hi, im new to building pc and using them so i would like some information, when i play a game my computer gets a little hot and the temps go into the 80s not sure if this is normal or is. can someone give me information on this and when i should be worried thanks. im using an i9 and a 3080 ti
tidal scarab
the screenshot you sent those are fine a little warm nothing to worry about
All cards have different coolers and handle heat differently
silver spade
should i set my fans up to deal with the heat better?
tidal scarab
I wouldn't use ICUE to Monitor GPU temps though
silver spade
ah why not?
tidal scarab
i'd be using hwinfo personally to let it run in the background whilst playing games then you can tab out and see max temps, not current temps

so it wont show current temps?
tidal scarab
Better to use hwinfo then you can show what your maximum temp was
tidal scarab
well maybe record them with hwinfo for 10 mins and report back
Launch hwinfo in sensors only, then scroll down and GPU is at the bottom
Like so
silver spade
has it taken me to the right download?
tidal scarab
when you click download on the above thing, it will take you to Fosshub and you click hwinfo installer
tidal scarab
Yeah, just leave it in the background for 10 mins open whilst you play a game
and lets see what the temps are like
tidal scarab
That's all fine
tidal scarab
its all fine within spec for it
silver spade
thats good then

tidal scarab

silver spade
tidal scarab
Oh nice the Ventus
silver spade
no idea what that means
tidal scarab
its the model of 3080ti you have
tidal scarab
Its a decent model. But yeah temps are nothing to worry about
75c may seem scary for everything else but in PC parts that's basiically a none worry
silver spade
okay i do have 9 fans so it should be fine right?
silver spade
oh right didnt know that and thanks
also do i need to set up my water cooling or should it be fine?
tidal scarab
Nothing to alter unless you want to alter fan curves but that's all personal preference
silver spade
i think ill leave that stuff as i dont understand it
i should be fine playing ark survival with these specs right?
tidal scarab
easily, but just remember Ark isn't well optimised so it runs very badly on any spec
