    [SOLVED] Undervolting 1080 Ti is hot at Idle??

    Hi, I’ve been getting into undervolting recently and I found it super beneficial with my 1080 Ti Aorus, non-extreme as I like my PC quiet and run my fans on low RPM, due to this the GPU can sometimes hit 80°+ underneath max load. Undervolting made a world of difference as my card is now...

    Question 2060 thinks its overheating

    I had a single fan 2060 but the thermals were too hot so I decided to get a small and compact 2 fanner from Zotoac.
