Hi guys. I have a bit of a problem. I've just built my new PC and it contains 2 2080 ti cards. I know why 2? The money was available so I thought why not. The problem I have is that the cards are so close together that the temps are up in the 87 89. Its a corsair crystal case that they are installed in.

Any ideas on what I can do ? Or is the last resort water cooling them?


Thanks

Water cooling. If you want to do it the easy way, get EK mlc
 
Wow. Quick reply thanks. I'm trying to upload a picture to show the problem but thanks for the advice. Was thinking that myself. Will update with a picture. Cant seem to do it from my phone
 
The cheap alternative is to have an open bench and maybe point a fan or two at the cards. Though with 2 2080tis I suspect that's probably not the chief concern. Otherwise, yeah, not much to do besides WC.

GL with that, the planning is a PITA but also oh so fun.
 
Hey thanks for replies and info. I will upload a picture as it is currently when I get back home. By the way, will i void both the cards warranty by dismantling them for WC ?
 
Here is that picture. I will need to water cool both cards so can anyone help me with what I will need to WC both? Im new to that sort of stuff. Don't need to WC the CPU as it's already got a Corsair cooler on it. My take is that I will need the GPU blocks a pump, reservior and radiator ?

No wonder when there is that much gap between the cards :p

Ideally you need at least 1-2 slot gap which will equate to around 1" - 1 1/2" between them and underneath to allow the fans to work properly as it were as sandwiched together like that then they suffer due to poor airflow.

Hehe yeah I know but it's the only way I can connect them to this mobo which is the Gigabyte arous master

You can watercool them if temps are an issue. Although the case won't allow for a great deal however.

Realistically you are looking at a single 360mm in the front and a top mounted 240mm in that case. I dont think you could fit more and even then it will be a tight squeeze.

Most of that you will have to measure yourself and choose an appropriate thickness radiator. Otherwise yes just 2x ekwb 2080Ti FE velocity waterblock, 2080ti FE backplate and appropriate sized d5 pump + res combo + fittings.

But as someone else has said problem with asus is you may end up loosing your warranty when removing the cooler.

Hi. Thanks for the information. Will look into all this.

@ koooowweeee . I can't find a case that will allow me to use the bottom pcie slot on the motherboard. As you can see in the picture, the psu is right below the bottom card.

There will be case around that you will be able to do that.

Or get a fan and place it onto the PSU shroud. Bit ghetto but it should drop the temps a bit.
 
So you have the corsair 570x case?

If so make sure the front 3 fans and the top 2 are blowing in and only the rear is blowing out. Also remove the PCie slot covers to allow the GPU's heat to go out the back. See if that helps
 
Watercool or get a different case, different case would be the cheaper and easier option by far though. Although you will need a different sli bridge so there's that cost to factor in
 
one thing i had pondered was pci-e riser, you can get little ones that raise the slot by 2cm or so, so you instantly gain extra space for the motherboard side of the card to push the hot air out a lot better... but also how to screw the damn card in :D

but the top card basically has a a face full of hot graphics card to draw in air, theres not a lot of ways around that :/
 
Case wont really help as he is restricted by the board. Although a riser cable may help but the Corsair 570 really likes postive air pressure so he should make sure he has that first
