Hi, I've just finished my water cooling setup and I'm having performance issues with my GTX 1080 :-( I'm using an EK-FC1080 GTX water block and was installed with no problems. No leaks at all, good water pressure. I just can't understand why it would run poorly. When scrolling web pages, it judders. Tried to run the Witcher 3 which was a constant 60 fps before on air, now runs at around 5fps. Youtube videos are extremely jumpy, worse in full screen. Somethings wrong somewhere and I can't think of anywhere to look. Everything is sitting at 27 degrees so I don't think it's heat related. Could you give me some ideas to try please as at the minute, I'm at a loss. Probably the panic giving me a mental block ;-)

Can you monitor clock speed, load and temps in Precision X, Afterburner or GPU-Z?
Power cable installed (8-pin PCIe)? Latest driver installed?

Gonna be that guy here: your pics don't show your GPU power plugged in (iirc that should mean it won't boot).
The other thing is that you may have a short from the water block making contact with something it shouldn't be.
Another is that the water block is on too tight. Try backing off the screws to just hand tightened.

+1, I don't see the 8-pin plugged in.

 Yes, that was a picture I took when I finished the build :-) Power connector is in.

Ok, can you monitor what happens with load? Driver seems to be the latest.

How do I monitor the load? I've found something similar "Load Limit"? It constantly reads 1 if that's what you're after? I bet it's not

It is in now it's up and running, that picture was when I finished it. I've backed off the screws a little but no difference.

GPU Usage bounces from 0-5 if I don't do anything. If I scroll a webpage it'l bounce up to 85, then 90 back to 65 then 90. A youtube video runs it to around 8% load but framerate is roughly 6fps. Is there something specific you're after?

Under gaming.

Wow, that is really weird.... Is your monitor connected to the Mainboard and not the 1080 directly?

Sounds like a Video Driver Issue. I would do a clean install of the newest driver again, even though they are already installed. There is a sticky post to try to clean them up if nvidias clean install doesnt.

Nope, it's going direct to the 1080 via HDMI. Everything ran fine when on the stock fan, it's since I've put the water block on I'm having this weird problem. I'll put the stock cooler back on tomorrow and see if it solves it but I have no idea what could be wrong.

I've already reinstalled them but not with that method, I'll try it thanks **EDIT** Uninstalled drivers as per the sticky. Did it in safe mode with DDU, reinstalled the drivers with a clean install and it's still the same :-(

Something is very wrong. Currently I would guess that you damaged the card in some way...

Maybe try plugging the HSF fan in to the card to see if that changes anything? Could be if it doesn't see a fan it throttles?

Did you test the Card Before you installed the Water Block?
What is the Bios showing your card is running Gen 1 2 or 3 and what speed x4 x8 or x16?

Try an other hdmi cable. Try display port if you can.
You could also try to remove the card and reseat it. Check the bios if you are running pci-e gen3.

Just a thought but did you make sure your card and everything else is properly seated. Make sure you have an HDMI 2.0 cable and not just any HDMI cable.

I did think about throttling due to no resistance from the fan but I don't think I can get to the plug as it's a full face water block and it hides it, I'll double check later.
I did check the card before installing the block and it ran fine for 3 days on air so it's since I've installed the block.
I've pulled the card out slightly and reseated as I'm using hard tubing and it made no difference but I'll remove it later
I've got a backplate coming today so it needs taking back out anyway so I'll remove the block and see if anything is visually damaged. If all looks OK, I'll reinstall everything and try and again. If I still get poor performance, I'll reinstall the stock hsf and see if that cures. If it doesn't, not sure what to do with it then.

Test the card in a different pc. If you think that the card might be the problem. Start an rma on it.

My best guess would be the hard tubing preventing the card from seating properly. It would make sense its making contact to get a signal but not fully seated to get a good signal. It seems that would be the only real difference between the stock cooler. If it were temps than you would have a different set of problems. Other than that if somehow having the fans disconnected is cuasing an electrical disturbance but that would be a faulty card issue for RMA.

Did you properly apply the correct thermal pads on the vrm/ memory? I think I would pull that gpu and recheck everything. I custom watercool also and I know what I am suggesting is a pain but something is wrong.

I'll reseat the gpu later, I've got some flexible hose I can use temporarily to rule that out.
Thermal pads were correctly seated and in place during installation. I'll completely strip it down when I get in from work shortly.

Suggestion, if you're pulling it apart anyway, try reinstalling the stock cooler and see what happens. If it works then you did something wrong when mounting the water block. If it's still the same with the stock cooler you've probably damaged the card and need to RMA.

There is not much to installing water block on GPU and if he reseated the card in PCIe already, played with drivers and still no go and it worked before, hard tubing will make no difference he would obviously see the issue offhand I can almost bet it's the card itself, possibly damaged. All it takes slight static on any of the soldered parts, or card could have been flaky already, hopefully I'm wrong.
