high temps 1080 Ti Poseidon high temps

[b3rt1l]

My 1080 ti Poseidon from Asus is running much hotter and louder than it should. I sent it back and they said there was no problem with it. 

In my testing, open air sub-20C ambient it reaches up to the temp limit of 84C while running at 80-90% fan speed (LOUD) 

According to the place where i bought it they got 72C and said you barely heard the card. 

What could cause this? I have tried different PCIe slots and a different PCIe powercable and connector on my Corsair RM850.

My temps and fan speed were monitored using GPU Tweak 2 and HWMonitor. 

I need help ASAP. 

Thanks in advance

 

Edit: Im on air, havent gotten my watercooling stuff yet

 

FIXED: The cards fucking cooler isn't screwed in properly... Putting a little pressure on the cooler towards the pcb drops temps and fan speed dow to the right levels

i heard a few people say the poseiden on air isnt much better than a reference cooler, they might be using it on open air test bench and you might have it in a case which would explain the temp increase

As i said, I ran my testing open air and its almost maxing out its fans

Maybe that's why it comes with preinstalled water block

Then all the reviewers should get the same results as me... But they all get 74C, i cant even get close to that even if I use 100% fan speed

could be your ambient temp

So the card came loose? And you bought it new? As much as I always like that series I don’t see the point of them much. Comprimise being made either way.

So.. i do have 2 of these cards and have the same issue with one of the cards.

If i am not mistaken this is a problem with this card for more than me.

And now for the solution... lay your case on its side and see the temps go down

There is a little problem with the heatsink contact the chips on the card, and just by pushing it up a little bit in the end it will make contact.

 

Both my cards is running cryptomining... but in SLI because i also like to use the machine for gaming.

Primary card (with flaw) is running 75°C @ 100% load. if i remove my wedge between the two card so it "sag's" it jumps right up to 84°C

Secondary card is running at 66°C @ 100% load.

 

Also i am running custom waterloop. Card did not get any colder with water cooling than when it was aircooled. So that was my first clue that something was not right.

I have already been talking to the distributor that will take it back to fix/replace it.
Let me know if this helps or not
