***The Official 1080 Overclocking Thread***
- Thread starter easyrider
- Start date
I just want posts with what I have asked so I compare clocks without sifting through other stuff
Idle or under full load?
36C under full load overclocked even under water I am calling BS.
MSI Seahawk 1080 in custom loop with 360 rad and CPU
GPU Max Clock 2012
Memory +400 from base
Max temp 72 which was in Overwatch at 2560x1080 with all settings at Ultra @ 144Hz gsync
OP in a nutshell.
could have asked for more info seen as you usually can get a better OC for benching and usually less for game stable.
ASIC quality?
also temps can differ from game to game i find. Id rather put it under a stress test to see full load temp.
How was OC achieved? Reference or AIB Air/AIO cooling or custom water cooling seen as these cards are sensitive to temps.

Is your GPU the only thing the predator is cooling? Your temps look promising as I've got a MSI Sea Hawk EK X and just ordered a predator 280 which will just cool the GPU only. A bit overkill for a single GPU, but I've always wanted sub 40c maximums.

Low ambient temps and/or locked FPS (60) will probably give you sub 40c temps.
72 degrees with a Hybrid / watercooled card? Sound way above the norm to me.
But a 'roll of honour' thread takes the nobel prize? Some of us aren't interested in online piddling contests or posting endless pics of what's essentially the same card wrapped in different shells. This is a far more interesting thread
The Predator 360 cools both the CPU & GPU. CPUs tested with it, 4930K @4.5, [email protected] and [email protected]. The latter runs the hotter, hence it gets to 36C on load pretty fast. Otherwise with the 4820K and 4930K it took quite some time to get from 32C to 36C.
Temps above are for full load at 100% fan speed while benching. Idle is between 19-21.
When playing games, the fans running at 80% and temps go all way to 38-39ish.
Now, why your Seahawk has such high temps I do not know. Check your loop, water, rads, pump, or the paste used on the GPU.
When initially fit the block used the EK Ectotherm (similar to AS5), and the supplied EK pads, temps were hovering at around 50.
Replaced the TIM with Thermal Grizzly Cryonaut which is THE top of the range paste. And also the pads were replaced with Thermal Grizzly Minus 8.
The load temps dropped by 14C and the idle temps by 17C.
That allowed me to get off the 2164 core, all way to 2190. And if somehow manage to keep full load temps bellow 32C, the card is doing happily 2204.
Alas I need to mod a Predator 240 (remove the CPU block) or go with custom loop and a 480 rad, sending the flow to the GPU first (Predator Flow is CPU then GPU) if I want to achieve that.
And if you still do not believe me, please have a browse at the Firestrike Standard, Extreme and Spy threads in here and check my scores.

1080 EVGA FTW
24/7 Clock for gaming
106% PL
86c Temp Limit
Core - 2000mhz minimum extended period under load (+30mhz)
Mem - 10602mhz (5301mhz +300mhz)
Temp Max - Never seen above 74c in a hot room, around 70%-80% fan speed
Thread doesn't work so well with Pascal unless you specify what you're after. A clock speed that drops after 10 minutes gaming/benching isn't a true clock speed to me. Apparently a lot of people are running their memory at speeds where correction is kicking in as well. Supposedly around 10800-11000mhz or more.

wow that's low whats the ambient temp in your room like?
that's the highest gpu temp i have.. most of the time hovers around 60.. some games seem to just push it that bit further.. CPU in the loop never hits above 50 so cooling seems fine.
the sea hawk has the EK block pre fitted
With EK Ectotherm no doubt. If you can replace the TIM without breaking the warranty of the card, you might improve the temps.
Room ambient I have no idea because the thermostat is near the landing, but is warm room.
