Hello !
 
I have an issue with my card.
It's running super hot under load.
HWiNFO64 report 86.1° and 105.2° for the Hot Spot.
The 2 fans goes to 3300 RPM and are very loud.
The card are not overclocked.
 
Under Hitman 3
- Max GPU Power = 169.795 W
- Max GPU Clock = 1965 MHz
- Max Memory Clock = 1875.2 MHz
 
 
The ambient temperature in my room is around 30°.
My case is a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X with stock fans configuration.
 
Are this model known for running hot ? Or is something wrong ?

Cool your room down to 25C as you can't expect great temps on modern hardware if your room temperature is so high.

OP, it sounds like you need to configure the airflow in your case better.

This is very abnormal because it should be sent for repair first.

I tested again today and got same results.
 
Idle = 50-52° (0 RPM)
Load = 85-86° (~3300 RPM)
Load = 83-84° (~3300 RPM) (side panel open)
Hot Spot = 105°
 
Even if it's very hot in my room, bringing the ambient temperature down to 24° (like most reviews) would still give me like 80° in load.
This model should stay under 70° at load. So i would still be 10-15° off.
Something is clearly wrong.
 
I will try to unmount the card and repaste it the best i can.
I am pretty confortable doing it.
Will update soon.

i just got 3060 xc from antonline.com and card is running too hot and overheating. I don't have exact temps but it gets hot to the touch by the time screen goes black and monitor stops receiving signal. Sometimes ASUS Dark Hero gives me Code 00 and sometimes it doesn't.  Runtime last time before going black i think was less than 30 minutes. I had just got X1 fan software installed and was scanning my gpu when screen went black. Looking for infrared thermometer to give exact temps i am getting. I wasn't sure the fans were spinning at all but while X1 was running i confirmed the fans started to spin. I read reports that the cheap 1030's were overheating but i didn't expect this from the 3060.  Before X1 started scanning the software read the GPU was in the 30's degree zone but was feeling like it might be hotter and i know it was hotter by the time it went black. Thinking of starting the RMA process. Any suggestions?

I already posted the results with side panel open.
It drop by 2°.
 
The card is a 2 fans model, not 3.
The Ryzen 5600X (Tctl / Tdie) goes up to 80°.
Off course, the CPU is not at 100% load under all cores, it's just under the game.

I just noticed the case you are using.  How many fans are you using, where are they located (front, back, top, etc), and which are intake/exhaust?  Just as an idea, depending on your fan situation, you might want to pull the front and top cover off your case as a test and see what that does for you.

The 140s that came with the case I assume.  That case is very airflow constricted, which is why I suggested taking the front and top off and see what your temperatures are like.
 
My suggestion would be to add another fan in front so you have 3 intake, 2 on top as exhaust (it will set up chimney effect to get the hot air out), and leave your rear fan as is.  You still will have the airflow problem at the front and top because of the design of the case and short of leaving the front and top panels off or using a different case, it may still be a problem.
 
ModMyMods (https://modmymods.com/) and a couple of other companies (maybe PPCS) did make replacement airflow panels.  Whether they still do, I do not know.
 
I hope this helps.

So my friends. I am running PC and i got through the X1 Precision OC Scan. HWINFO64 reported my temps
GPU Temp Min 112 F Max 175.2 F towards end of test and average of 144 F or 30 -80 C range
GPU Fans didn't spin above 1600 for most of test and never over 1900 rpm
Motherboard 91 F
CPU package 97 - 109 F
TEMP9 122 F
TS10 97 -109 F
PCH 126 F
Chipset 125 F VRM 116 F 
Case fans on 4 pin didn't go over 900 rpm most of test even though they supposedly can go up to 2000 rpm. Although i think i can program to ramp up. 
I didn't crash through test so that is positive and it took an hour or so to complete. But this is also reference to anybody who believes they are overheating. I still feel like the GPU is hotter to the touch than the 68xx radeon HD amd that i had before it bricked. But that is subjective and i can not be sure. Still looking for infrared thermometer to confirm temperature of GPU while running.
I can not say why i have not crashed as opposed to before. We can hope it is because i gave it time to cool off after installing NVIDIA drivers but i don't consider that reason for overheat. If i can continue with success i will go back to trying to set up dual monitors which was not detecting and lead to the first black screen i got with the 3060xc with windows display drivers. 

For me 70% fan speed seems to be the sweet spot if you wanna run it at that constant, I'd play with the fan curve though cause if the fans are loud they can be annoying when you're just sitting at your desktop.
 
@NethanelIC To my knowledge changing the thermal pads and repasting the GPU doesn't void the warranty so it's safe to do it if that's what's worrying you. If you're afraid of breaking something while doing so and I totally understand that (I wouldn't take things apart either unless I have no other choice) you may wanna try undervolting the card. On my laptop with an rtx 3070 undervolting dropped my temps by like 10c so it's very much worth it. Just look for a guide on youtube it's easy and very safe to do. If that sounds like too much of a hassle you can just drop the power limit in MSI afterburner.

I know it doesn't void my warranty (That why i bought EVGA ) but as i said, market is all over the place now so better not mess with that unless required.
I though off undervolting the card but that seems super complicated to me.
I do not understand how i'm supposed to tell the card to run at certain voltage if the voltage itself is constantly changing by the load.
If i undervolt the card to like 0.9V, it will run at that voltage even in idle ?

You basically edit the curve (your gpu runs according to a frequency/voltage curve similar to how the fans run according to a speed/temp(c)) so that when it's under load it runs at a certain voltage (at a certain max speed) that you set it to, so you may look at it as editing your max point while (sorta) leaving the rest at stock. So it'll still run at a lower clock and lower voltage when idle.

I will definitely try that ! Thanks you.

What do you mean by optimize the fans ?
I did load the most quiet profile for the case fans in the BIOS but didn't spent too much time on this because i knew a new BIOS version was coming soon.

If i remember correctly, i think i did that.

@OP, I have test data for the EVGA 3060 XC (sku 3657) as follows:
 
GPU stress test (Firestrike Extreme), Overclocked, default BIOS fan profile.  Open case per sig.
 
GPU-Z
GPU temp max = 73C
GPU Hotspot max = 85C
Ambient temp = 24C
GPU load = 99%
Fan ratio max = 79%
Fan speed max = 2300RPM
Board Power max = 169W
GPU Voltage = 1.0810V
Max Boost OC = 2070MHz
Memory OC = 2000MHz
 
My results correlated to your room temp of 30C:
my GPU temp max = 79C < your data is 5C higher
my GPU Hotspot max = 91C < your data is 14C higher
 
Opinion: I would try to re-paste the card or RMA it.  Contact EVGA tech support.
