The Pascal GTX 1080 Owners Thread

What tools are people using for over clocking, still After Burner?

Yup, with Rivatuner for the overlay.

Thanks.

Is it normal for these 1080GTX cards to reach 98C under load in MSI Kombustor in roughly 4 seconds with ice cold water flowing over the core with a freshly acid cleaned shiny VGA block?
Got the same results twice after rebuilding with EVGA paste and then AS5. Way too hot to risk using it. I've never seen temps above 60C on a GPU before.

No! I wouldn't turn it back on to be honest. That sounds like terrible contact, almost like no contact at all. Is it a universal block?

Hmmm no. My EVGA GTX1080 FTW only sees 70c during heaven. 98c is way too hot. Either replace TiM or RMA card.

My GTX 1080 is hitting 38c under load. This is watercooled though.

I've been using EVGA Precision XOC for my overclock.

No not at all. Sounds to me like it's not even touching the block. Both my cards rarely go over 40c at this time of year.

Ensure it's actually making contact and is a fully compatible block.

May as well get on the rollcall

Nice one, I hope you have fun with your new card

. What resolution are you going to be mainly gaming at?.

I got it for VR but on desktop its 3440x1440 on a 34" LG.

I've re-seated it 3 times.

Most of the Kombustor GPU tests crash.
Lakes of Titan caused a loud whine sound reaching 33C before crashing.
1M particles crashes at 41C after 3 seconds.

Interested to know what card you have switched from and how the VR performance looks.

Ah nice one. The reason I asked was your CPU but at that resolution you're a lot better off than 1080p.

Was running an AMD R9 290, never tried the Rift with the 290 so no idea how it compares.

I guess its not a CPU that would normally be paired with a 1080 for VR, I have been looking building a dedicated VR rig based on a new Intel chip but not decided which one to go for yet.

True but it is more of a problem below 2560x1440, at your resolution the GPU is taking the majority of the load. It'll tide you over easily I'd imagine so probably best to wait for Ryzen to be released before upgrading as you will have more to choose from and if the AMD CPU is a performer, it may also reduce the outlay for both Intel and AMD.

Good advice thanks, I have been keeping an eye on the Ryzen thread but do we have any idea on release dates or product line up?

This is crashing at stock? is it a full block your using?

Possibly a faulty card unless its still crashing because of high temps?
