1080Ti Overheating idle?

[tyler_jrb]

Thanks yeah The card is perfect, was tempted to use liquid metal on the GPU but not sure if this is worth the risk?

I fitted mine with liquid metal which on an air cooler will get you to around 70ish c vs 75c.

The gaming x already has good paste on it from factory.

Not really worth the risk unless doing liquid cooling as you get very similar temp losses.

Plus you have to remove and refit the warranty sticker, which is quite easy but still run the risk of killing the card or damaging the sticker.

I wouldn't.

To me 70+ is high, it maybe normal if you have a poor heatsink or an air blower, but since I got my palit which had proper cooling I got used to lower temps, and with tuning of the fan curves as well as undervolting I have my auros 1080ti nowhere near 70C now and thats air cooled.

My gtx 1070 would sit in mid to high 40s in most games, and in 50s in very demanding games.
My 1080ti sits about 5-10C higher on average as its cooler is inferior to the palit, but still havent seen it above low 60s yet. Most games its 45-55C.

I know the msi armour card had a really bad heatsink.

Noob question but how do I undervolt

 

[chrcoluk]

use the voltage curve in afterburner.

set a flat line at the mhz you want starting at a lower than stock voltage for that speed bin and the card will use the left side of it aka the lowest voltage. Thats the proper way to tune a card, the +mhz on the main UI is really lame compared to the voltage curve.

Depends on a lot of variables. Have tried the Ti aourus before and they are quite a bit noisier than the gaming X is.

If you put the card under max load, overclocked etc (V-sync off, 4k for example) you will see it over 70c easily.

 

[chrcoluk]

I already did that.

The thing is overclocked the lazy way will use stupid volts, if you undervolt you can get same clocks with less volts which in turn means less heat, and yes cooler quality makes a difference.

At 2025mhz (very respectable clock for a 1080ti) in a benchmark 100% gpu utilisation, vsync off so uncapped framerates the card hits 62C. Granted it will probably hit 70C in mid summer.

However I am talking about gaming, most games dont max out GPUs unless you for some reason play with uncapped framerates. In this respect benching and max load are both unrealistic expectations for a high end GPU.

hey again bud, did the unlock voltage controls but it just shows CORE VOLTAGE slider i can't set it to minus?

Also mines under load goes to 1987 with 105% power limit ( makes 0 dif if i increase), is this okay?

Thanks

It’s not unrealistic. 1440p 165hz or 4k 60hz is what I run and use 24/7 and most games will utilise the gpu to 99% most of the time unless it’s a low requirement game.

165hz and G-sync in bf1 for example means the gpu is at 99% most of the time. 4k I normally set so it doesn’t dip below 60frames which is usually around 90% 24/7.
