Also, try moving the card to a different location on your rig. Sometimes, a hot card is just sucking in the hot air from the backplate of the one next to it.

I'd try this option as the card above and below seem to be drawing more power meaning there putting more heat out and probably making the card inbetween suffer

I have a fair number of machines that randomly have a hot card like this. Ive always chalked it up to chip quality, its just luck of the draw.

Does it ever result in your machine crashing more often than others? Mine goes down at least once every 24 hours. I've upped the fan to 72% to see if that improves stability.

gigabyte cards are meh.

set the oc clocks lower on it.

if you are running windows 10 and use msi afterburner it is a pain in the ass to do it.

but it can be done set all cards 1 at a time

Expanding on Philip's post, I'd suggest downloading EVGA Precision or a similar GPU customization tool, and reduce the GPU and Memory Clock offsets. You can also set a temperature specific target, which should prevent crashing and card burnouts (I've had a FTW 1070 go up in flames, so keep it on the lower end of the tolerance range).

I have one Gigabyte 1070 GTX that runs 82deg steady with fans on auto at 55%. I turn the fan up to 100% and it drops the temp down to 68deg (yea we keep it cool in here). All other cards run 68-72deg on auto fans. This card is the 3 fan gigabyte card. All the other cards are 1 or 2 fan cards.

I've reapplied arctic thermal paste to this card and it doesn't make any change at all.

Only fix seems to be running the fan harder.

Are these just a bad design card that just run hotter, or is there something else I'm missing?
