Hi all, i have a RX580 in a small case and when gaming the GPU throttles at 80c.
i was thinking of liquid metaling the GPU, and anyone done this and did it help with temps?
Yes it helps and I have done it numerous times. My last is the Vega 64 Nitro both with stock heating and under water. (before that GTX1080 & GTX1080ti)
What baffles me are your temps. What case do you have, and how many fans blowing cold air into it?
Sorry but you have no airflow in there in this case.the case is a Silverstone milo ml08, its very compact. i can use afterburner to up the fan profile to keep the temps down but then the noise starts to bug me
can you not possibly look at changing fans out to something a bit quieter or with better flow?
I've had a 4670k and a 280x rammed in a Evga Hadron and it runs cooler than my full size desktop
I doubt it would help much if at all. The air have nowhere to exit the case so the card suffocates. When will people learn that for cases like that only blower style coolers make sense.
Well I got an overclocked 1080 FE in a node202 (which is even smaller) that runs at about 70c it is undervolted tho.Tbh these are for low power cards that do not need extra power cables than the PCIe providing, not 200W ones.

No room to say fit one of those custom coolers on it? Like one of the Accelero’s?
Liquid metal will make some difference. But on blowers it tends to be minimal just because the cooler tends to saturate and struggle to get rid of the heat vs struggling to transfer the heat via thermal paste.
Are there any blower style RX 580s..? Don't think so.
