Third time is a charm?

Definitely mid 60s for me as well on everything max. Might drop down to 54 or so in some scenes.
On another note.. should I swap my TI out for a gaming X? Looking for a card that isn't as loud. Heard good things about the Gaming X.
Why sour?Slow clap...
In case anyone was wondering, the prolimatech mk-26 fits the msi armor edition of the 1080 ti. I've got it to 2.08 on the core, along with +400 on the memory(haven't really pushed that to the limit yet. But, it runs at 68C and is dead silent while playing witcher 3 @ 4K. Kinda fun View attachment 24208 View attachment 24209 View attachment 24210
This is similar to how my Aorus non-extreme 1080Ti looks. Wasn't happy with the factory triplet toy fans.
Why sour?
Truth is I just found out from a friend that the phrase you used was positive. Haha, I shouldn't be so cynical. Thanks though.No no, I'm honestly admiring the engineering.
Sounds normal. +75 is an aggressive overclock with GP102 on air. Plus, the 2-fan version of the iCX cooler isn't that great. Really the only difference between it and the old ACX cooler is extra sensors. Could try replacing the thermal compound to see if that makes a difference.So, this seems out of the ordinary and i've had my EVGA 1080ti SC Black Edition for about a week but last night I was playing Alien Isolation @ 3440x1440 with all settings maxed and I took my headphones off and I heard the GPU for the first time. So I Alt-Tabbed out and saw that the temps were reaching 80c with the fan near 100%. I have never heard the card before and I have the fan profile set to Aggressive. If I set it to something anything other than that either custom or quiet, the temps keep rising and I have hit 84c before I turned the Fan Curve back to aggressive. When I heard it I had a modest over clock of +75 on the core with +150 on the Mem. I lowered it to 50 and 100 and was still nearing 80 a couple times while playing.
Is that normal? The temp threshold is set to 89, but I have never seen it get this high before let-alone heard the card when playing other games.

I have never done that before. Does that void the warranty through EVGA?

Mine runs a good bit cooler than that. I have my fan curve set to 70% at 75*. Running Firestrike Ultra stress test it will hit 76* after 20 loops.
What does everyone do to test the thermal handling of their cards?
When I run those tests it stays within those temps too, but when playing certain games it gets quite high.

Do you guys run support GPU brackets for less strain on the motherboard or do you think it's a sham? I was looking at different solution either they are ugly unecessary or break on you before the card does.
Sweet, those FTW3s look nice. Have you had a chance to see how they perform when undervolting? For some cards, you don't lose many clocks and can really cut back on the heat output.
Just got these in. So nice...
This looks awesome, however I have to ask; unless you have like $700 to burn is there any reason whatsoever to get SLI? I know in games that fully support it perform well, but from what i've read around here and elsewhere is that SLI never truly pays for itself in value to performance and I remember reading that sometimes you get better/smoother gameplay when only using a single card. Stability issues seem to be a issue. SLI has been around for so long as well as Crossfire, but I have never read on here over the last 13 years i've been here or anywhere someone saying "SLI/Crossfire was so worth it!"
I'd recommend putting the extra $700 toward a G-Sync monitor instead. I hardly ever need to worry about framerate anymore.This looks awesome, however I have to ask; unless you have like $700 to burn is there any reason whatsoever to get SLI?

Haven't tried that yet and don't really feel like it would be necessary. My case has good airflow and my CPU is under water. I'd feel better knowing that being at stock voltage, cards will most likely be stable and I won't have to worry about the odd crash or lockup otherwise if I under volted to save a little off of TDP
Card boosts to 2032mhz runs games at full load 43C quiet as a mouse. Very impressed with the unit and east of installation. 4 screws and a couple of zip ties to clean up the cables a bit.

The new icx cards including the sc2 hybrid have more thermal sensors and evga went nuts with thermal padding on everything this time after that last fiasco so they should be good. The sc2 hybrid is only $30 more (each), maybe a little more if you want to swap out the 120mm fans with some hydro bearing ones.
Some reviewer:
No, the 1080 hybrid still needs the same modifications the Titan X and Xp do to fit the 1080 Ti. The 1080 Ti uses the same board as the Titan X.Regardng cooling SLI, the evga hybrid cooled cards are only about $30 more than some of the custom aftermarket air cooled cards too, by the way
Yes that hybrid cooler is nice.. i had 2 evga 1080 ftw hybrids for a short time.. they and the regular ftw cards ended up having what was called the black screen 100% fan issue. Had to return them.
Evga also sells a seperate 1080 hybrid cooler for around $100 i believe.. though that would only fit a fe card.. some were modifying it to fit a titan xp.
It's just a 120mm with better bearings and design on mounted on the radiator instead of using the stock one included in the box. It's not a swap of the the vrm fan inside the video card shroud though you could probably replace that with something from articcool if you wanted to get creative. If I was going to that far I'd probably just do the full nzxt bracket with a H90 AiO cooler like I did on my 780ti sc's..
I was considering getting FTW3's and putting my nzxt + H90 kits on them but I decided that I'd like to be good to go out of the box ez mode this time and not mess around much. I also won't have to re-use my H90's with a lot of miles on them, getting fresh pumps on the hybrids this way.
I'm going to swap the stock 120mm radiator coolers with few of these:
at amazon Cougar Vortex PWM 120 Cooling CF-V12HPB, Black
or here at newegg COUGAR CF-V12HPB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 12CM Silent Cooling Fan with Pulse Width Modulation (Black)
Noctuas are supposed to be pretty good too but I read a few reviews saying that they rev higher rpm and don't kick down in as many voltage steps. I also prefer the color of the cougars and used them before on my 780ti H90 radiators (140mm ones).
