2080ti OVERHEATING

[Gitesh1909]

I have ROG Matrix GeForce RTX^™ 2080 Ti P11G Graphics card for over a year, from last 6 months i am facing overheating issues on this card. followings are the problems i am facing

• Overheating while Windows Startup(>60c degrees)
• graphic card using psu power around 270 watts while startup
• Idle temperature never goes down below 45c 
• Low End games using high memory clock and gpu clock. for e.g Pubg lite using (1920MHz GPU clock , 14800Mhz Memory Clock, Gpu Temperature is  > 90c degree
• Gpu crashes while playing games, even in 720p displays
• While playing Games Temperature increases even in  10% gpu usage 

I tried Following things to lower down Gpu temperature

• Thermal Paste changed
• Removed Dust from fans
• Clean PC case 
• Checked for VBIOS update
• Connected my GPU in Friends PC

My PC Specs :

Asus Maximus XI Formula Motherboard

Intel i9 9900k 3.6 GHz

64GB DDR4 Ram

Samsung evo 970 NVme SSD

ROG Matrix GeForce RTX^™ 2080 Ti P11G

Asus Rog Ryujin AIO Cooler

Asus Platinum 1200W Power Supply

Using Lower End Display for testing Lg 720p display  60Hz

are your fans dying?

No, Fans work properly, i can even manually control their speed through software

Well the Matrix has that weird "liquid cooling" setup. Something could be up with that.

Or what's more likely, is that you need to re-apply thermal paste.

yes, i changed the thermal paste, currently using Noctua NT-H1 on both CPU and GPU. Not sure about That "Weird Liquid coooling".

Did the problems start right after you applied the thermal paste? GPUs usually require quite a bit more thermal paste than CPUs. It could be that you used too little.

 

This is what the 2080Ti Matrix looks inside.

It's one weird watercooling setup, with a radiator, but I don't think it has a pump.

No , i changed thermal paste today. i thought it may solve the Overheating issue. but it didn't. i am having this issue for about 6 months now. i tried everything.

 

yes , it has pump,  when i was applying thermal paste today, i saw blue gum/liquid (it was stuck) like material on the copper heatsink, is it copper corrosion or liquid spilled from the pump?  i am  confused.

It could certainly be liquid.

It's often colored, but without a picture I wouldn't be able to tell.

i just turn off my PC , and took this picture. Have a look at it! it is dried. on the edge of the heatsink

That looks like a leak.

It is likely that the loop is partially filled with air.

 

I hope you can still get that thing RMAd by ASUS, because I would not run this any longer inside your system.

In a worst case scenario it would leak even more and damage other components within your system.

 

If you can't RMA it, try to get a seperate air cooler or water cooler for it.

I think i cannot RMA it, because the card is out of warranty, although i will try it. and what if i changed the liquid from the loop and try to fix the loop leak? what kind of liquid it needs, distilled water? any suggestions. or is it better to use new custom liquid/air cooling for the gpu.? 

or can i purchase any AIO from the market  will it work like on the CPU i used Asus Rog Ryujin AIO? which is the best solution

My ASUS Zenwatch was out of warranty aswell when the display cracked and yet they fixed it free of charge. So there is a good chance that they can help you out.

 

Distilled water would be fine, but flushing it out and adding an anti-microbial mix would be better.

I would not recommend that tho, because it is likely to leak again, even if you think you fixed it.

These loops aren't designed to be taken apart and filled again.

 

It would be best to find a new cooler that fits that PCB.

The NZXT Kraken G12 for example only fits 2080Ti reference designs.

 

Your best bet is to hope that ASUS can help you.

Thanks a lot for Your help!  i would try to take help from ASUS. but here in India, Asus service sucks. i will prefer NZXT Kraken G12 or similar AIO. Once again Thank You!

Just keep in mind that it might not fit.
Good luck!

yes, i will do more research on GPU's PCB bracket size, and everything.
