Hotspot

[5ketch]

Hi,

I am currenty running a 3080ti FE with a corsair waterblock XG7 RGB using pre applied thermal paste and pads with 2 radiators cooling the GPU first in the loop. At idle my hotspot 70/71 and under heaven benchmark load it's at 104. From my little knowledge I know this is too high especially for a custom loop watercooled build.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Where is the hotspot measured? Is it on the core or mem chip/vrms?

My GPU temp on highest load is at 58 but hotspot is 104 using heaven. Which means its thermal throttling at idle I'm getting 1665mhz and when load hits it drops to 1350mhz.

Fixed the issue...Corsair are so stupid the put a tiny bit of thermal paste on their water blocks...after draining the loop (massive ball ache) I took off the gpu block and the thermal paste was only overing 1 quarter of the core...1 QUARTER! ...cleaned it all and applied my own paste filled the loop again no more hotspot dropped to 45 ...Corsair need to sort their **** ...thanks for the advice much appreciated
