Like I said in the title, my 3060 cannot go reach 70°C at all, even when I stress test the card many times without letting it cool down, the temperature just drops the instant it reaches 70. Is it thermal throttling? If it is then isn’t 70°C a bit low for that?

    Are you using something to monitor frequency?

      I use MSI Afterburner & RTSS

        I’m not familiar with with of those in a monitoring capacity.

        Try https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html as well maybe?

        If you’re stress testing it, your expect to see the card ramp up in temp. So my thinking is the card isn’t actually getting to and maintaining a real 100%.

          HWMonitor shows the same readings, and Afterburner + RTSS is widely used to monitor system status though
