It won't be the same cooler.
On water all 4 of my FXs overvolted and overclocked only hit about 36C.
So much lies in one post I can't take it so am out.
Don't be so rude. Your response is bang out of order and how the hell do you know what is what?
If someone has an option and shares it there is nothing wrong with that. This applies even when that opinion is very different to mine or anyone elses for that matter.
What is wrong is if someone repeatedly tries to force that opinion onto someone else.
People should respect other peoples point of view.
Uhhhh... no.
Neither of my cards has ever reached 84C... even the top card when overclocked and running under load for hours. My case isn't even good for airflow (bequiet base 800).
My top one tends to sit at 70C and the bottom about 65C... that is with a custom fan profile, but the fan speed rarely exceeds 60% and never more than 65%.
Even at 60%, the fans on these are quieter than Titan X / 980Ti at 40%
I have seen a number of reports about a small handful getting to high temps and throttling, but that is the minority - not the majority.
Even now I've been in a game for a few hours (although relatively low GPU load) and the top card has sat at 59C, with the bottom card at 45C... fans hitting 60%
And that's in 30C ambient temps.
The cards run quieter and cooler than the last generation, noticeably.
The reports I've seen of AIB cards are doing even better for temps...
No, they simply do not.
True, I should say that I myself would be loopy for getting this card because I will sell it upon the launch of the full fat chip and to me it's just a waste of resources.
I have a 1080FE in my rig right now and even on stock volts, Stock clocks, Stock settings and with a 1:1 fan ratio, The card easily hits 70'c when running on uncapped frames and my case is well ventilated, has 3 intake fans all blowing towards the GPU, It's only when limiting the frames that the temps are good.
Frames capped at 59 using stock volts, Clocks etc... -

I was certainly waiting for Big Pascal, and I still am. I don't think this is the full chip we'll be getting.
Honestly not a fan of them constantly upping the price. Will see if Big Vega actually brings some decent competition.
That's a fair point and one am Missing!! If he capping at 60fps then I am quite wrong and that most games will run at much lower temps this goes for ALL Gpus ever made though even the MIGHTY hot 290/x
It seems I base all my posts these days expecting people to be running 120hz plus these days.
Since going 120Hz+ I don't think I could go back to 60Hz, Even with the increased temps that comes with it, It's just so smooth I can't believe it's not butter![]()

It won't be the same cooler.
If it was going to be a contender for pushing the likes of the Dell 3017Q's specs then I would have bitten, alas it seems (on paper) it won't be so at the moment; no bounce, no play.
The blower coolers are just not good enough for high end cards, especially 250w TDP.. the cooler on the 1080 with 180w TDP is not even good enough compared to custom cards, they should drop the blower cooler on titan and ti cards. Literally you have to run it at 100% and it still overheats. Maybe not at 1080p 60hz, but at 3440x1440 100hz it does. They should just use coolers like EVGA or Asus or whatever, or do what AMD did and use AIO for the high end cards.
