Hi. I bought myself a GTX 1060 3GB a week ago and in games which use more than 80% of the gpu, it reaches up to 92°C temperature. I also have to mention that my case has only one stock fan and does not have to much space besides the one already occupied by the components. Is this normal? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

    Welcome to the forums..No, 92C is definately not normal, that's well beyond the throttle point of 83C and almost to the maximum GPU temperature of 94C..Take the side panel off your PC case to let in more air and see if it matters much..Your case might have insuffient airflow and/or your room temperature may be high..Make sure the fan is working..You can use EVGA Precision XOC to control the fan speed.

    It's definitely not normal for your card to reach 92 C @ 80% usage.
    What is your ambient temp? What is your card cooler (a blower fan or double-triple fan)? Have you tried a custom fan curve?
    One case fan (I would assume exhaust?) may not be enough for your system. Can you take a picture of your system and post it? That would help us a lot to help you.

    Might want to check the thermal paste on the card.

    My case stock cooler stopped working and i did not realise. Sorry for the post. I fixed that and now my temp is around 72°C in full load(ambient temperature 27°C). Thank you all for your time!
