GTX 1080 ti to hot!

Exhaust the AIO fans and think of a bigger case

I like this case give me a link with a case because bigger case gives me only more HDD space I don't need that or maybe I bij bigger fans that move air around and drill some holes in the case glass where gpu pushes the hot air out?

 

[nashathedog]

Yeah I thought it might affect that I'll should swap it

I think that will help you a lot. I've tried moving airflow every possible way through my case and now I've got two fans pushing air in from the front, two fans pushing air out the top through the radiator and one fan pushing air out the back. That's a mid sized Corsair C70 case which is a little bigger than yours but not that much bigger, pushing hot cpu air into a case the size of yours is going to cause gpu temps to soar. It'll be interesting to hear how switching it around affects temps so keep us updated please

Yeah I shouldf done that in the first place. + Should get one 140mm fan and a fan control to get better airflow not to worked how noisy the pc is

But does anyone know why my dual monitor setup is causing problems when I enter a game it sometimes flickers black and then back in game and again and setting on weird resolution Today I got like horizontal stripes with some green squares. One is 60hz 1080p other 165hz native 2k. Can that cause isue bettven monitors?

I'd be tempted to take the cooler off, repaste with thermal grizzly and compare. My 1080 FTW was running hot so I did this and the temps went from 80c+ down to mid 50's. Massive difference.

Ah man sounds good but I don't want to lose my warantw

 

[Bluntwrapped]

EVGA are fine with you taking the cooler off within warranty just as long as you put it back on if you ever need to send it back.

U sure about that? I will check it out

What gpu have you upgraded from? If it was a AMD card have you removed all traces of the drivers? Driver conflicts can throw up many problems.

With regards to the temps, turn your roof fans so that they are exhausting out of the case and run some games to see what the temps are like before doing anything drastic. This should improve things quite a bit as you will no longer be heating your card up with the hot air from the radiator. Another thing you could do is remove all of the pci blanking plates from the rear of the case to improve getting rid of hot air.

If it should come to it EVGA are indeed fine with cooler removal as long as you don't damage anything.

 

[snips86x]

also you are pulling air in through the CPU AIO which will heat up the case, you could do with a bit more exhaust in that case as the GPU will not actively exhaust hot air.
Perhaps try swapping the top fans to push air out of the case.

yeah, I noticed that the top fans were pulling air in. Since hot air rises, you need them to vent. You'd be surprised at the difference it can make.

Exhaust the AIO fans and think of a bigger case

Given the AIO is on the front, you wouldn't really want it pushing air out.

Front = In
Top = Out
Rear = Out

That'll aid positive pressure.

This was a fresh build and new win installation so no conflict between drivers yeah I change the top fans pushing the air our plus will install 2 extra 140mm fans as a front intake. Been messing around for like an hour gpu temps idle around 38-40 under load 65-67 gpu idle around 45-46 under load 65 ( was running far cry 5 benchmark in 2-3 times in 1080p and 2k) but this is with one monitor plugged in don't know why things get weird when I plug the second monitor in

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yes. In fact, other vendors are being forced to take this stance as it's considered poor practice to void warranty strictly due to removing coolers.

So I bought the card from overclokers and if I change the thermal paste and then something happens with the card not because of me by others reason they will still fix ir with warranty? I understand that correctly

technically only EVGA officially support it, Gigabyte dont mind it (just dont scratch anything) and asus are a no no- msi are no but they dont use warranty screw stickers like asus .

even if evga does support it and you leave damage that doesn't effect the card now, if it fails later on they could bring this up etc etc .

get some paper, draw out the card and screw locations, put the screws there, and when done, put back in

Maybe. Email the shop.

Have looked at the photo of the case, and yes I agree with snips that the AIO heatsink up top should really be exhaust rather than intake.

As it is at the moment, the heat coming through from the AIO heatsink is kind of like pushing the airflow downward, thus getting in the way of the heat from the graphic card at the lower half or the case from reaching the one and one exhaust at the back of the case. Think of being on a train you are trying to get off, but people keep coming in making it difficult for your to reach the exit, as oppose to nobody is coming onto the train but with only people getting off it

I'd send the card back with the cooler on, but as long as there's no physical damage I can't see you'll have any issue with EVGA.

Ow I thought the AIO was at the top, i'd want it exhausting out the top anyway, with air in from the front.

 

[Drollic]

My best guess is badly applied thermal paste and contact. Even when it's well applied and the contact is good, you can easily drop 4-5c under load with top end paste.

hello. just got my EVGA gtx 1080ti ftw3 and after 20-30 min of gaiming the temp sits around 84 degrees it seems a bit to hot!

Hopefully a silly question, but are the fans actually turning? Don't rely on whatever the sensors tell you; physically look yourself. My first Titan X suffered this failure.
