Interesting. My main gaming monitor is G-Sync compatible, and it is enabled, but my two secondary ones are not. Ive tested pretty much everything so far, and it seems that 120hz/144hz/120hz is the upper limit before my GPU stops downclocking. However, im still sort of left wondering whether or...

Ill provide a little more information about my monitors: My two secondary monitors are both ASUS Rog 32 Inch, 1440p, 144hz panels. My main monitor is a Samsung 32 inch, 1440p, 240hz panel.

Hmm thats interesting. Right now its downclocking correctly with my main monitor being at 144 and my secondary monitors being at 120. But if they have to be divisble by eachother, wouldnt that mean it should be able to downclock correctly while all 3 monitors are at 144hz? If i put my secondary...

Hello there. I will try to keep this short and sweet. I'm just looking to figure out whether or not this is normal behavior for this kind of graphics card, or if i potentially have a faulty unit. Or maybe i have some settings wrong in general. I have gotten my hands on a ASUS ROG Strix 3080TI...

Ok so - update, im very Removed confused I've been testing the card for a while and figured out a way that the card would let itself get hotter than 70C without going Removed apeshit. I ran RDR2, and as expected the fans went to 100% at 69C. However, if i launch the escape menu ingame, and...

Used DDU to clean, then reinstalled an older driver. Same issue, 68-69C the fans go crazy to keep the GPU under 71C. Tried moving the case so the GPU was relatively horizontal for a few minutes, but didnt seem to stop the fans from going crazy either

Now that i think about it, im pretty sure i updated my drivers right around the time the problem occurred. Ill try rolling back to a previous driver version and putting my case down on its side to allow the card to run horizontally and see if the issue persists. Thanks for the suggestions!

Yep that is how you mount it, however the mounting points on the Corsair 680X dont have much support when you cut off the PCIe brackets, so i ended up breaking a few of the mounting points. The bracket only needs to be screwed into 2 points, one at the top and one near the bottom, those two...

It started with EFT yes, but the GPU had been running just fine like it used to for about a week before it occurred. If the airflow was fine for the first week, i dont see why it suddenly isnt okay anymore. I changed nothing since the problem started. It is not just "gpu fans run a bit...

Apologies, i think i explained it wrong. I have no intake fans directly below the GPU. What i mean by intake fans blowing air under the GPU is that the bottom fan of my 3 front intakes is mounted so that it is pushing air from the front of the case, under the GPU.

This happens with any game, or any application that makes use of the GPU to a point where it goes above 69C. As i said in the original post; Just a couple days ago i completely formatted my drives and installed a completely new version of windows, so no programs would have carried over. I dont...

BTW, it is worth noting i didnt have this problem from the beginning. It started not too long ago. The card has been running fine in the vertical mount for a little while. It started some day while i was playing Escape From Tarkov, the fans started going crazy and i was like "huh, thats weird"...

Sidepanel open makes no difference. As soon as the temp hits 69 the fans go to 100%, once its back down to 67-68, they go back to my normal fan curve, and at 69 back up to 100%. I put my hand under the GPU and it didnt feel any hotter below the GPU compared to over it. It has quite a lot of...

Yup that is the bracket Im using. So if the temp in Afterburner is an average based on those 3 sensors, wouldn't it be higher? When i ran the card horizontally, it would hit 74-76C under load. If one of the sensors are now getting very warm (86-88C?), and the other two are atleast 70C like...

Hahaha, says the dude coming in here telling me my fans are supposed to go overheat mode and run at 100% when hitting 69C. You are outta your mind friend :D You need to google some 2080ti temperature benchmarks. Quite honestly thought you were joking.
