Question Msi 1080ti armor

[Tomchew]

Looking for anyone with some experience with this card, I got it fairly inexpensive and far as 1080tis go. But then I realized there's alot of bad reviews on them overheating, so what's too high of a temp, and do people mean they are overheating after OC which I'm not planning to do? I only have a antrc900 case atm with 1 front fan 1 side fan for intake, 2 top for exhaust one is a 200mm will this be enough?

Max you'll really want to see is 80-85C.

I would install the GPU and use it with how your computer sits now.

Monitor temps with MSI Afterburner and you may have to make a custom fan curve to keep things cool.

Obviously, it's almost impossible for us to predict how the card will behave with your case and specific environment (ambient temps, etc.).

What could I improve other then putting an extra fan in the front?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Hard to predict - an extra front intake would always be welcome.

You can also make sure your cable management good to make airflow as clean as possible.

Like I said it would be best to use the card first and see where you stand.

Well so far just from playing warframe it hits 56 but that's only at 1080 60hz max, and I was hoping to get a 1440 144hz monitor e eventually, not sure if that's bad or good only have time to play so many games in a day lol

That's a good temp. Bumping up to a 2K/144hz monitor (and associated graphics settings) will not increase temperatures that much (definitely not to dangerous levels).
