NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti Founders Edition 11GB GDDR6

[DaveCad919]

Hello. I have the following GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti Founders Edition 11GB GDDR6

 

Are my temps normal? I am playing on a 1440P/165hz monitor and I am getting temps of 80-85c. The GPU hot spot reaching up to 96-97c. I swapped the thermal pads and thermal paste, before I was getting temps of 85-90c & 107c hot spot.

Sounds about right. Temps are heavily influenced by several things, namely the case you have it installed in and the airflow its getting.

The case is Kolink Observatory RGB

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 @4.2GHz, 1.1625V - 40-45c while playing.

What case do you have and what is the airflow config. This will have a significant impact on the temperature of the components inside of it. That being said, seeing a 5C difference after repasting is pretty normal. If you use a high-performance thermal paste you could possible see even greater difference in the before and after temps. The temperatures overall look fine.

Looking at this, you're temps are in line then since you're feeding heated air to the GPU already with the Radiator as intake. Since you're using a Push/Pull config and nothing up top, I would recommend moving the radiator to a top mount as exhaust and leave the front as 100% pure fresh intake only. 

 

Also, your front fans are basically getting zero fresh air overall since the push fans are outside the frame and are blocking the mesh side intake. 

 

edit: So overall, you need to move the AIO to top mount as exhaust and move your intake fans to inside the chassis to open up your side intake ventilation holes to get semi proper airflow into your case.

Thanks for the quick answers. Any case suggestions if I was to get a new one? This case seems to be more for budget builds and doesn't have the greatest quality.

For budget cases, the Phanteks P300A or P400A, Fractal Design Meshify C are great choices. I have my wifes machine in a P300A and love it.

The 2080 tis were a bit toasty.

 

My first one was an EVGA XC. It was always in the low 80s.

I bought 2 more 2080 ti but I went super sized with EVGA FTW3 Ultras. $300 more than the XC but not many more frames. I ran them overclocked 24/7 to justify the extra cost.

 

Best to fix your cooling now since 3080 tis produce as much heat stock as the 2080 ti do overclocked.

The 2 cases that work for me are the Cooler Master H500 ARGB for my air cooled and Cooler Master H500M for water cooled. 

 

I am on the fence with my Corsair 5000D since it seems to work with my FTW3 Ultra 2080 ti but is a bit hot with a MSI Gaming X Trio 3080 ti.

I just bought a Lian Li O11 Dynamic to replace the 5000D since I can get fans below the GPU and get rid of the hot air that accumulates below the GPU when benching.

 

Also try this: I dropper 7c on the 5000D setup by doing it.

I liquid metaled my old 980ti and dropped 14c so not surprised at 5c with paste

Steve of GN would throw a fit seeing the rad being mount vertically up front, it should be at top venting warm air from within, not contributing to warm air within. I have a pretty hot card in the RX 690)XT, with a CM H500M case, my GPU hits about 75C edge temp with hotspot temp at 86C max (after playing about an hour of RE Village with RT enabled), ambient temp in room is about 23C.

Moved the AIO to the roof. GPU is now running a couple degrees colder, thanks all for the tips. Much appreciated!

Those are very high temps.

It's VERY likely that you you used incorrect thermal pad thickness or you used pads that are too stiff (hard).

You should use Gelid Extreme pads as they compress the most.  Then after that, Laird 90000. ( https://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/tflex-hd90000-series/71539 )

But Gelid Extreme pads are the best.

 

You could either have bad gpu core contact pressure on the die OR overheating VRM's, causing gpu/hotspot temps being that high.

The warranty for my 2080 Ti has expired, so I decided to put it for sale online and an hour later it sold for 800€. I just managed to pick up a PowerColor Radeon RX 6700 XT for 500€, same price as it was sold for on the release day. Warranty left 1,5 years.. This card is running pretty hot too though, but apparently these cards can handle the heat better? GPU temp is sitting at around 72-77c when playing Fortnite 1440p 165hz and hot spot at around 86-95c.

 

Gotta say I'm pretty pleased with the performance of this card so far and it's also quieter than the FE 2080 Ti.
