ASUS 1080ti FE on full load temps at 71 degrees

[justwondering]

Okay, just fitted my Asus 1080ti FE yesterday, I ran heaven benchmark with no OC and the temps where hanging around the 80 to 83 mark after 25 minutes.

I oc the card 90 plus 400 on the memory extra power limit too , set a custom fan curve so that when it hits the high 60's to mid 70's on temps the fan runs at 65 percent.

I have my fractal design R4 case fans running on full (fairly quite still)

My 1080ti now runs at 71 degrees while using unique heaven for over 1 hour....

All temp readings and settings via Afterburner.

71 degrees sounds almost too good to me based on the reviews I have read or are the temps about right?

That sounds ok to me....but I bet it's noisy!

Honestly no it is far from noisy, my pc is under my 65 inch 4k TV in a good case for noise the fractal design R4.

I'm around 10 foot from the screen and with the volume on a normal level for gaming, it is totally unnoticeable.

On a evening I play with my headphones in, so it's perfect

71 is good for a FE but depends on how fast your R4 case fans are running at and how close the fans are to the 1080TI close/faster cooler quiter

my 1080 FE was hitting 83C stock with a 65C fan curve i was seeing 73C

I run the original ones that the case came with, with h80i for my cpu mounted on the back of the case.

I presume due to it running at 71 degrees on load that I should not suffer any thermal throttling on the card? Is that correct?

I've set my Strix 1080ti fans up to just under 70% at load (modest hiss at that speed) and I hit a firm max of 67 degrees. I still get some throttle (down to 1974MHz) from a high of 1999MHz, and whatever I set I can't get past 1999MHz. People underwater seem to be able to edge past 1999MHz.

thats not throttling!

throttling would be below reference clocks...

OK, learned.
It is some kind of restriction of clock speed though - what is it called?

Throttling.

 

[justwondering]

Just currently playing around with the settings using afterburner and Heaven benchmark.

Currently using a custom curve on the fan, when the temps hit 60 to set the fan to run at 75 percent

Oc power limit at 120, core clock 120 and memory 450.... I get a constant temp of 62... Yes with no volume on my display or no headphones in, you can hear it, but not noticeable with the volume up to normal gaming levels or with my headset in.

Same settings with fan at 65 which is quite pushed the temps upto a constant 66 degrees.

If you want to go silly, fans at 100 percent, temps drop to a constant 56 degrees...!

Throttling.

@Safetytrousers

again throttling is clock speed below Reference speed shown by the manufacturer

Manufacturer (strix 1080ti)
OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1632 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1518 MHz
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1607 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1493 MHz

Throttling would be below
1518Mhz or 1493Mhz clock speed

if you are having fluctuating clocks /hitting the power limit/GPU Boost limit would be
1518Mhz+
1493Mhz +

people really need to learn the correct terms, it confusing newer users & makes everyone jump to My cards Throttling, when it not

Seems a bit down considering the premium price of a strix, my Super Jetstream happily sits at 2050 with fans at about 60% (all but inaudible) with the occasional dip to 2025 if it gets a bit warmer.

 

[SupraWez]

Temps sound similar to my 1080ti FE when clocked, I also run the fans up and don't notice under most conditions.

I personally prefer the exhaust design of FE / reference cards, they proved to be much better back when building mining rigs where the cards were running flat out days / weeks / months at a time.

 

[D1craig]

is throttling not another term for "slowing down"?

it is still throttling just not throttling past the clocks they have stated the card will achieve...

Bro it's called throttling... It's GPU Boost 3.0 and it's what it does when you hit a certain limit. Temp, power or voltage.

GPU boost makes your card throttle from anywhere from 32 degrees (though its hit and miss at 32 for me). I notice it throttle from 42 degrees drops me 13 Mhz off my core clock regardless of load. Though i rarely hit 42 degrees only in GPU stress tests such as benchmarks. That is throttling. It will also do it when hitting GPU power limit which FE has 120%.
It's same with CPUs they will throttle, you notice it more in laptops when hitting certain temps it's no different. Just because the card is running past it's advertised speeds does not mean it no longer throttles... What would you call it? Slowing down? AKA throttling...

You need to learn what throttling is and what GPU Boost 3.0 does before telling people they are wrong.

Let me put this another way. Turn your fans off on your card... Then underclock it so boost hits the advertised reference speeds. Then run it under stress and watch it throttle way under its advertised speeds. It's still the same effect even when GPU boost has it boosting the cards frequency over its advertised speed. Its what GPU boost does. It also underclocks the card aka throttles when it hits any limit. You can also manually overclock the card so it boosts higher but it will still throttle.


Also @ OP that's roughly what i saw on my FE cooler. Mine was around 60% fans speed tops though at around 70 tops. Got a 200mm fan blowing air directly on my gpu though.

Any time a cpu or gpu reduces performance in response to a programmed temperature or power limit then that is called throttling. The fact that you've overclocked the core to cause it is irrelevant, you are still hitting a limiter which is preventing you from aiming higher.
