EVGA 1080 SC Temps

[SHADY16]

ok so i just recently added the EVGA CLC 120 to my pc for my cpu and while it lowered my cpu temps, my gpu temps went up from 67c-74c and im am unsure why that would cause that as that was the only change i made to my system

How/where did you mount the cooler? Did you replace case fans with that radiator?

 

Can you take a picture of the inside of your case?

yeah just the back one, currently have 3 front intake one top exhaust and then the raditor on on the back

Sorry could you do a pic with side off. Also do temps drop with side panel off?

and no temps dont change much with side off

4 intake and 2 exhaust then, (the one on the base intake also)

 

The only thing I can think of is not enough exhaust or the radiator for the CPU is hot as and it's dumping some heat onto the GPU. Maybe try the GPU in a different slot

 

Also, dude those cables, take some time and route them, they can really hurt airflow in your case

nope cable management really doesnot restrict much airflow  unless there is a fluffy treddy bear shoved into your cas(but you should still tidy it up ffs) but radiator placement does have dramatic impact on case air flow and internal temp

I'm pretty sure all those cables bunched up over that base 120mm fan are hurting that flow onto the GPU

[SHADY16]

i have literally all the fans i can place into my case that it allows and mind you those cables were like that before so thats not it only thing i could possibly do besides getting a new case is changing the 120mm fan up top to a 140mm. theres 2 front intake and one bottom and 1 top exhaust and the radiator is exhaust. i cant put it in front as intake

[SHADY16]

Anyone have any idea on why my GPU temps increased?

Can't get all the air out fast enough most likely. Rads hurt airflow. Is every fan on max?

yeah all fans are at max, as i said best i could do with my current case would be to change out the top 120mm exhaust fan with a 140mm

That or put a blower on it.

blower? you mean replace the cooler on my gpu?

[Mick Naughty]

Could also try flipping the psu.

Yes. As they are better for stuff like this.

the fan for my psu is already upside down and it's one of those that the fan only spins up if the psu gets warm

As in flip it so it extracts air.

ah i see, even if i did that would it even make a noticable difference? because after 60c my gpus fans are at 100% and it still gets to 74c. my cpu only gets to about 63c

If you gpu keeps dumping hot air into the case and you can't get the hot air out ans fresh air in, it won't make a difference. I've never hand temps that high in any rig if ever built. Even with open air coolers.

ah, not sure if flipping my PSU would help a whole lot, its the Corsair RM750 which fans dont spin up unless it gets hot, also wouldnt that put more stress on the PSU as well?

Don't see how that would stress a psu. That psu should be seeing 60% load in most recent games. So the fan should be on during long sessions anyway.

hmm according to this it doesnt even effect the temps at all, if that is the case ive reached the limit of my case cooling.. sigh

[Mick Naughty]

If another fan won't effect temps then changing a case won't do it either.

so then it could be just my gpu running hot? i mean even before this change it topped out at 67-71c at max fan that was before i had a radiator too
