Question 1080 Ti temp is reaching 80-85C ?

[ZeCarBin]

Yesterday, I bought a MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti DUKE 11G graphics card and it has been reaching temperatures around 80-85C on games like Phasmophobia and 7 Days to Die. It is the same for games that that are a bit more demanding like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Fallout 76. Is this temperature too hot for the GPU? I’m still pretty new to all of this really so I do not know too much.

Pretty old most likely needs a repasted.

Feeling the summer heat(higher temperature ambients)?
Dusted the card and the PC recently?

84C is the default limit, where Gpu Boost throttles back frequency harder. Unless it's sitting there, it's not as serious as spiking there on occasion.

Nvidia has a typical temperature target of 83C, so that just means the GPU is seeing full usage. The key here is what clock speeds are you seeing at these temperatures.

This and be sure the PC has proper ventilation and air flow, otherwise your case turns into an oven and just cooks the card.

I have 5 fans, 3 intakes in the front, 1 in the back and another at the top. I also do not know what clock I am running at. I’m pretty new at pc stuff.

Also I live in Southern California, it is currently 93F/34C right now and my home doesn’t have the best AC as of now.

Inside what, exactly? We can't confirm if the 2 lowest fans are doing anything for the gpu if we don't know what it is.

First of all, this GPU isn’t bad, but it’s not one of the premium cooler ones, so it’s more hot anyway. Secondly, repasting could help with the temperatures. Thirdly, yes, if your environment is hot anyway, it will certainly push those temps a lot higher than if you were situated in a colder country.

This is the fans. My cousin got me the computer a year ago. The only change I did to the PC was the graphics card yesterday.

So close - but we can't see what the front panel looks like.

Like this? Sorry for being new at this, trying my best.

The case is fine in my opinion. This GPU is just not sufficient cooling wise, the temps are probably normal, it’s just a average model that will either get hotter or way louder than more premium solutions. If you want lower temps increase fan speed, but be aware of the jet engine.

Oh, it's an Aerocool P7-C1. Looks fine for airflow.

I'd say it's the combination of the high room ambient temperature and the Duke cooler that are at work here.
The Duke cooler may be tackling a bit above it's weight class with that 330w power limit. Maybe it should've been limited to 300w like the Founder's Edition.
The card's backplate might be trapping heat too. Some of the older cards had backplates, but they were just for show. They had no thermal pads between them, so they didn't actually do anything besides make temperatures worse.

My Gigabyte Gaming OC(300w limit) didn't see over 65C when in use, but I was running the fans at 100%(I couldn't hear 'em) and the room ambient wasn't getting quite as high(closer to 30C) on hot days; I have a thermometer hanging in my room just for this.
