The back of the card will always be hotter than the front.
 
Why? The HSF is on the front, not the back.

Thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. The heat generation is in the front (by the components) of the card and then transfers to the back. The back will always be cooler than the front as it is insulated by the PCB. This is simple thermal dynamics...

Guess you missed posts 8 and 9?

Try getting your own IR gun and testing. You might just learn the truth.
 
My VRMs read 40C at the front, and 60C at the back of the card at the solder joints sticking out. Yet according to you that's the most ridiculous thing that you've ever heard. Guess what? It's fact, right there in front of me, me boyo.
 
I didn't bother with the GPU die, but it is likely the same since the GPU die sensor reads 39C at most in Afterburner. (Kraken X41 AIO cooler with a Kraken G10 bracket on my 1080 ACX 3.0 card at 2202/5557 looping Valley)

Why are you even posting here when you're using a 3rd party water cooling solution? We're talking about the ACX 3.0 setup, not custom water cooling. All information you provide here is irrelevant.

Lol, I just noticed OP isnt even taking temp readings of the VRMs, as you can clearly see he's taking reading of the VRAM. Quite funny.
 
If the VRAM is running at 83c then the VRMs are well over 100c+ easily. He's 1.5 inches AWAY from the VRMs and as we see in other thermal spectrum pics, the VRM section is significantly hotter than the VRAM area.

Lol, indeed. -Starting to suspect a troll....
 
I noted that I could only post a single pic in my OP. (Not sure why) So I posted the hottest reading I could get off of the card while it ran Furmark (20 minutes at this point)
 
I measured temps all over that card. I did not feel like taking pics of every square centimeter of the  card. the readings I took pics of are THE HOTTEST TEMPS FOUND....ANYWHERE on my card. (Other than the GPU which was in the low 70's...but that has a built in sensor so...)

So only the ACX cooler has a front side and a backside of the PCB?
 
Your assertion that the measurements taken from the back of a card are ~20 degrees cooler than the temps on the components/other side of the card simply falls apart when tested.
 
 

^ Yeap.
 
10 to 1 he comes back and trolls more, even with the proof slapping him in the face.
