1080Ti GPU Temperature advice? High or it's normal? Afterburner settings?

[76561198403006283]

This is my {LINK REMOVED} GFX settings I do have an aggressive fan profile but I did not O/C and dare not too mess around but instead only increase the fan speed. I'm stupid to purchased that damn GPU last year lol. Anyway, cause the reason is this particular {LINK REMOVED} GPU model they call it the "Blower style" or something kinda limits me to O/C much I guess?

Yeah, I noticed my temp hit up to 70-77°C of my in-game settings (just a little worried). There is absolutely no way due to that particular model that simply limits me to put on any aftermarket cooling stuff and just have to cool it by increasing the fan speed.

The max fan speed I've set is only to 80%(I don't know how high I can go is safe) so yeah I'm not sure how I can further lower the temperature, I also did off Nvidia Gameworks such as the Smoke/Fog and Rain, Shadow down to Normal and probably that is as far as I will go in terms of lowering them settings and yet it just hovering around 72-74°C or so.

Well, hopefully, I don't really wanna be advice to further lowering this and that, I kinda like the quality :P Would love to hear some inputs/ideas though! Thanks in advance all.

if you had bothered to do any real research then you would know that even the reference blower 1080ti runs at 83 to 84 under load. the blower that you have is probably a little worse so of course you are going to run in the mid to upper 70s under full load even with the fan running well above stock settings. you can run that gpu in the low 80s all you want and it's not going to impact it's usable life one single bit as it was designed for that.

Anything up to like 90 degrees is completely safe for modern gpus. Obviously you should try to keep the temps under that (somewhere below 80 degrees preferably). Im pretty sure a 1080ti can max this game completely with 0 problems so you shouldn't really bother with turning down the settings, just up your fan speeds... if the sound wont deafen you.

I have a 1080ti, but I installed MSI Afterburner and adjusted the fan profile so my temps stay pretty much under 60C at all times even under load. The default fan profile runs too hot, the 980ti had the same issue.

well too bbe honest the refence cards dontt run as cool as tthe 3rd party ones sso its about norrmall

[Stormspark]

Yeah I should add that mine is not a reference one, it's the EVGA SC version with the custom cooler.

reference coolers are mediocre for cooling

" my temp hit up to 70-77°C"

This is perfectly normal. Most modern GPU's can happily run as hot as or even hotter than 90-100C.

Your hardware is designed to protect itself. If it gets too hot, it'll spin the fan faster, or shutdown.

Try enabling vsync to reduce the demands on the GPU. That should both reduce GPU usage, and temp.

Stock/reference coolers are fine. if they thought a bigger cooler was needed then the Engineers would have designed it that way in the first place.

try having a reference cooled gpu in a tropical country like mine where ambient room temperatures reaches 35-40c. Good luck

Well then, the answser is simple.

You should move. :D

You clearly have Internet, i'm sure you have air conditioners too.

Either way, high ambient temps aren't necessarily going to cause a component to overheat. the GPU's fan will just spin faster if it needs to keep it below it's upper thresholds. So my statement stands as is.

Thanks all. Yeah, I reside in Singapore the weather here is unforgiving every year of the moment I was born. In the afternoon when I play any intensive GPU games the temp can go up to well 70-77°C as I stated but come evening it is on the mid 66 to 70°C~ never above 75°C that's fine by me. Does anyone who has the 1080Ti reference card/Blower GPU, that can share your fan profile? I just like to compare perhaps then do some changes.
@Saerydoth mine hangs around 30-40°C idling.

I'm using an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0, so my profile is aggressive, but not terribly so because it doesn't really need to be. With this profile and my ambients of around 70F/21C, my card idles at 29C and peaks at 65C under heavy load (UniEngine Superposition Benchmark)

You're welcome to try it: https://imgur.com/a/eR1YL

Don't be afraid to let your cooler ramp up to 100% if that's what it takes to keep the GPU cool. That's what it's there for. Especially with a blower-type cooler, this just means you're getting more negative pressure/exhaust in the case and more cool fresh air coming in your intakes. Make sure you've got good clearance at the back of the case so the card isn't wallowing in it's own waste heat is really the best thing you can do. Don't put a PC with a blower GPU up against a wall or crammed into a credenza-style desk. Perhaps add a house/box fan that blows that hot air away from the back of the case if you're really concerned. Keep it at least a few feet away from the PC of course. Giant magnets and HDDs aren't good close together.

On the other hand, I pretty much agree with trek and Buck here too. They're completely right. These GPUs are okay to run hot, because they won't allow you to run them into unsafe ranges. At 83C/84C or less they will run full bore at their boost clock. 84C+ to 104C they will run at their standard clock in an attempt to get back below the target temp so they can boost again. At 105C+ they will throttle the clock so aggressively that they perform like a GT 720 to try and cool off. The lead-free solder used in these is good for temps up to the 115-125C range, the effective danger zone, which the cards will simply not allow themselves to reach anyway so there's really nothing to worry about. To get them that hot and melt the solder you would need an external heat source; like putting the GPU inside an oven.

That is very informative for me for a Blower style GPU now. Thank you for that! Oh, on a side note, I wonder would it be wise to do to a little O/Cing? I have done it before and was stable and before I O/C i do read that it may/will decrease the GPU lifespan. Or just leave it alone?

Maybe someday hopefully, but life is never that easy.

You can try OC, but many games don't like overclocked CPU/GPU...
it's true that overclocking MAY cause a decrease in it's lifespan, but that really depends on how high you OC and how much you use it....OC just makes the GPU run hotter....just keep an eye on the temp (like with MSI afterburner)...one thing about the 10 series GPU....they use Pascal...which runs cooler and uses less power.
