I just got this card a week ago, i've setup the GPU fans to 100% in MSI Afterburner, but i'm still getting 105C hotspot temp while the GPU core gets around only 80C under load. My PC has shut down a couple of times and i believe it's because of this. This is newly built system with a fresh install of Windows, here is the link to the specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Cottontails/saved/LL7yxr Has anyone else experienced this issue and what is your advice? I'm thinking about re-pasting it as well as replace the thermal pads to see if that helps, but i feel this is not how the card is supposed to be brand new out of the box.

What video player are you using on macOS as an alternative to PotPlayer?

The problem with that is that i'm using dual monitors, one for the Mac and one for the PC. I think this is what i'm looking for, thank you very much.

I need to make a correction: the cable is actually two male to one female, the male ends plug into the mac and the pc and the female end plugs into the speakers. My speakers work just fine plugged into the Mac alone as well as the PC alone. But simultaneously it is only the PC that ends up with the low volume swapping the connection doesn't change anything. The audio cable is plugged in on the green port on the back of my motherboard which is the Asus ROG Maximus XI Gene.

I bought a splitter audio cable (two female to one male) to use my speakers on both my Mac Mini and my PC, but while the Mac Mini audio has normal volume levels, on my PC the volume completely maxed sounds very quiet. This my first time attempting something like this so i don't know if i'm approaching it wrong. The goal is to use a single set of speakers simultaneously on both the PC and Mac without having to buy a switch or a second set of speakers, any help is appreciated.

I forgot to update this thread with what the culprit was and it was bad Windows updates, none of my hardware was the problem.

Currently i have 8 Noctua NF12 fans on a PWM hub and set up in Fan Expert 4 to go by CPU temp, but ever since i upgraded to a higher resolution my GPU temps go up to 80C while my CPU is sitting at 40C, is there an option in the bios or any kind of software that would go off both GPU and CPU temps? Edit: going to give Argus Monitor a try Update: Argus works amazingly and solved my problem, a mod can delete this

When you say have the radiator fans as intake and the case fans as exhaust, should the radiator fans be in front of the radiators or behind or does it even matter?

Interesting i will try that out.

The Kraken G12 paired with the Corsair H80i is cooling my Strix OC 1080ti, though i underclocked the card and it sometimes goes into the upper 80's in Borderlands 3, so i'm trying to figure out what is causing such high temps in the card. My cpu is the 9700k which is also underclocked and delidded with liquid metal and a pure copper ihs and temps are high 70's as well.

No the 240 rad is exhaust, the 120 rad is intake and the two fans at the top are also intake.

So have the rear radiator fan as intake to, are you sure? The rear radiator is to the Kraken G12 mod on my gpu and my gpu temps get way hotter than the cpu, is it okay to be pulling in the gpu heat to the inside of the case and that technically is blowing hot air through the cpu aio as well?

I want to change my airflow configuration in my micro-atx case and i was thinking of changing it to where i have a 240mm cpu aio mounted at the top with the fans as exhaust and have my other 120mm gpu aio mounted at the rear of the case and the fan also set as exhaust and then the two fans in the front are set as intake is that a good configuration with 2 fans intake and 3 radiator fans as exhaust or should i change it? I figure it would be bad to have the radiator fans set as intake because it would take the hot air from the radiators and pull it inside the case, i'm no expert though! My current setup is with my 240mm aio set to the front of the case with the fans as exhaust and the 120mm is still at the rear of the case but as intake and the two fans at the top are also intake and i experience really high temps.

Oh i see what you mean, i will check the settings. Edit: Seems the voltage was the issue the whole time. I followed a YouTube guide to overclock it about 2 years ago and never messed with it, since in almost every game i got decent temps. I turned the voltage all the way down in GPU Tweak II and still managed a decent overclock and RDR2 has barely gone passed 70C after 20 minutes of gameplay. I feel like an idiot, thanks for your help

What are you talking about? Asus GPU Tweak II displays both GPU usage and temps and it does show 90C in RDR2 and the usage is at around 40%. I was saying i'm not having temp issues in any other games except for RDR2.

I'm almost positive it's fine, temps are fine in every other game i own, Destiny 2 doesn't often break 50C and Jedi Fallen Order gets around maybe 74C after playing for an hour. I feel like it's something with RDR2 specifically cause it gets to 90C in 5 minutes no matter the graphics settings i have.

I do have the radiator fan set to CPU controlled all four fans are setup through Fan Xpert 4 with custom fan curve, but the 92mm fan the Kraken G12 came with i replaced with a Nocuta one and i have a custom fan curve set to 100% through GPU Tweak II since it's not that loud to me, but it could be the radiator fan is the culprit this is how i have it setup currently (arrows indicate airflow direction):

So i have the Asus Strix 1080ti OC with the Kraken G12 mod and the H80i v2, previously i had the pump and fan running off the GPU fan connectors, but i was worried that the pump would not run at full speed, so i plugged it in to the CPU_OPT header and used iCUE instead and set the pump to extreme and it now says the pump is running at 2800rpm give or take. When i launch RDR2 i noticed my PC felt a bit toasty and it says my GPU is running at 90C. I don't what's wrong the other games i own don't go past 70C like ever. I tried plugging the pump back into the GPU fan header and reducing the graphics settings in RDR2 but it still runs at 90C after about 5min. Anybody know what's wrong?

Yeah i was actually going off your recommendations ?. So those amps will work with my Behringer MicroMON MA400?
