hy
i have the same card like u have...
with my H55+2x Vardar F3 i can reach the 71-73C in unigine valley.... starting from 65-67 and goes up to 71-73C.... in games are the same...when i set the v-sync less then 144Hz (120 or under) the temps of course goes down... stabile at 65-66C.... its fine.. i understand..
if i remove the original backplate+cover i have a massive FPS drop in any games... just standing in the menu aaaand the fps goes down so fast... OK. right. cooling is important for VRMs...
before the H55+G12 I used an Accelero Xtreme IV.... same temperatures like now i have with H55+Vardars... Iam so confused... i dont understand what is actually happening here right now...
case is OK i think. Haf932 AMD Edition + HAF X side panel (with fan)
H105 push-pull on the top of the case for CPU...
PSU: RM750x
PS.
before the 2080 i've had an ASUS Turbo 1070.. (with the ACE4)...
