GTX 1080 FE high temps

[helpisallineed]

I have 2x gtx 1080 in sli and they have high temp on idle around 50C in game max temp is 83C. How to lower idle temp? I dont know what to do but this is not normal

Completely normal. You can raise the fan speed using Afterburner or Precicion X though, which will lower your temps.

I did that buy temps wont go below 50C even if fan speed is 100%

[App4that]

50c while under load? That would be fantastic. At idle though check to make sure you are at idle. Especially if you're at 144hz.

 

that said. What types and how many monitors do you have?

[helpisallineed]

I have 2 monitors but currently im on 144hz 1920x1080. My 4k monitor is off atm. But when im in game my temp is 83 max and idle 50 and wont drop below that.

this is normal...

GPUs heat up when being used

turn the fan speed higher to lower the load temps

Set your monitor to 120hz, see if your idle temp drops.

Are you sure you're at idle? What's your GPU usage?

[alphaproject]

The heat is sort of expected in SLI. The reviewers were saying the FE edition ran hot and throttled unless they changed the thermal limit. I guess they can hit higher temps. I think Jay raised it to 92c or something so it wouldn't throttle. On Idle I expected around 44c but not 50c. 50c does seem hot.

GPU usage 1% LOL

[The Benjamins]

they run hot, thats why no one should buy the FE if they are not going to water cool it.

What clockspeeds are they at on idle?

GPU1 core clock: 1607 mhz same got GPU2

Hmmm. Can you disconnect one of your display and drop the other to 60hz and check the clock speeds again.

Im running only 1 monitor atm. I tried changing my refresh rate still nothing.

So it also idles at a high clock speed even at 60hz?

[helpisallineed]

Yep

[App4that]

Your clock speeds are high at idle. Somethings definitely up. Drop down to 60hz. See if that does it.

I did it and leave my monitor on 60 hz for 5 minutes and nothing happens clock speeds wont drop

With all apps minimized?

That's too high of an idle clock speed. Try reinstalling drivers again to see if it works. Using DDU.

I manage to fix it with clean boot my temps are 40C now

If you haven't tried, make sure your card is set to 'Adaptive' power mode instead of 'High Performance' in nVidia control panel. Adaptive allows the GPU to downclock to idle speed when not under load, whereas High Performance keeps it at a constant 1607MHz.
