1080 overclocking question

[AkiraTorytomi]

 

so i have oc'd my 1080 to 2100 mhz boost and 5508 mem but it sits at 80-83c, my question is since i only gain 9-10 fps avg for about 8-10C higher temps over stock would it actually be worth running it at 80-83c OC'D vs 70-73c stock for long term gaming use?  i have the EVGA 1080 FE

I'd recommend changing the fan curve to be more aggressive in your OC software.

thats with fans at 100%. i have it set to go to 100% at 60c and it will still climb to 80-83c depending on how hot it is here and i use the same fan curve on stock too

Wow. Ok so I would tune down the overclock because of the noise and I would want to preserve my GPU to last (especially if it's a 1080, you are getting great performance already)

The cooler sucks since it is a blower. It's not going to get better. 

 

Better off getting a waterblock for the card to keep it cool. Cut the load temp in half.

thats the thing i have to have it at 100% to even keep it at 70-73c at stock any lower and it climbs to around 80c even stock clocks

Well if you are happy with performance at stock, have it at stock.

Depends on that 10 fps difference ... if you usually have 50 fps, and OCed gives you 60, I would OC it for sake of vsync.

But if you get 100fps with OC, just leave it at stock. 90 fps is still plenty
