GPU temperature raises after mobo change

[mclaren85]

Hello everyone, as the title says, my msi gtx 1660 gpu was 38C-39C on my old asus tuf x570 motherboard. But after the new motherboard, which is msi meg x570s ace max, the idle temps are high as 50C which is quite a change.. I know that these temps are fine and already below the threshold, but I wonder what causes this 10C difference. At first I thought the new mobo feeds pci-x lines with much higher voltage, but I couldn't find any settnigs.
Any ideas?

You mentioned a new mobo... when you installed it did you reconnect all the case fans, that may be a possible cause?
Also, the settings in the BIOS that control the fan curves are different to your older board, so they are not ramping up as much, or as early, as they previously did?

It looks the case fans are running as it was before. The GPU fans however has the twin frozr feature, which is an msi's special feature that holds the fans until it hits up to 60C.

Have you checked that it idles properly? My old 980Ti refused to do so and always ended up at ~50c idle temp with the fans stopped. Though in my case it was caused by me running multiple monitors and some with higher resolution or refreshrate.

Around 50-55c sounds reasonable on idle with the fans not working at all, depending on your ambient of course. You can have the fans work at 30% after 40c so you don't get that high on idle

It is obvious that these temps are fine with absolutely no harm to anything, but how on earth my old board managed to decrease temp that much?

I have clean formatted my system with Win 10 LTSC 2019 built.

Thats not what I asked, I asked if you have verified that it correctly enters idle states. Which would be what, around 300Mhz GPU and 200Mhz mem, give or take?

I checked the frequencies of core and mem, and it fluctuates too much like it is busy with something.. strange but I couldn't remember what was it like in the old board.

Open Task manager and see if there are any processors preventing the GPU from idling under GPU engine.

If the fans are idle on the GPU, then you're chasing the white rabbit

You can have a 10-15C difference by running a higher refresh rate, higher ambient temps, connecting an extra monitor, changing driver settings to high performance mode in the NVCP, etc.

Agree with you but everyting is the same except the mobo. Same enviorement, monitor, ram, psu and even keyboard
I think it is something with MSI

Sure hope you have a valid license, you little entrepreneur with a flourishing business.

No I don't. Why bothers you?

 

[Cutechri]

Yeah, figured.

 

[mama]

If it does bother you just adjust the fan curve to lower temperature. Or adjust case fan speeds in the BIOS.

In this case a lower temperature may not be a good idea as then the temperature variations are larger and solder fatigue more likely.

Did you install RGB software for your board, something new.

It's using your GPU , mine does.

I don't understand wtf he switched from an AsRock to a msi...

I know right.

But it is worth a try.

Do youhave any M2 drives installed in the slots under where the GPU sits?
