How do I get to 100 quicker??? Why is it so hard to get one of these things???

Hey all.
 
I was playing PUBG last night at stock with my stock 1080 Ti SC2 and hitting temps of 81-82C. At what point does the gpu throttle? I'm a bit worried that those temps seem high before OC. Is this normal?

Try positioned the AIO rad to the top of the case as intake and leave the front as intake for fresh cooler air for the GPU.  You should see some improvements there, assuming your ambient room temps aren't too high.

I've been playing with my SC2 for a couple days now playing various games (Overwatch, BF1, PUBG, FH3, etc...) in both 1080p and 4k all at ultra settings and my card never go pass 75C after a few hours of gaming. You can run some heaven benchmark to see at which temp your card will throttle down.
 
Do you have the fans on the AIO radiator as intake? If that is the case, that's might be the culprit as it is blowing hot air from the radiator directly onto your card.

I wonder, but in testing people have found having the rad in front makes a marginal difference to GPU temps vs the potential to heat up the CPU with open Fan designs. Esp on a large rad like the 280 I don't believe it will affect the air coming in all that much.

That video is only talking about the positioning of the radiator. He didn't discuss the pros/cons of doing intake/exhaust through the radiator. The only thing I can think of that's making your card heating up so much even though you're not playing a GPU intensive game. hopefully you'll find a solution soon though.

That's exactly what the video tests though. The top rad mount is for exhaust. The front is for intake. 

You can try front, top (Rad), bottom as intake and rear as exhaust.  

I actually found the issue. The default fan curve on the Power Fan was spinning too low. I kicked the curve to match the GPU fan curve more closely. Now hitting 75-76 deg as opposed to 80-82 I was seeing... I guess the icx independent fan rpm isn't such a great idea with my setup
