EVGA 980Ti Hydro copper High temps

Go to solution Solved by LaidBackBA,

Changed the bottom port to the other side on the block and now it sits at 24C idle.

 

Big lesson learned when it comes to watercooling. Thanks for all your help guys!

I just installed a new 980ti hydro copper in my system. And I have been getting really high temps on idle and low load. I tried running smite (the game) to test it out, since it is a low demanding game for the GPU.

 

On idle, the lowest temp i have gotten is 57C and while trying the game it got up to 89 and climbing, when i shut the game down. 

The loop cools both my CPU and GPU, but only the GPU get high temps.

 

My specs are:

CPU: 3930K

MOBO: Asus X79-Deluxe

RAM: 16 GB (8x2) Dominator Platinum 1886 Mhz

PSU. Cooler master V1000

4 Screens (but tried disableing 3 of them, but temps didnt get any lower)

OS: Win 7 64-bit

 

If anyone need more info, let me know.

 

Thanks for all help.

by any chance,

Do you have water running through it?

I thought the loop ran on magic and unicorn farts?!? Am I mistaken??

 

But for real,

Yeah, the loops work just fine ;)

 

I have had the loop in my computer for a little over a year know.

Hmmm sorry to hear that you are getting high temperatures. What radiator capacity do you have in the system? I have 2x 280mm rads cooling my CPU and 2 980Ti Hydro coppers. I idle at around 30-32c (the top card is consistently 1c hotter than the lower) and so far after several different benchmarks, burn in tests and actual gaming I haven't had either card exceed 50c

Alright, just makin sure,

If you didn't, that was 100% the problem, Make sure the block's not gunked up

I am running 2x480 rads with static preassure fans. So i really dont think my loop is the problem.

Something is impeding your flowrate, or the block isn't mounted correctly.

 

Either that or you're trying to cool a CPU & GPU with a TINY radiator.

Yeah, thanks dude :D

 

Have checked to block, cant see anything blocking it. I left the loop leak testing for 11 hours before i started to use it, and the block have filled up nicely.

 

Only thing is that I used the in port and out port on the same side of the block, but didnt think that would be a problem, maybe i am wrong.

Might it be that i used the inport and outport on the block that are on the same side. Like the bottom and top port on the left side.

Any chance of a picture of the loop? In theory if the loop has pressure then in/out on the same side shouldn't be an issue.

I am gonna try takeing out the card tomorrow and disassembling the card to see if there is anything wrong with it.

Bad idea, the way you have your tubes connected to the card, the water just goes past it. Move your bottom tube to the second port on the bottom.

Didnt think it would be an issue, since flowresistance would force coolant through the card anyways, but ill try mixing it up tomorrow.

It does matter, so just change the bottom tube to the other side and  you should see much lower temps.

Just move it to the other one and it should be OK

With 2 480 rads expect around 40-50c once it's set up correctly :P

Lol if that loop was actually working you should be getting basically ambient idles and max of like 40-50C load.

It sounds like that gpu block isn't properly seated or the coolant isn't flowing right, because that is insanely bad temps for even air cooling.
