astral tangle]

I can play 2d indie games having under 60c if i disable Zero Frozr feature

[random sinew]

That does not matter, not even a little bit

[astral tangle]

ok

[opaque karma]

What’s that name even

[astral tangle]

u guys don't use this software?

[opaque karma]

Zero frozr

[random sinew]

Your GPU is perfectly safe going into the 80s

[astral tangle]

MSI gaming app

[random sinew]

MSI's branding for turning off the fans when the GPU is cool enough

[opaque karma]

Yea but who at marketing was like, lets call it that

[random sinew]

Uninstall it, don't overthink this, go play game

Your GPU is not magically better by reducing the idle temp

[astral tangle]

ok let's leave about temps but wt about fans? they just keep turning on and off between 59-61c temps

[random sinew]

Same exact answer

That's how it's designed, don't overthink this, go play game

The GPU keeps its fans off to be quiet, until it reaches a threshold. That threshold is 60C

Fans turn on, heat gets dumped out, fans turn off

[buoyant geode]

@astral tangle here is another solution for you just buy any GPU which has lower temps because right now you are overthinking and it is not good for you.

As I said it's normal temps for gaming x version.

[astral tangle]

this gpu already too cool if i disable Zero Frozr
