Is this right ? should i try to rma?

[RNGesusHatesMe]

got a 1080 xtreme water force and im hitting 68c at load 

 

note im running a mini itx if that helps idk if i should try to rma this it seems high for a watercooled gpu any others with this card got any experience?

Is the pump working? Give some more nfo man.

Depends on the OC. 68 Under load at a good OC is good.

Hmm, for a 120mm rad I would say this sounds about right, maybe a little hot but nothing extreme. Can you try setting your fan and pump curve to be more aggressive?

id hope so woulnt it be in the 80s if it wasnt ?

i suppose this would be a option but shouldnt it be lower at the stock fan curve?

68 is good under load. If you are worrying about the GPU being too hot, you shouldn't be.

I'm not too sure, never had a hybrid card before only air and custom watercooled, aswell as having never played around with a 1080, how hot is your ambient and what is your case air flow like?

If the pump isn't working then the idle temp would be very high. It could also be like an air bubble causing this, especially if the loop is a custom loop.

its 22 c atm 

unfortunately corsair lied with their case (380t) u cant fit a radiator at the back so my setup is 

the stock front fan intake

my h55 connected to the cpu at the front behind it with a pull config noctua industralia 120m fan intake

a corsair af 120m red led exhaust at the back 

and on the right the 1080 radiator with fan as exhaust (u cant use as intake as its kept in like that)

shame with this case ucant have 2 120 mm radiators on the right

idle im at 30c  its the default aio that comes with the graphics card idk i might call them and ask as it feels high for a liquid gpu

im worried as a liquid cooled gpu should be cooler shouldnt it ?

That doesn't sound good at all. 68c is what I'd expect from the air cooled version 1080 Xtreme Gaming. If the radiator fan is getting even half decent airflow and isn't somehow sucking in like super super hot air, there's definitely something wrong. I'd contact the manufacturer or wherever you bought the card.

 

Have you tried adjusting the fanspeed? 68c definitely isn't okay or good or acceptable in any way for a water cooled card, even if it has just a 120 rad.

[adams]

its ok

Asked a friend @IRC who owns the card in question. His temps at stock settings were 52c or lower in a room with very high ambient temp.

would it be cause of the form factor ? i dotn think it would be as its using a radiator so shouldnt be that drastic of a issue as its a full water loop cooling vram as well also whats irc (soz for the dumb question)

To find out if it is your form factor the best thing to do would be to remove the radiator from your case and test it, see if your temps raise again. If they do then you know your airflow is atrocious and needing work.

A small case with bad airflow will effect your temps a bit but not by this much. If I were you I'd definitely get in contact with your retailer and Gigabyte both. Those temps aren't dangerous by any means but you're not getting what you paid for. Pascal boosts much more steadily when kept at low temps.

 

IRC = internet relay chat. It's an old chat service.

 

edit: Also, do what KE2012 just said. I don't think that's the case but you should make sure anyway.

[VagabondWraith]

That's way too high. I get MAX 38c with 18c ambient temps with a EVGA Hybrid Kit cooled GTX 1080 overclocked to 2076. There's definitely something wrong with your card.

still high temps gonna rma
