RTX 2080ti- aio options

Mcthommo · 26 Mar 2019 at 11:56

my sister has got a Palit RTX 2080ti Gaming OC which appears to be working ok but temps are pushing 80s when gaming. Have tried to increase fan curve but then it sounds like a hovercraft.
Is there an AIO that could be used as she does not want to to back to watercooling at this time- I have seen that a Kraken G12 will fit but not sure about cooling on some of the VRMs
Any thoughts good people of Overclockers forum-land

Your temps seem normal for any gpu to me https://www.anandtech.com/show/1334...x-2080-ti-and-2080-founders-edition-review/16 unless its really noisy when gaming?

I would in this situation return the palit and buy the ASUS rtx 2080ti thats on special price at overclockers till end of this month. Its a better card and cooler, having said that your temps are normal but it could also depend on whether there is adequate airflow in your case, that can also help with heat buildup.

thanks for the replies- shes ordered a new case so I'll find out what that brings and look at it then

She wants me to try the g12 with a x72 cooler as she’s got them lying around- sisters eh, who’d have them

No problem but be warned that you will void your warranty with PALIT if you remove the cooler. If there are any stickers that say void if removed would not go ahead with your plan. 2080Ti have high failure rate or seem to by dying at random and if you dont have warranty in 6 months time because if palit see that you have tampered with it they will not honour the warranty.

I would double and treble check with palit to see if your have permission to remove the cooler.

2080TI without warranty cover is near useless.

Normal yes, but GPUBOOST 4.0 hates heat, at 80c the card must be running about 100mhz slower than it would at 50c, and that's stock, overclock the card and that difference will only grow bigger

Undervolt it. Use OC Scanner with Power Limit on 90%. Take note of the recommended frequency for 1.0v and make that the max voltage and frequency. Increase Power Limit again, to allow for spikes.

If the card is limited by heat, or power, or both, good chance the overclock will effectively be faster than at stock at higher voltages. And will stay cooler and quieter.

Thanks for these ideas will try them on her first- Sister not the easiest to please- probably the reason she is still single :eek:

EK MLC and you can keep it for the next GPU also, only change the block.
And as you are to it, add the CPU also

they can't void the warranty because you've removed the cooler.

The price of this is huge- around £500 just for a rad and gpu block :eek:

LOL. Where you got those prices from?
240mm rad module costs £103
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-w...nix-240mm-radiator-core-module-hs-004-ek.html
and you can get the 120mm module for less if you watercool only the card

Then you need another £160 for the waterblock EK MLC prefilled EK-Vector RTX 2080 TI RGB
(it comes with the fittings and liquid ready to plug, not just the block alone).

At what point in time those cost £500?

Mcthommo · 27 Mar 2019 at 10:12

was reporting in US$ and it had added 2 blocks- stupid boy

I have a Predator 360 which is more restrictive than the MLC, and is the best investment ever did.
Currently using non EK waterblocks also, but using the fittings and QDC tubbing to do my job from an previous waterblock

Also have modded the CPU block to monoblock for the Z370-I Strix.

It has all the benefits of proper custom watercooling, none the drawbacks and it needs draining, flushing and refilling ever 24-36 months. FYI Just did mine few weeks back when left Britain, after 3 years constant used and numerous waterblocks changes.

Think I will try and see if a 240 fractal design will fit the kraken G12 and see what it’s like- day can always put the original cooler back on I suppose while I look at the Phoenix option

EVGA RTX 2080 TI FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING

I think I'm in love :eek:

(How to tell the wife though lol).

Stock Boost Clock 1755 MHz (+13.6%)
Stock Memory Clock 1750 MHz
19 Power Phases
Dedicated memory plate in direct contact with the water block
EVGA iCX2 Technology (9 Additional Thermal Sensors)

I bet it OCs like a dream.

Grim5 · 28 Mar 2019 at 00:55

19 power phases, but doesn't have 500w watt bios
im confused, with 19 phases, that boost clock could be 1900mhz out of the box

Now, THIS is a nice EVGA AIO 2080ti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InaiDvFs4aA

Tell your wife you need a bigger budget and get the Kingpin

They can if they place "void if removed" stickers over the screws.
