Probably so. But I thought if the Arrow setup wasn't so much off from the water, I might use it. Even horizontal, not close enough.

The Arrow has two 140mm 2500 rpm TY-143's. So the obvious question: since 99% of users will have a vertical MB in a vertical case, how can air coolers with heatpipes that end up horizontal be very effective? It seems like someone needs to design a high-wattage cooler with pipes that turn...

Thanks for the tips on case cooling. My thermocouples allow me to measure the air into the Arrow, so I know it is close to ambient, within two deg C. I think with the right case and fans, I might be able to bring this down to less than one deg. The GPU is essentially idling. But the...

Owcraftsman, the first tests were on open bench, Asrock X299 OC Formula board, horizontal, no clutter nearby to affect air flow. Ambient 25.5-26 deg C. Cpu 7980xe delidded by SL. Seasonic Prime 1000w platinum. 64GB Corsair LPX 3200. 1080ti ftw3. Power set to Hi Perf. AVX -3, -5. BCLK...

It sounds like the design of cooler heatpipes that I've seen so far just isn't correct for vertical (almost all) motherboards these days. The pipes need to turn 90 deg as soon as away from the baseplate and go upward, parallel to the MB, and the fins/fans would mostly have to be in the top of...

Thanks for your reply - I have never heard of this before. Will research more.

I am trying out a Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme, a double tower with eight heat pipes and hi-speed TY-143 fans, on this: SL-relidded 7980xe; Asrock OC Formula; Corsair LPX 4x16 3200; Seasonic Prime Ultra 1000w PSU; Corsair 750D Airflow In bench tests, the Arrow performs more than two...

I have the Strix 011G (air), and have been running stress tests, usually Time Spy Extreme 20 minutes, on it daily; no problems. I keep the memory clock at 15500 (7750), since I found that at 16000, the TSE stress test will often not finish. Be aware that if you have in mind flashing a...

EVGA Dark 50% off - check their site.

Well, almost done. I tried installing partitions on the mb so the 8700K (+ U14S) had one fan and the Strix the other. It improved the mid tower's long-term cooling to almost the same as with the case door off.

Replaced my two front case fans with TY-143's, one tied to the GPU, and numbers not quite as good, but still OK. Done.

Kyle, just went through OC on my 2080 ti Strix ( w/Micron ) before I read your review in detail. Mine was very similar on the numbers. I could not get the Time Spy Extreme stress test done until I dropped the GPU to 1750 and mem to 15500, which gave fr stability of 98.6%; mem at 16000 was not...

Advil and DrBorg suggest that higher mem clock rates may be causing 80 ti trouble. What makes me tend to agree is that at +1000, with my stock fans running at 100% and open case, my Micron-equipped Asus Strix 011G card would do benchmarks, but wouldn't pass stress tests, and temps were into the...

Received my Asus ti 011G (3 fan, thick fins) about ten days ago. It seems stable at +100 GPU, +1000 mem. Getting max boost 2070-2125. Time Spy Extreme graphics score 7270, with aggressive fans, max temp 62 deg. About 38% better than my 1080 ti ftw3 similarly OC'd. Fire Strike Extreme (X11)...

Had my Asus 2080 ti ROG Strix 011G Gaming for about ten days, just running OC benchmarks, no problems. +100 GPU.+1000 mem. Max boost 2125, max temp 62 deg. Time Spy Extreme graphics score 7270. I'm not reading about failures of this card. There is no Asus upflash for it, or intention of...
