So I recently got a SC2 1080ti second hand, with the stock cooler I was seeing temps of close to 80c across the board (core, mem, & power) with the card OCed. I wasn't really happy with the core temps specifically so I ended up putting the card into an Alphacool Eiswolf GPU AIO. These coolers come with an actual block for the GPU that actively cools the core & passively cools the memory & power. With the Eiswolf core temps have come way down, 54c was the maximum I seen on the core during a 2 hr stress test with Heaven. Although the memory & power are still getting up to 80c under heavy load & around 75c under regular gaming loads. I know I have all the thermal pads properly installed & good airflow through my case, as temps on them both start to drop immediately & fairly quickly once the load is removed. Also when the card is just idling the core, memory, & power all hover around 33 to 37c. I know 80c is nothing to worry about on the power as most power delivery components are good up to 125c. Although I haven't been able to find any good info on what the maximum temp is & what are acceptable temps is for GDDR5X. On the spec sheet for Micron GDDR5X it says the maximum storage temp is 125c, but that doesn't tell me much about what the operating temps should be. So does anyone know if I should be concerned with the memory temps running in between 70c & 80c when the card is under load & has thermally stabilized? Thanks in advance for any info &/or help!

95c is the max for the vram.

Cool, thanks for the info! I figured 75 to 80c was in the safe range, but I couldn't find anything about it anywhere.
