A user with an RTX 4070 Ti reported that running local AI models like Minimax and Qwen pushes GPU temperatures to 80°C–87°C, compared to just 60°C–70°C during gaming.
Despite recent maintenance like repasting and undervolting via MSI Afterburner, sustained high loads from AI inference continue to cause thermal concerns. They are asking the community for alternative cooling solutions beyond using an air conditioner.
