Hello 
 
Wondering if it's normal for it to Idle at 54C?    I assume both fans are working as far as i know,  not too great with PC hardware aspect of things,  Precision X1 shows Fan 1.    Is it suppose to say Fan 2 for my Geforce 1660 Super SC Ultra Gaming Card?     Did plug in the PCI-e cable,  seems to be performing fine in games,  but did notice 1 game eariler was up to 85 C,  not sure if thats bad for it or not
 
Details of System
OEM Asus G11CD Case, previous card Geforce 1050 2gb
Intel I7 7700
Artic Freezer Pro 7 CPU Cooler
1 PCI-e x16 slot, previously had a bracket to hold the old card up, wouldn't fit onto new card, or be able to close case, so i left that alone for now
Ambient temp is around 70 i think, or maybe a bit higher, but starting to cool off now
just a bit worried still

    Shouldn't be idling that high.
     
    Here are the top causes of why a GPU would run at elevated clocks at idle which will increase idle temps...
     
    #1 You're running multiple monitors. Fix: Enable mutil display power saver using nvidia inspector.
    #2 Your machine has a virus. Fix: Scan computer using malwarebytes.
    #3 One or more programs running in the background are using your GPU. Fix: Perform a clean boot of windows.
    #4 Power management mode inside the nvidia control panel is set to prefer maximum performance. Fix: Set power management mode to adaptive then reboot your computer.
    #5 Running a resolution of 2560x1440 @ 144Hz. Fix: Change refresh rate to 120Hz.
    #6 K-Boost is enabled inside Precision X. Fix: Disable K-Boost.
    #7 Shadowplay is enabled inside geforce experience. Fix: Disable shadowplay inside geforce experience OR completely uninstall geforce experience from your machine (highly recommended)
     
    85c is within spec. Max allowed temp for your card is 93c. Might want to check the thermal paste on the card and make sure it's applied correctly.

    The Geforce 1660 Super SC Ultra Gaming Card does not have independent fan control. You will only see fan1 option in the precision x1 software. 54c is warm for you card at idle loads, can you verify as well that your core frequencies are also at an idle state when the temps are this high? More than likely there is an application or program in the back round utilizing the GPU, such as chrome or discord (which both have hardware acceleration).

     Ok I Game at 1080P,   Prefer Maxmium Performance was set in Nvidia Control Panel,  Think Shadowplay disabled now,  Not comfortable messing with Thermal paste as never ever done that aspect of things,    Gonna make sure K-boost isn't enabled, and restart and see how system is after that--Hopefully better, and then i'll be nice and happy with the system
     
    Airflow in this case i know isn't the best, but its all i can afford right now, eventually may upgrade case to a better airflow one when i can
     
    *After Restart, will do virus scan with Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes, and hopefully all clean*

    What are you temps under load while gaming? While your idle temps are on the high side they really aren't going to hurt anything in your card. As long as your card isn't climbing to 90C under load your card will be fine.

    Well while playing Battlefield early afternoon yesterday noticed the fans running louder than usual,  Temp showed during that game 86C,   Mind you my case is not the best for airflow,   i'd have room for a front fan if Asus didn't decide to run the power wires for RGB lightning thru a like tube right smack in the middle of what would probably be front fan mount.
     
    did disable boost clock that didn't even know was on in Precision X1 software late last night,  set Nvidia power mode to adaptive,  disabled Shadowplay, hopefully today when  i do more gaming on that system the temps are more reasonable.    This is my first dual fan video card ever, and system is not a Custom rig with good airflow type case, but gonna start planning to have case upgraded by local shop eventually soon as i get the money saved up to do that
     
    if you wanna look up online the particular system i'm using it's Asus G11CD-K desktop, with Intel I7 7700,  or i can try to find a picture here of the case if i got one somewhere around here.

    This is most likely your issue. You're exhausting too much hot air into your case for your card's idle temp to drop any further. Your best bet might be to orient all your fans to exhaust to keep trying to dump the hot air out. You may need to get creative to get a front fan mounted to increase airflow.

    Thinking of purchase at some point as well vented pci slot covers, don't know if they will help any, but guess can't hurt as far as i know.    All the Fans are currently oriented as Exhaust at the moment, as way this case designed isn't much else can do unforuately.  I still may go ahead and purchase a larger case if shop can transfer all the hardware lol,  might cost me somewhere between $100 or more maybe with the labor and all that.
     
    Will look at all my options and go from there in the end though.   Performance of the new card is night and day from my old Geforce 1050 2gb though

    Nothing wrong with the GPU and temps are still within spec.

    I would venture into getting a new case.  You could find something decent sub $50 range and surely sub $100.  I think it's worth to consider since that case stays with you throughout your upgrade paths as long as you allow.
