asus 1080 strix oc problem

[Clairu]

Hello there guys i just upgraded few days ago from my gygabite 970 g1  to asus 1080 strix oc version. But i have an problem that is ocuring when playing new games on ultra settings. Example metro exodus on extreme and ultra i can play it for like 10-15min and then the screen frezes and u still hear the sound u can press esc or shoot. I set my rgb lights on the gpu it to show me the temperature color. So the gpu goes red around 80C where it sattles and then when the freeze happens it cools down and goes back to green. I tried Resident Evil 2 also it gives me an error on ultra settings and when i turn vsync on i can play normally. So only if i push my gpu i get the problems. Also i might think is my psu. Its an seasonic 430w bronze (gives 360w on 12v).

spec:
i5 3350p

8gb ddr3 

dont mind the cpu i know its bottlenecking the gpu but i dont think its the problem with it.

Forgot to mention that i did a clean windows install and i have the latest drivers

That GPU shouldn't be reaching 80c, maybe you could try setting a custom fan curve, or figuring out why it is getting so hot (thermal paste dry/bad case airflow).

Well i still have warranty on it so i will loose it if i open the gpu. i can try with an aggresive fan curve one and see the results

you must have terrible air flow or system insatbility

[Clairu]

i get now 75C and i will open my case and test it now. Also i didnt crash

[Clairu]

ok update with the same fan curve i get 75C max with case closed and 65C max with case opened. Game didnt crash

Well there you go. My strix was a hot card. Got rid of it for fe’s and sc’s.

I wanted to get me an gigabite g1 one but this one has warranty. So instead of psu i should update my case lmao... also its not clocked and runs on ~1962mhz ;o

[Mick Naughty]

All that heat holding it back. 

Stock reference board. The card in my other system hits 2000 stock. 

[Clairu]

damn that looks awesome. But here is hard to find EVGA cards. The only fan on my case is the one back near my cpu so i should just get me more i guess

[Clairu]

Also using vysnc is a helper to and gets down temperature a lot 

 

[Mick Naughty]

Lol, I’d imagine. Lowering gpu usage and load does do that. 

[Clairu]

I ordered  3 fans. They are like 1200rpm, my case is this like on the pic. Should i put them like that on 1 and 2?

[Mick Naughty]

1,3,5

[Clairu]

i already have one on 3

[Mick Naughty]

Well another spot obviously. Depends on the cpu cooler. Which I assume is stock or a tower. 

 

Test and see which would help the most.

I bought me a new psu and added the 3 fans on 1 and 2 and i got 15C degrees less temps. So problem was bad airflow and lack of fans
