does anyone know (who has) a 1080 what my temps should be at idle mine are sitting at about 90 degrees but i dont know what they should be

90C? At idle? Something is defiantly wrong there.

Idle should be around 30-50C

[You_are_a_cunt]

90deg at idle is definitely not good.

[Suika]

Idle? It should be low 30C or 90F.

I'm pretty sure he means fahrenheit.

If thermal paste is somehow gone it could be 90C.

That would be high for a 980ti at full load. You need to replace your thermal paste, check air flow on your case, and make sure your GPU fans are spinning.

I don't understand how a new video card would be missing thermal compound. I'd rather wait for the OP to clarify what measurement he means because the system would be shutting down under load.

I know, that's also why I said "90C?"
Asking if it was in Celsius.

Well I mean, if he's not complaining that his video card is shutting down under any sort of load and has "90 degrees" at idle, I can't assume he means celsius.

Yeah, I was just clarifying. Because for all we know he could have gotten a 1080 used and the previous owner could have for whatever reason wiped most of the thermal paste off, or something like that.

To clarify I did mean Fahrenheit. The system is not shutting down but when i load it to about 90-100% it gets to about 175 F

175F load temps is a bit high (175F = 79c) but not a concern...anything bellow 80-82c is alright...anything bellow 75c is good...what version of the 1080 do you have? Founders edition? my gigabyte windforce card run at 71c max under full load.

Yeah i got the founders edition

it's normal then, those cards run pretty hot...80c is a normal temp for this.

Do you have any ideas on cooling to get a little better temps. Unfortunately another fan would not work with my case (radiator on top of case, one exhaust fan and 3 intake fans

hummm...other than taking off that atrocity of a cooler and replacing it with a water cooler/braket or a full loop with an EK waterblock...not much you can do about it unfortunately...blower cards by design run hot and loud that's why i always recommend against buying them.

Before you invest into a different cooling solution (Actic Cooling Twin Turbo 3 for example is a great one, or the triple fan Accelero. Might be slight overkill for a mere 180w Chip tho), try Undervolting.

 

A Founders edition runs too hot because it reaches temperature Limit of 83°C, and it throttles down, to not exceed this --> Clock speed drop to 1608-1670 Mhz or so, and Voltage also to reduce heat -> Because the founders cooler is simply too weak for a GTX 1080.

 

What you can do are 2 ways. The first one is garbage tho, but would work.

 

1. Fans at 100%. Why it's garbage? Well it's loud..

 

2. Undervolting.Reduce Voltage will GREATLY impact the heat. Less heat = no throttling = quieter fans.

For example, stock is 1.05 volt, but that heats the card up, and it throttles to <1650 Mhz~.

If you use the Curve editor from MSI Afterburner, you can go down to up to 0.8 Volt (A GTX 1080 should do about 1750-1830 Mhz with 0.8 Volt. My GTX 1080 MSI Gaming X holds 1823 Mhz stable with 0.8 Volt. Others only 1776 Mhz). Resulting so much less heat, that it doesn't throttle anymore, and it's able to have less heat, less powerconsumption, lower noise, and at the same time (due to no Throttling) higher clock speeds -> More performance.

Check here: https://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=574892

But it's german.

He got his GTX 1080 to 0.8 Volt and 1759 Mhz, which is higher than the Clock a Founders throttles to). Power consumption drops from 180 watt to 136 Watt~

 

Little how-to:

1. MSI Afterburner download + install

2. CTRL + F to open the Voltage/Frequency curve editor

3. Take the first point, the 800 mv one, and drag it to like 1760 Mhz.

4. ALL other dots (RIGHT side from the one you want to have) to BELOW 1760.

5. Once you hit apply, all dots right from your dot will jump to a horizontal line, preventing the card to go any higher than 0.8 Volt (because there is no other dot, that has a higher frequency)

6. Undervolting to 0.8v complete. Check if it's stable or not. If yes, you could try a few steps more Clock, or be happy.

7. Usually, most GTX 1080 will be able to hold +500 Mhz on Memory clock easy peasy. And that gives you more, than Clock speed.

 

 

 

If you want to use a higher voltage with higher clock speed (for example, 0.9 Volt or 0.95 Volt with 1900-2000 Mhz~) you need to drag the curve differently.

 

........

3. Take the Voltage / Clock dot you want to reach. For example, you want to achieve a 0.95 Volt undervolt. click on the dot while holding SHIFT. Drag the dot up to the core clock you want to have with 0.95 Volt, for example, 2000 Mhz. Holding SHIFT down, will move the whole curve, like a mere Offset. You want to have smooth steps before that, and not a huge jump for the last step (you will get better Performance with this.. Read the Thread i linked with a translation, it gets explained there).

4. Then, drag all points RIGHT from 950 mV down, one by one. So in the End, you have the Curve going normal up to 950 mV, and it's horizontal line after that --> 950 mV is the highest dot --> chip will NOT go above that.

5. Of course, test if it's stable, and repead with other settings, if it's not. Like lower clock speed. 1985, 1970, etc

 

 

Since you have a Founders, i personally would go for 0.8 Volt (lowest voltage = lowest heat), take that to 1800 Mhz (try if it works, if not, use a slightly lower core clock), with a +500 Mhz on Memory clock.

 

That should lower temperature and noise by alot, and you will still have a higher performance than any Stock Founder's Edition.

Maybe that already is enough for you, and you don't have to spend anything.

My cards idle at 35 and 30. Second card turns it's fan off. If a bunch of stuff or running top card sits around 45c. 

 

I have founders and the top card sits at 66 and the bottom at 71c. 

In games. A little higher in heaven. 

Fans are quite as hell, don't know what's people are doing with their rigs. All my case fans were at their slowest, 40% being noctua.
