Hi,
I'm writing this because I've recently seen a spike in GPU temperature, while gaming in Bootcamp on my iMac Pro (8c CPU, Vega Pro 64).
I always turn up the fans at max (2500rpm) with Macs Fan Control in macOS, and then boot into Windows/Bootcamp. Before playing Witcher 3 in 1440p (or games in 4K) would end up with GPU temps in high 80s, getting up into the low 90s where the framerate would be at 60fps or below (t.b.vsync+framelimit@59). Now during hot summer days the temperature within a few minutes goes up to 95C, and from then hovers between 90-100C in the most demanding areas. The GPU temperature maxes out at 101C. Dust shouldn't be a problem anyway, because I'm keeping my apartment fairly clean.
It would be great hearing from other iMac Pro users who game. We're not a big crowd, so hopefully others here can give some insights. Should I just play and enjoy, and stop looking at the temperature? Having the GPU run up to 100C can't be good for longevity?
Thanks.
