ASUS Strix 2080 TI - Overheating?

[MASTER890]

Hey all, quick question.

SO I have a ASUS Strix 2080 TI, brand new. Along with a Core I7 9900k

The temps on this card seems to be at 80 - 85 celcius when playing games like GTA 5 and such.
But playing Final Fantasy, which isnt very graphic intensive (only 17% of VRAM) it's still hovering around 80 degrees.

Idle temp is steady 42. Any thoughts? Is this a RMA?

Thanks!

Make sure all the fans on the graphic card are actually working while it's under load. Also what model GPU is it and what case are you using for your PC,

What's the room temp?

But overall what's the problem?
As its not overheating

ASUS strix 2080 TI 011G
I bought the system from IbuyPower. It's a smaller case but it's still a mid. Very open. All GPU fans are running well. At 80 degrees, the fans are at about 75 percent.
Rooms temp is nice and cool, around 70. When I open the case, I can get it to drop around 78.

I just thought 80-85 is really hot for games that aren't even that intensive. GTA 5 will get up to 85 and screen tearing is present.

Running 1440P at 144hz, but again, the card has benchmarks that breeze through max GTA settings.

What case? "Open" is not necessarily indicative of good airflow, there are totally open type cases out there that suck for air cooling

I know my card is a bit different (RTX ROG Strix 2080 OC), but it idles at 29.

I've not seen the card higher than 74, on anything.

It's kinda pointless information.

There's so many variables.
>Case
>Fans
>Ambient temp
>Fan curve

Plus, idle temps don't matter much, so long as they're not stupidly high (like 70+c)

Edit ; and the fact that it's a different card.

Ibuypower doesnt usually put much thought into case cooling unless you configure it yourself.
See if you can throw some extra case fans in there.

Could you take a picture of the computer? Its hard to tell you what the possible issue is.

Though what I can tell you is that if you overclocked it, tone down the OC or reset the clock. If you didn't touch the clocks RMA the computer.

Some places are very humid. Asian countries like India, China can get very hot and humid which can be solved by air conditioners though js dangerous for electronics due to condensation

So no overclocking on my end. I live in Nevada as well, pretty dry. It gets hot here, but I keep the AC on at about 70 throughout the house. So no heat problems outside the case. You can find the image link at the bottom here.

Also, It appears the temps are significantly better once the case is open. It's not breathing inside the case at all. I believe if I added a high RPM fan on the top, it would help push the air out.
Also it seems most of the heat is resonating right above the GPU, inbetween the liquid cool fan for the CPU. Think that's why the CPU temp is also increasing?

Witcher 3, maxed out, 1440P G-sync, the GPU was a steady 73. CPU got as high as 84 max. But average was in the low 70's.

I didnt like that image, too bright lol.
Here's a better picture to see what I'm dealing with.

Lastly,
If i make any changes in Asus GPU tweak to the video card. Even something minor like changing the fan speed 1%; the card LED lights freak the hell out. They start rapidly flashing like crazy.
Thats what leads me to believe the card is defective.

The PC is built VERY well, I cannot see anything physically wrong with the build at all.

I reccomend just sending back the PC anyways. Fans may be defective or they set a custom fan curve to reduce noise.

I have decided to send back the GPU. I'll see how the new one runs. If there's no difference still, then I'll look at shipping the PC back. But hopefully it doesnt come to that lol.

Ibuypower did an excellent job on the PC build. Though you should have just sent the whole PC back, less hassle imo
