Hello guys! I have a problem with my Gigabyte Aorus 1080ti waterforce, it is warming too much and too fast(actually this is what I think because I am not a pc expert). The most certain thing is the GPU gets temperatures around 90 degrees Celsius(this was the highest value that I could take). This is happening only when I play games, but is happening in any kind of game, from Cs:Go to Hitman 2. I should mention my LG monitor has a 2160x1080p(2k) and in this resolution I run every game. So because of this high temperatures I have lag, but the lag comes after very high temperature maybe a little bit over 90 degrees. At this temperature the cooler is getting crazy and is running with 3000 RPM or around it. I have this GPU for 1 year and a half and I never changed the thermoconductive paste and I never cleaned the dust from it. If I should change the paste what kind of paste should I use? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!High temperatures on Gigabyte Aorus 1080ti waterforce
My immediate thought if it's getting that hot is that the pump failed. Do you hear any noise coming from the video card? Do you hear any noise in the lines leading to the radiator?Hello guys!

I had a whole post typed out under the assumption that you have the card with the EK waterblock on it, and then realized you probably have the CLC version.Hello guys!

My 2nd thought, there could be a leak in the CLC.My immediate thought if it's getting that hot is that the pump failed. Do you hear any noise coming from the video card? Do you hear any noise in the lines leading to the radiator?
I don't know about that. I suspect that the solution was made specifically for this application.If the pump really isn't turning, you'll need to replace that CLC. I suspect you can use just about any Asetek-made CLC.
Wow, seriously? That seems like an awful lot of effort for what is surely a low production part.I don't know about that. I suspect that the solution was made specifically for this application.

GN did a teardown of the standard 1080 version in which it does look like it is a custom design from Cooler Master.

But first make sure it actually is the pump. It's possible there's something else going on, like a loose mounting screw that's letting the pump block thing come loose from the die, or just dried out thermal grease.RMA it if possible. If not I agree with the others, failed (or failing) pump most likely.

The GPU hasn't been disassembly so I don't think the problem is a screw. And I have it for almost 2 years.But first make sure it actually is the pump. It's possible there's something else going on, like a loose mounting screw that's letting the pump block thing come loose from the die, or just dried out thermal grease.
A good way to check, if you can't actually get a reading for the pump RPM, is to put one end of a screwdriver up against the pump body, and listen to the other end with your ear. If the pump is running, you'll be able to hear it. Note that you may have to pull the plastic shroud off the card to do this.
Do you know where can I find that kind of asetek-made CLC?I had a whole post typed out under the assumption that you have the card with the EK waterblock on it, and then realized you probably have the CLC version.
I agree with Armenius,it's probably that the pump isn't pumping. If you can monitor the pump speed like Corsair's CLCs do, see if it's running. If you can't, you can use a screwdriver as a stethoscope to listen to it.
If the pump really isn't turning, you'll need to replace that CLC. I suspect you can use just about any Asetek-made CLC.
It's unlikely, but it's possible it was loose to begin with. Chances are, it's the pump, but it doesn't hurt to confirm it before you look at dealing with an RMA (a hassle) or repairing the card yourself (also a hassle).The GPU hasn't been disassembly so I don't think the problem is a screw. And I have it for almost 2 years.
But if is not a loose screw, is a problem with the asetek CLC, because is yes I don't know where can I find that kind of CLC.It's unlikely, but it's possible it was loose to begin with.

Do the screwdriver thing first, though. If you're not in the US, if you remove the cooler, you may actually void the warranty if you disassemble it.
It appears that I was mistaken, and this is one of the few CLCs that is actually not made by Asetek.But if is not a loose screw, is a problem with the asetek CLC, because is yes I don't know where can I find that kind of CLC.
And it is possible to buy that CLC from Gigabyte if I don't have the warranty? I ask because I don't know if I have the warranty because I didn't build pc, someone did it for me, so maybe tomorrow I will ask for it. BTW if I have to send the gpu to a gigabyte service... Where are the gigabyte's services, I mean is possible to send it in other country?It appears that I was mistaken, and this is one of the few CLCs that is actually not made by Asetek.
Most CLCs are made by Asetek (NZXT, EVGA, Corsair for instance), but yours appears to be one of the few that is made by a different company (Cooler Master in this case). The only source for a replacement is likely to be Gigabyte.
I agree with Razor, you probably have to deal with Gigabyte if you want to get a replacement. The other option you can do if the product is out of warranty is to replace the cooler yourself using NZXT G12 GPU mount and a 120mm AIO cooler or use Raijintek Morpheus II or Accelero Xtreme III if you don't want to deal with AIO anymore.And it is possible to buy that CLC from Gigabyte if I don't have the warranty?

What is the best replacement, high end, the price doesn't matterI agree with Razor, you probably have to deal with Gigabyte if you want to get a replacement.

I've sent Gigabyte products to a service center in California before. If you're not located in North America, though, the place they'd have you send yours is probably not the same one I dealt with.And it is possible to buy that CLC from Gigabyte if I don't have the warranty?

Personally, I would go for the Accelero Xtreme III to replace your possible broken AIO as it cools pretty well and is pretty quiet if noise is a concern for you, though you may have clearance issue as the cooler is 288mm in length and 55mm in height.What is the best replacement, high end, the price doesn't matter
I want something with aio watercooling pleasePersonally, I would go for the Accelero Xtreme III to replace your possible broken AIO as it cools pretty well and is pretty quiet if noise is a concern for you, though you may have clearance issue as the cooler is 288mm in length and 55mm in height.

Looking at EK website, it looks like they are discontinuing their Phoenix AIO and just selling the remaining stock with only the 240 radiator core available. I say your suggestion using the NZXT bracket with an EVGA 120mm AIO is probably the best bet.The fans on those things suck, though. I have one that lasted less than a year, and the heatsink itself is freaking HUGE. I'd rather have an AIO too.
I'd go with an EVGA CLC and that NZXT bracket, which I would modify to fit, if I had to. An EK waterblock does exist for this card, though, so one option might be that quasi-AIO that EK sells, plus the water block.
its a square block/pump it wont work with an asetek aio. you'd need a g12But guys I don't know if I need that NZXT 12, take a look at my gpu
https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2609-gigabyte-1080-xtreme-water-force-tear-downits a square block/pump it wont work with an asetek aio. you'd need a g12
except for the fact that it is designed to work with that custom square cooler master aio. youre trying the round peg in the square hole...https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2609-gigabyte-1080-xtreme-water-force-tear-down
I mean I can remplace it without remove any part of the entire gpu
Can I put it like the old one? Just remplace it. I think that G12 was made for gpu that doesn't have watercooling alreadyhttps://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2609-gigabyte-1080-xtreme-water-force-tear-down

the g12 uses the standard holes around the core to mount. it will work but youd have to remove all the gigabyte heat sink stuff. otherwise youd have to try and source the oe part or send it to GB for repair/replacement.Can I put it like the old one?
