My bedroom is going to be toasty tonight!

I don't have HWMonitor open all that often, but playing a new release (the quite pretty Lake), I noticed the case was kinda warm, so opened it up. My RTX 3080 was probably the hottest it's ever been. All the other temps seem fine, but that GPU temps, especially the memory temp topping 100 is a lil on the high side!

It's a warm evening, so perhaps I should stick to less GPU-intensive games for a bit!

I'm guessing your case fans are linked to the CPU temperature? That doesn't seem to have got very hot, so they probably didn't ramp up very fast. You could try putting the fans on a higher setting when you're doing intense graphics card load but relatively minor CPU load like this.

I’m sure my Ryzen 7 5800X temps are much higher in gaming than your’s seems to be.

Corsair AIO temp never goes above 35°c though.

Maybe it‘s just AC Valhalla and Far Cry 5 though, as I don’t notice it in F1 2020 or Forza Horizon 4

This is about 30 seconds aftershutting down AC Valhalla.

Thought I'd put the system through a bit of a workout after updating BIOS, VBIOS, and chipset drivers...and enabling resizable BAR, so had MSFS running for an hour at 1440p Ultra - with all the live options on, and here's my temps after a few mins or quitting to desktop...coincidence, or just MSFS not as power hungry as AC Valhalla?

All fine.... carry on

Man, it's like when I listen to music, after about 30 minutes, the temperature in the entire room raises by a couple of degrees just from the amp. Lovely in winter!

Sounds like we may have very similar listening... ahem... levels

Lake - it's a relaxing game that places you as a woman in a small town doing postal deliveries. It's not going to be for everyone, but I find it relaxing. Work's kinda tough at the moment, so I find myself wanting something to totally destress after work, and casual/adventure-type games are very much what I need right now.

I think I watched GameRiot playing this on youtube for an hour...that hour went quite quickly and I was really zoned out!

Did a bit of reading up and apparently GDDR6X thermal throttles at about 110 degrees, so some games heating it up into the 90s and briefly up to 102 degrees isn't ideal, it's nothing to worry about.

That's what I said

As an inquisitive soul, I like to know the "whys" of a situation. So yep, you did say that, but I still wanted to know why those temps are fine. And now I know!

I know, I was just messing
