Hello!
I've been having some temp problems with my graphics card, and decided to turn to the community here, for guidance and help.
It all started with my 2080Ti getting really hot, in the 95-96 celcius range (203-204 f). I decided to attempt installing a Kraken G12 on it, to see if that would help. On the GPU itself, it did, at least in the beginning. It dropped from the 90's range, down to around 70-75 (158-167), but lately it started getting hotter again.
So I installed HWmonitor, so I could check the other sensors on the card while playing games. Results in the uploaded image here.
First lines are 5 minutes after booting (just in windows) the second and third are from 10 and 20 minutes respectively in a game.
The highest I've seen it go, which I don't have screenshots of, are 98 (208,4) on the hot spot. Screenshot of some samples here:
I'm going to assume that's far, far from a safe temp range, but I'm at a loss as to what I can really do about it.
The GPU is an Asus GeForce® RTX 2080Ti 11GB ROG Strix card, now with the mounted G12, along with an NZXT Kraken x53 AIO cooler.
The case is a Corsair Carbide 600C inverse, and I can't think of ways to get air cooling to fit in that case, to get more air around the GFX.
So, I guess my questions are:
Should I change to a full pre-built aftermarket cooler for it and, if so, which models would you guys suggest?
I've been under the impression that buying and mounting small heatsinks wouldn't help in this case, because the heat still can't properly "escape" the card, as there's no fans that point directly to/from the area?
Are there other relatively easy-to-mount cooling units that could be used for the rest of the card, where the G12 is insufficient?
Thanks for your time, if you made it through my rambling
