Hello all.
 
My apologies in advance since I didn't find a similar thread that would EXACTLY explain my question / situation so I'm posting here (and please excuse my typos).
 
Bought a GTX 1080 Ti Black Edition gaming a week ago and recently installed EVGA Precision XOC. Aside from the software only showing 1 temp (which I believe I can fix) I have a some issues that bug me.
While gaming ANY intensive game (for instance the Division, PUBG, GTA V and even World of Warcraft) I can see my temps jumping to like 77-80 degrees C and my clock jumping all the way to 1949 (as shown on the picture) I saw the hottest moment while playing PUBG (uncapped) at around 80 degrees and 1923 mhz while fan speed was 2800 rpm or such. I haven't done any overclocking or stuff. In idle mode my temp is around 58-59 degrees C and clock is at 1430 mhz usually. Since i have read conflicting reports all around that the card is prone to overheating thought I'd rather ask the people. I have checked the fans and both are spining normally (as far as I can tell atleast).
 
My other specs are :
 
Asus Z370 TUF Gaming Plus
GSkill Ripjaws V 3000 mhz
Corsair 750 W CX750 bronze 80+
Intel i7-8700K
Noctua NH-D14 air cooler
Zalman Z11 PLUS
 
Also have 3 Monitors : BENQ ZOWIE XL2411P 144 hz (in DP), BENQ GL2250 60 hz x2 (in DVI and HDMI) - All are running on 1920x1080
 
Is this normal for the card to get a bit hot ? I don't have any screen tear or the sort and have been able to solve the problem in less demanding games (like CS GO) by limiting frame rate to 144 / 150. Despite that some games (like World of Warcraft) still make my CPU go at like 77 degrees C. This is my first "premium" PC and graphics card since the last card i had was r9 380 nitro that went at max 71 degrees C at full load.
 
PS. Case opening is kinda out of the question since i will void the free hardware checkup for the next 2 years.
 
Help ?
 
Thanks in advance.

You have inadequate cooling to the GPU is why your temps are higher than they could be. The GPU is using the air inside the case to cool itself. The CPU cooler which is also dumping it's heat inside your case is also the same air 'cooling' your GPU.  Whatever you can do to get more airflow THROUGH the case and OUT will help.

aka_STEVE_b
HEMI is correct in that it sounds like you need a tad more airflow through the case..... 
 
But your statement about  -" Case opening is kinda out of the question since i will void the free hardware checkup for the next 2 years.  ""  ,  has me puzzled ??   
Didn't you open the case to install this new video card ? 
 
 
 

Yar...I was pondering that...It may be that he had it upgraded by a computer shop that sells systems with a service contract. BTW,  I have a flight deck flashback every time I see your cranial. Ha ha.

At any rate.. how many fans do you see on this pc?? Do you have some pics of it? Know the make or model of the case?

He might be able to open some software to adjust fan speeds for the case fans or go into the bios to adjust the fans.

Hello again, my apologies for the late reply. The case is the Zalman Z11 PLUS.

I didn't mention this before : I bought the PC already done at the shop. I picked the components myself (except the case which the shop recomended since the one i wanted - Zalman Z9 plus wasn't available) and they put it all together free of charge  and gave me 2 year "waranty" (if that's what you can call it) for problem detection (or regular checkups that everything is fine), and separate waranty by component. When i was looking at the case i saw atleast 3 fans working (1 at lower front 1 at the top and one at the top back, not sure about the one on the bottom). For the rest i cannot tell really. PS. I currently have it on the floor..perhaps moving it would help ?

Or replace the case right ? :D

How long have you had this pc?

If it was me . it's time to learn how to build your own pc. I dont know you so no idea of your level of geekness or potential to build your own but its. Its that hard. Plenty of videos on youtube.

I've had the PC for a week. My level of geekness was through the roof before, i always built my own PC-s but lately i kinda grew clumsy so a bit afraid to do it (last time i was tampering with stuff i accidently broke a few keys on my keyboard, fried the cable on my mouse etc) so i'd rather not :D. I did some adjusting for the framerates on games but tbh it still runs on like 75 degrees C. Probably doesn't help that It's very hot and humid where i live so atm my room is like 27 degrees C :D (Summer in Croatia). Thanks for the tip i will remove it from the floor promptly. And yes, do not tamper stickers are there. I called the shop to which they told me that it's normal for that GPU to even go to 85 degrees C and that when they usually do the wiring and general assembly of the PC they make sure it has a nice air flow. Guess i need to make some adjustments and try some more tests if nothing i can always return it and demand changes, since the PC cost me a pretty penny

Option to return?? Hmmm

53c on air cooler was max my ftw3 1080ti did before I installed a water block.. 60s c is where you would want the card. You can adjust the fans on the card with evga's precision x oc software.

You need to find out if you can adjust the case fans in the mb bios.. usually del or f1 key at post.

Prob cheap fans though.

Yeah i was messing around with the fans in the ASUS BIOS and i had an option called QFAN control, set my 2 chasis fans (to which i was like what only 2?!) to DC & turbo mode atm will see results.. Well return is an option but i bought in with my credit card on a monthly payment scheme (12 months in total - don't know how to say it differently). After i did the Multi power display saver thing mentioned earlier i did get a decrease in initial temp which is now 50 degrees C and decrease in GPU clock which is now 215-415 mhz in idle mode. I do have my old rig which has a Zalman Z9 PLUS case that i can mess with (maybe swap) but rather not atm. I'm guessing the bottom line will be that I'll just send it to the shop for testing and eventual case / fan replacements (for the better ones ofc), since i gave like 2200 € for the PC might as well give a few extra € to make it run smoothly.

Will do. Thanks for the info :), you guys've been really helpful :D
 
 
 
 
 

Got some pics of the PC but can't post at the moment. Perhaps tomorrow. Internet's gone so im piggybacking on my uncle xD. I manually set the fans @ 50 % (1800+rpm atm) and the temp is like 43 degrees C. Need to set up that curve.

Perhaps I've found the problem. 2 fans are blowing INTO the CPU Cooler meaning that the air gets "wasted". Would explain it.
 
 

Back fan and top fan..since the cooler (noctua nh d14) is between.

It's like this..The rear (back) fan is spinning inward (taking air in), the top fan is also doing that..the air CPU cooler is going clockwise (as far as i can tell) and the front one (which is at the front bottom of the case) is going outwards. Hope is explained it correctly
