What are your 1080 water cooled temps? (trying to figure if mine is high)

I've had my 1080 since like October and that whole time it has been watercooled. It's a Palit Gamerock premium and it initially had its own loop in a Thermaltake X9 (360 + 240 radiator - was SLI 970's) , since then its been in an INWIN 303 which has just been revamped post my Ryzen 1700 switch.

So here's the set up:

1700 @ 3.95ghz + Ek Supremacy
1080GTX @ ~ 2050mhz (Palit boost - not modded) with EK 1080 block
Alphacool XT45 360mm crossflow rad + 3x Thermaltake Riing 12 fans
Alphacool UT60 240mm rad + 2x EK Varder
Alphacool XT30 120mm crossflow rad + 1x EK Varder

So, quite a lot of cooling for CPU + GPU. The Ryzen temps are fine 20C idle and 40 - 45C loaded. Ever since I've had the 1080 I've seen it get as high as 63C which I figured was fine looking at air cooled cards and it's clockspeed. Today I commented on a thread where the guy seemed to have the tubes connected to all 4 ports (both sides of each) his GPU and I offered advice about using one tube to each side as per EK. Anyway, that wasn't the issue, another guy popped up and said he had 1080 SLI that never went above low 30's. I initially thought BS (although I didn't say that ) as my temps on a big loop can get to almost double, so I decided to look up the subject, it seems he may be right (not an issue). I've seen people saying that 45C should be the sort of max load temp for a 1080.

So here's some pictures of the loops.

The initial one (TT X9) - White loop was for the 1080 (this is actually a picture from the 970 SLI, but it stayed the same for the 1080) - Again I seen 63C



Build now:



The block has been replaced since the first picture as it had an internal leak, so it has been reseated, I'm pretty sure that aint the issue anyway as I would expect it to get a lot higher.

Anyone have any ideas what my problem maybe?

What temps are others getting?

Thanks

63C does seem high. I have a 1080ti FE clocked @2063 with 550 on the memory, and my card doesn't go over 36C on load. I do have my card on it's own loop with a Hardware Labs 560 SR2 and an EK XE480 which is overkill but my fans are not over 600RPM. I would remount that card and check your block contact.

ill have a look later, but I'm not convinced this is the issue as it is the second block that has been on the card

Hi there

As above 63°C is way to high for 1080,running three GPUs(GTX1080Ti and 2*GTX1080) and my temps per GPU are, Ti temps are in 34-36°C and both GTX1080 temps are very similar, that's in rendering and in gaming previously I have run in SLI and not seen temps higher than 34-36°C

Ti is running 2124MHz OC,GTX1080 running 2164MHz and second running 2100MHz

My loop consists with 360mm 60mm thick radiator at top and 240mm 60mm thick radiator and 120mm 30mm thick radiator

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

Thanks your loop order is very similar to mine and temps much better, just reseated the block (had to drain loop again, grrrr)

Ok as above I reseated the block and changed the paste. I also wasn't a ***** with the block screws and tightened the **** out of them. I also stripped the block and cleaned it to make sure it wasn't block, there was quite a bit on the "plate" between the block and cover but the sink was pretty clean.

So basically, Final Fantasy 14 online seemed to be the main culprit for driving the temps up, ive been online a few minutes now and temps do seem a lot lower, however (big however) I'm running the pump and fans at full speed to help bleed the loop, but at the moment 35C.

Ill report back in a while if all is good a decent speeds

cheers

After the loop is bled again you can turn the pump way down I'm sure. I think now that you reseated the card you're going to be much happier with the temps. I had 2 1080's in SLI before my Ti, and they both never went over 39C on load. They draw less wattage than the Ti' as well.

Like other replies above mine only hits 35-38 under load. 360 and 280 rads with 6700k in the same loop, fans are around 800rpm.
Ok running my usual pump and fan speeds now, there has been improvement but not to the extent of some that i'm seeing. Superposition bench has dropped from 55C to 45C, Final Fantasy dropped from 63 to 43C, I'm gonna try BF1 or ME:Andremeda now and see how the temps are. I think some of my issue is down to the INWIN 303 case trapping heat in

Hi there

These temperatures are not bad but still bit high but can be down to case as you are said

Which ones EK Vardar are you running, assuming you are using or running EK Vardar F3 1850RPM or are you have lower speed fans?

These TT rings fans are not the best, you should have look on better fans as well

But yours build looks good there, just these GPU temps are bit high, you need to find perfect balance for fans and pump settings there

Here is my







Hope this helps and good luck

Thanks, Jura

3x GPU's nice haha must be fun keeping those cool!

I just tried BF1 and it got to 48C, around 15C lower but still quite high I feel for 640mm worth of rad space. The fans I have are EK Varder F4, 2x on the 240mm radiator in the base and one on the 120mm rad in the rear.

Hi there

Regarding the temps, they're not bad top GTX1080Ti is running at 34-36°C,2*GTX1080 are running at 34-36°C as well,these temps are during the rendering in Octane or IRAY or SuperFly/Cycles

In gaming temps are at 36-38°C as max with fans running at 1200RPM on top and on bottom 1100RPM, during the rendering fans are running bit faster by 100-200RPM more,trying to keep water delta under 8-10°C

What is yours ambient temperature and what water temperature do you have?

You are have very similar setup to my, but I'm running on top and bottom fans in push pull configuration, top fans are Noiseblocker BlackSilent Fan XLP, bottom are EK Vardar F3 1850RPM and one on 120mm

But agree you should have very similar temperatures to my or very similar, in BF1 my temps are pretty same around 36°C as max

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

Considering putting a 120mm hole and fan in the front to blow some cool air in there, just trying to find a fan grill that isn't in your face or looks like it was 10c from a car boot sale

Well I did it haha and sprayed the inside white - looks like it is off central, it is and supposed to be due to the rube routing inside - temps seem a little better now, but still not around the 38C some people are quoting

Am I seeing it wrong, or are you running the input and output on the GPU block backwards? EK blocks are directional. It looks to me like you are using the right port as inlet, left as outlet, which is backwards. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, but EK does state that it makes a difference.

Just checked the manual, no recommends and a statement saying you can use either port as in/out

I actually just noticed that the original manuals say you can use either port. The manual revision from March 2017 has this:


Shouldn't make a big difference either way.

Ye mine aint a ti, its a palit 1080 Gamerock premium that uses the 1080 Jetstream block

1. Remove the glass side panel and see if your temps drop.
2. Increase your fan speeds do your temps drop?

1. Increase fan (leave side on)
2. Open side (keep current fan speed)
3. Open side + increase fan speed.
Normal ambient - I kinda already said the side panel holds all the heat, hence why I added the front intake

Hi, as everybody says, 63c is little to high, we know it also depends of room temperature but still is high.

this is mine on full load

The manual you just post says clearly "use left port as inlet and right port as outlet for BEST cooling performance.

Since reseating the block and adding a front intake fan it now tops out around 47C. Also, that manual isn't for all blocks, this is the manual from my block

And it appears to me that the flow is the reverse of that, which is why I brought it up.

There is no update for your manual yet. However, the internals of the blocks are essentially identical. What differs is mostly cut out and screw hole placements, as well as slightly different shapes to match card designs.

One thing I have noticed is that my block seems have fluid in other places rather just the channel - this is also the second block I have had that does it, thinking about it, that could mean that it isn't fully flowing through the actual heat sink. I had the first 1080 block replaced as started to leak but was initially told by EK that it wouldn't affect the performance and was merely cosmetic, heres an example:



which turned into:



See how it seeped out to the edges.

My current block is also like the one in the first picture albeit with blue coolant.
