Omen Obelisk
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, guys.

 

I bought the Omen by HP, Obelisk desktop with rtx 2080 during the BlackFriday sales from Bestbuy. However, I didn't have too much time gaming after purchasing the desktop.

Until today, I finally have some time to play. When I  played World of Warcraft for around 2 hours, I noticed that the GPU temperature went to 83 degree C. Then I played PUBG for another 3 hours with GPU temperature around 86 degree C.

I went to Nvidia website and  under the "specs", I saw that the "Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) is 88" (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080/) which is only 2 degree higher than 86 C.

So, I want to ask if this is normal temperature (for gaming) and if this temperature harmful to GPU? If this is harmful, is there any way to lower GPU temperature?

 

BTW, I  used a 2k 144Hz monitor when gaming, and my gpu temperature stays around 35 degree C if I do nothing.

 

Thanks in advance!
