1080 @ 93°C+

[liquidfracture]

When I run the furmark GPU stress test with my MSI GTX 1080 Aero 8GB OC, the temperature reaches the mid 90s eith the fan at 100%, even with my case open. Is this normal? Looking at the founders edition temps on other forums, they only reach about 85 under the stress test, and the cooler seems similar. 

 

Any help, insight, or anecdotes are appreciated!

i suggest you try to change the thermal paste for the gpu, or send it back to rma. that is not normal.

pretty toasty. Does it improve much if you manually set GPU fan to 100%?

Its a blower style cooler on an OCed card, not abnormal

So it isn't something I should worry about? As long as I cap frame rates? I got the card with the plan to watercool later. Should I replace the thermal paste anyway?

What is the ambient temperature?

Not certain, probably 65 - 70°F.

It would void the warranty so decide if you want to rma it or do that first. Also you could turn down the thermal target in gpu boost. It decrease your performamce by a cpuple percent but that wouldnt matter too much. What are your temps in game btw, cause stress tests often get parts unnaturally hot

When I was playing R6 siege at uncapped framerates it was running similar temps, was thinking of turning on vsync in my games to stop it from running so hot. And it already is set to 83. As far as I understand it, that number means that the GPU won't boost unless the temp is under that target. My GPU wasn't boosting when it was heating that much in the furmark test. It just didn't thermal throttle at all. If there is a way to set it so it will thermal throttle when it reaches a certain temp?

That's way too hot. NVidia's max temp is set to 91c. Your card should throttle clocks and voltage once you hit 83c. Definitely something wrong with your card.

Whelp, MSI support it is then. Thanks everyone!
