Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to buy the cleaner. Yes, of course you can use that, it's made for that particular usage. For the thermal pads, it depends on their condition. You don't have to replace them systematically.

Asryan Also is it possible to use liquid metal on this card? The plate is not aluminium?
I'll let someone else reply on this subject. I don't want to misguide you. But as you say, it's a big no-no on aluminum stuff. It disintegrates it!

Apparently for what I saw lot of people did it.. I know someone who can do it on mine Also is reducing power target can lower temperatures? If i go to 85% for example I don't really see less fps and it has been a bit cooler so.. And is it a good idea to change the thermal pads as well? Maybe that will help with my power4 sensor that goes way hotter than the others? Are those good? https://www.amazon.fr/gp/...0IE0XRUG4KOB&psc=1

Here's a link to a thread about liquid metal: https://forums.evga.com/1080TI-FTW3-with-Liquid-Metal-m2687019.aspx For the power target question, you've answered it yourself. :) For the thermal pad, again it is not necessary, as long as they are still in good condition once you've removed the heatsink. But it wouldn't be a bad idea if you decided to replace them all with the best quality you can find just to make sure you get the best cooling.

About the liquid metal, you could ask EVGA to get an official answer. As well as your other questions too. They usually reply within 48 hours. If you do so, please come back to let know about their answers.

They told me they're not advising to do it..
Hm i checked the other topic and i'm not really sure to do it. Maybe just going with kryonaut and changing thermal pads will be enough, max temps i've ever seen are 76 or 78c so nothing to worry about I suppose

Good to know, thanks for sharing! :) Max temp is below 80C so as you say it's nothing alarming. Another thing you could look at in order to lower your gpu temp is how good the airflow in your computer case is.

Really good case indeed! At this point it could be a question of compromise, lower temp for a 'few' less fps. If you go with some Kryonaut and better thermal pads, I hope you'll get back to share the results. But I wonder about the quality of the thermal pads EVGA is using with this high-end card. Logically, It should be very high quality.

Sorry for the delay, I wasn't near my PC for a while. The Arctic pads seem to be a good choice, the quantity you get for the price and also the positive reviews. But if money isn't an issue then go for the better one, I mean why not? I've tried to find some 'benchmarks' or comparative tests with thermal pads but couldn't find anything particularly revealing. This webpage below is interesting but the pads are only tested on the VRM section of a motherboard, but it's worth a reading. https://www.hwcooling.net/en/test-of-chewing-gums-3-arctic-and-thermal-grizzly-minus-pads/3/ Personally, since I'm on a budget, I would go with the Arctic pads and see what temps I get. And if some areas are still too hot, I would then buy some better pads but just for those problematic areas. *One important thing I've learned throughout this reading: Never stack thermal pads in order to get the right thickness, ever.

I've bought the more expensive one, I just hope there will be enough. For what i saw on videos and all it seems I would need more of it I have issue to "locate" where i should change the thermal pads for the PWR 4. If someone knows...

Here are two screenshots, the first shows where is located PWR-4, but I'm sure you already knew about that, just wanted to include it for the sake of having a more complete info. The second one is a screenshot taken from this video on Youtube at 4:06. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBjTi0uj64E) I'm no expert at what should be done, but logically I would go for Pad-1 first and see if it makes any difference. Then Pad-2 and Pad-3 could also be good 'targets'. It looks like those Pads are 2mm thick. This has to be confirmed. *Just click to see the images (don't know how to post images on this forum) [img] https://postimg.cc/gallery/27ggls9cg/[/img]

Well, refering to the page in my previous post, the info goes like this:
1080/1070 FTW: Baseplate (Narrow) Pad: 26mm x 110mm x 1mm +/-0.1mm thickness Backplate (Wide) Pad: 58mm x 110mm x 2mm +/-0.1mm thickness *The only thing here is that the models are not the 'ti' versions. When contacting EVGA, did you specify you intend to use those Pads on the backplate?

The backplate is simply located on the back of the card. The baseplate is on the fans' side. Just to make sure, I would contact them again and be very specific, asking for a confirmation that the 1080ti needs 2mm Pads on the backplate, and not 1mm. Because if you use 1mm Pads where 2mm Pads are needed, chances are there won't be a good contact between the backplate and the card, and that could result in those areas getting too hot, at a point that it could damage the card. Again, I'm no expert, it's simply logical thinking.

Hello ! So, I changed the thermal pads, put kryonaut.. Cleaned it all and... the temps are really better. Haven't played for long but enought to see the improvement./ It was very dusty Before After

While I'm sure you might have seen some reduction in temp from changing the TIM/thermal pads, I'd say looking how clogged and dirty the cooler was and how good the original TIM application looks I might say this is also a cautionary tale on keeping your GPU clean. You've got a pretty dirty environment your PC is in. Can you either move it to a location with less dust or use filters? It is surprising how well a coating of heavy dust can reduce the cooling efficiency. Can you tell us over what period of time this buildup occurred?

Asryan Hi, Maybe have I noticed that before but I don't remember...
On some recent games like the division 2 or Devil May Cry 5, I've noticed that my GPU, (1080ti FTW3) seems to run a bit hotter than I remember.
here are the temperatures i've seen in HW info after some gaming on the division (and also my fan curve)
I just don't really understand too why pwr4 is way higher than the other ?
are those normal and safe?
I have a case h500m and at first I had the top fans set as intake, they are above the radiator, can"t fit under it and i set it up to exhaust, thinking that might help with GPU temperatures (did not noticed any difference on the cpu though)...
Thanks !
Wow I wish that was my card lol. Mine reaches 85C with aggressive fan curve sounding like a jet with just 20C room temp.... Also a ftw3 :x It'll be sent for RMA next week though so I hope I get a good one this time.
