Just wondering if my card temp is to high , my system gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 , ryzen 1600 with water cooling , gtx 1080 ti , the game I use is dirt rally- Quality settings is high , res .3840x2160 hits about 80 Fps but dose drop in 70s and moves back up , Temperature reading goes up to 84c . is this safe I have the gpu fan running on full but it doesn't seem to have any effect on reducing the temperature .
 
If you have any spare thermal paste lying around a repaste of the GPU core would probably help. Especially if you have the fan at full pelt and it’s not making a difference to temps. I recently did my 1080 and it’s as if it has a new cooler on there. From 80 odd c down to high 50’s. Quite a drop! Idle temps are so much cooler too.
 
My 1080 FE hits 84c when gaming but the fan speed reports it's only at 60%

It's never gone above 84c and the fan speed has never increased either.
 
I think the 1080Ti throttles at 84c so you'll be losing performance.
I have a KFA2 1080Ti which isn't the best, however it never goes above 71c (80% fan) and that's in a micro ATX case.

Sounds like you need better case cooling.

Does your water cooled CPU blow the hot air into your case by any chance? If so, it should be blowing the air out through the radiator... I can't see any other reason your GPU would run that hot.
 
Depends on what card you got, my friend asus ROG Strix 1080ti never go above 75c but my ti mini can hit 84c easily when gaming and clock speed throttles (max 1835mhz but usually less) . I removed the cooler and went for AIO, now never go above 55c with clock speed stable @ 1895 mhz.

Anyway, as mentioned above you better try changing the thermal paste first and see any improvement.

hi , my case is Eclipse P300 , yes I have the radiator on the front of the case with 2fans pushing air into the case on to the radiator , I have a fan on the rear pushing air out , So do you think it would be best to try this! rear fan pushes cool air in to case and the two front fans bush air out ?

Yes!!

You are roasting the inside of your case with hot CPU air, this will be the number 1 reason why your graphics card is hitting 84c
 
I would tend to agree with the others here that you have insufficient cool air coming in to the case. If you have a front mounted radiator then it may not be enough ( I assumes its a front mounted double radiator ). Especially because the Phanteks front intakes ( in the panel ) are really small. The 1080ti dumps enough warm air in to the case to heat a small room plus the fact that a front mounted radiator with no additional input of cold air will increase the temperature of the graphics card. Sure, if you reverse the flow it will help the GPU but then you will get significantly worse CPU temps. As a temporary measure you can just increase the flow of air through the case by using a more aggressive profile on your water cooler, but ultimately I would have to say that I would plan on replacing your case for one that has a greater number of fans on the front so you can front mount your radiator and add an additional fan to draw in cold air to keep that 1080ti cool.

well its didn't work getting the same results, I think the case dose not help the problem the gpu is lower than the rear fan that is pushing cool air in but I need another rear low fan under the gpu to get cool air to the gpu fans , A new case probably would help but I am thinking about trying to mod this case if I can get a small fan 50mm to fit in the back rear of the case to pull in cool air it might work,
 
That wouldn't be ideal at all, leave the radiator fans pushing into the case, the rear fan as an exhaust, and you can have another fan mounted up top, use that to exhaust too, that should get rid of some of that hot air that's rising in the case, 0 point blowing in cold air from the rear as its doing nothing and going out the top of the case, Front and bottom intake, rear and top out, follow the airflow natural direction and should lower it.

But the radiator fans will be Pushing warm air in to the case , they is a rear and a top fan if I need to take out the air but where will the cool air come from . also its a double fan on the front its pushing warm air along to the gpu fans that face down this will then get sucked up to the gpu . one thing that might work is on the two front radiator fans the top one can push air in to the case and maybe leave the bottom one to push air out to stop warm air passing the gpu fans , I did fit a small fan at the rear bottom which I want to push cool air in under the gpu fans .
 
Ignore, did not see you were running at full blast on the fan in which case even founders does not perform that bad normally.

gtx 1080 ti, inno 3d twin x2 , 11gb , I did put the gpu fans to full because it was hitting 84c with the fans on full the temps stays at 84c. - 82 .

Is the coldplate even making contact? What sort of clock speeds is the card boosting to at those temps? Boost 3.0 is aggressive, but not to the extent at stock that the card's fan's running full title means its still hitting 84 degrees, more so with an aftermarket cooler. Also do you get those temps with side case open with fans at full pelt? with an open air cooler like that which draws in cool air and forces it down through the finstack, if you try with your case open which means plenty of cooler air and it still hits 84 degrees, then I would say something is up.

as It stands the two front radiator fans are pushing air out , my top rear fan is pushing air in two the case , I also have a small fan at the bottom rear pushing in cool air , It was hitting 84 I noticed on the front case there is a small grid top and bottom to let air out or in and it looks like it cant handle the two fans push air out , so I pulled the front case off and its reading 79 - 80 , gpu fan running at 89 speed , the my other fans are running at normal speed . played on the game about 20 mins 80 - 90 - 100 fps

today I decided to do more tests on the gpu , I changed the 2x radiator fans back to pushing air in to the case this time my friend cut most of the front case metal out and fitted a grill to help more air flow in to the radiator fans , back fans pulling air out of case , game on max settings, gpu fan on 95 speed -temperature rests at 67c to 68 c when playing in game, gpu clock speed seems to change 1886,1860, 1848,1810 , fps changes from 66 to 87 . do you think 67c-68c is normal for this gpu?-
