GTX 1070 thermal issues

[Lolmode]

Hello, i've just recently bought a GTX 1070 FE with the H100I closed loop water cooling but i've been getting temperatures like 78-82c when just playing overwatch. Is it completely normal?

No. I never see north of 66c on a gigabyte g1 with a good overclock.

You sure the fans spinning etc?

What load % and core clock when it reaches those temperatures?

His uses a Founders edition, which is the worst cooler for 1070/1080.

With h100i cooling....what model is that? Not FE....

huh, i didnt realize he attached a h110i to it. But it is a GTX 1070 FE. Im curious to how he attached a h110I to the 1070. That sounds like either improper mounting or a dying/dead H110i.

I'm also curious! Not something I'm aware of!

But yes, agree improper mount or pump issue or something.

There is a BIG difference between a GTX 1080 FE and G1. The FE is like all other reference blowers, they run around 80-83C under load. This is how they are designed to run. When pushed harder, they'll ramp up the fans, and stay in the same range.

Yes, but the OP mentioned a h100i, so if that was somehow on cooling duty, those temps are suspicious. I didn't know if there was a special FE with AiO....

But the BIOS on the card will remain the same, with the same fan curve as before the conversion. If he wants lower than 80-83C, that fan curve has to be manually changed. However, 80-83C is what it is designed to run at, so he likely has a super quiet solution now without the change.

Its 100% and the core clock is the usual tho im nt too sure about the core clock

Perhaps you didnt apply the thermal pads on the vrm's ? Just a thought.

The BIOS on the card does not change when you change the cooling solution, and the fan curve on the FE BIOS is going very conservative, and allows for 80-83C under load before it attempts to turn up the fans. You'll have to change the fan curve if you want it cooler.
