RTX 2080 Ti FE High Temp

[Chrislds]

Hi guys I need some advice/help with my current new build. I recently just build this new rig and at the start I didn't realize anything wrong with it till recently when I compare my performance with others with same specs on youtube. I realize that my GPU is running super hot. I mainly play Battlefield V right now to test out this rig and after few minutes of gaming my GPU temp goes up to 84 C and at some extreme cases goes to 86 C, also the clock speed decrease from 1950mhz to 1600-1800mhz. I know i only drop like 20/30 frames at certain situation but it got me worried. Is there a way I can make my system cooler? or Is there something wrong with this rig? 

 

My specs:

NZXT H200i Case

NZXT X52 Kraken cooler

Asus Z390-I Itx motherboard

i7 8700K @4.7ghz

16gb G-Skill Trident Z 

RTX 2080 Ti Founder's edition

EVGA Supernova 750 G3

What is your airflow like?

 

A 2080ti fe shouldnt be overheating except if there isnt enough airflow or the card/cooler is damaged

What do you mean by that? I tried to minimize cables in the front for airflow but its a small case and the GPU is seated close to the surface of the case.

As I wrote before a 2080ti fe is temp targeted to 82C (i think) and over that it thermal throttles and the clockspeed decreases, but the founders edition should overheat in any way. The only way it does are restrictions in airflow or a damaged cooler

I think you answered your own question.

Since its not a blower style cooler, I tried opening my side panel for my gpu to breath but i dont see any significant changes the temp goes from 84c down to somewhere around 81-82c I dont know what the problem is. I check for simillar setups on youtube and their temps are pretty balanced.

Will there be any other downside to this tho? other then the fact its hot and a slight thermal throttle? will it effect other component or should i get a new case instead?

New case is the easiest option. Look into possibly selling your h200i to get some of your money back.

What orientation is the card, are you using a vertical bracket or is it just near the PSU shroud?

Before looking at changing case, maybe try and create a bit more room around the card, or maybe having a look at your case fan arrangement.

The card is seated normally and near the psu shroud. What options do i have on creating more room? also what kind of arrangements?

Is it possible to move the card up to give the fans more room? The F.E. card isn't the thickest RTX available, but I don't know much about the H200i.

When I talk about case fans, I mean maybe adding more, or changing the exsisting ones from intake to exhaust, etc. Does the case have top vents?

There is literally no more room for the card to be moved up in the case as it is already packed. I dont know if i can add more fans there are no more slots available and Yes the case does have a top vent. just one. Should I just run the gpu fan at max 100%? is there a downside to that? i mean i dont mind the noise im playing with headset anyway.

Try to find a better long term solution first I'd say. Is your AIO radiator at the front or top? I'd take a look at the airflow through your case, add fans if you can, and maybe combine it with a manual fan curve instead of permanently ramping your fans to max.

My AIO is installed at front of the case thats the only 2 intake fans, and 2 exhaust fans 1 at the back and 1 on top. thats it.

[Ross Siggers]

@Chrislds Maybe add more speed to the fan curves on the case as well as the GPU? I can't believe the case is that bad at cooling, so my guess is that it's defaulting to cool 'n quiet fans or something.

I was going to suggest having the front as regular intake and the AIO in the top, but I just realised that the H200i only has a single fan slot in the ceiling
