2080ti temps when gaming

oweneades said:
I was looking at the EVGA Hybrid option as well, but in the end I decided to bite the bullet and go full custom WC. Just really took my time prepping and building the system to ensure no leaks / correct fitment.

When I looked at the G12 I was also thinking about getting some of the little RAM heatsinks to add onto the exposed memory modules.

IIRC Gamers Nexus looked at the VRM side of things and concluded that the airflow from the fan was enough to cool them (plus they are designed to run hot). You can always get heatsinks to go on the VRM's if necessary anyway.

EDIT: Might be worth searching for their (GN) video on fitting an AIO to a 2080Ti.

I wouldnt advise the G12, the EVGA 2080ti I had also had VRMs on the left side of the GPU that the fan doesnt touch. From experience you need heatsinks on all RAM and VRM's for best results.
I then tried the EVGA Hybrid on my 2080ti and the card lasted about 10 minutes with all temps saying it was fine I monitored them closely as I was nervous fitting it on a £1000 card and it was saying at 55c then half way through a 3D Mark FireStrike test I smelt really bad burning smell so immediately shut off the PC. The 2080ti had gone faulty. Took off the Hybrid and checked everything was ok even the TIM had got good contact but the 2080ti just died. Luckily EVGA replaced it under RMA. I then sold it.

Great addition. :)

I was only going on what I had read / watched in relation to the Founders cards.

So you wouldn’t recommend the G12 or the EVGA hybrid kit?
 
Can we go into what your case is and airflow before you hybrid it, cos if its some daft tiny case, or 0.0005mm from the top of the PSU like you see sometimes it's pointless comparing it to some other guy who gets 70c in his windtunnel of a case :)

Sorry, should have made that clear already.

It’s a Fractal Define R6 case with an ASUS Maximus XI Hero Mobo, the gpu is sat in the top x16 PCIe slot, so got a fair bit of distance from the PSU. I’ve got four fans as intake, three on the front and one in the middle bottom. Got two exhausts, one in the middle top and one at the top rear. Only thing I don’t like about the case/fans at the moment is that the bottom intake fan is under the perforated PSU shroud and there are some cables sitting above it, not on it however.
I have room to add two more exhausts to the top of the case and one more intake at the bottom. However, I would probably struggle to get the bottom intake in.

That’s a good shout. Can’t remember the name of the case I use but it’s big, I’ve 3 intake fans on the front, 3 exhaust on the top of the case and an additional exhaust at the rear.

My Zotac sits at 69C unless I OC the crap out of it, even during the hot weather. Running the 380W BIOS on it takes the temps up to 72-74C.

Sounds good, EVGA tend to stick lots of temp sensors on their cards these days, your using precision, how many temp senors can you read?

Again you maybe comparing to someone with a brand that doesn't monitor as many temps. Low 80'x is fine, honest, just enjoy your card :)
 
I used the EVGA hybrid kit on my 1080ti and it was fantastic. 45 max temps, pretty much same as custom loop.

Im even tempted to transfer custom loop 2080ti to hybrid as its just easier to maintain than a full custom loop.
 
Always wanted an AIO for one a 360mm frontal option would be killer for my case and a 280mm on top. The price is insane though 1300 for an aio card or 990 for two fan. See the logic?

300 markup on a gpu aio.

Yea but the base FTW cards are then 1200 ish. The zotac card with two fans is only £990. So how do they come to the price of the current AIO versions when you can get a EVGA blower for £1050. Thats £1050 but also factoring in the cost of the blower cooler. Its a really rip off segment of the market i wish it was common like on processors.


If i wanted a 5yr warranty and an AIO EVGA want about £150 + £30 plus the ftw3 base price is £1200. The Aorus is about £1300 also.
