Question RTX 2080 Temps Too High? Or Normal

[oneloudGPU]

Hello everyone, i recently bought a PC from a person, they got a RTX 2080 Windforce 8gb in it, and everytime i play games like (pubg , rust ETC) my fans go SUPER loud and my temps sit at around 81-82C...

is that too high of temps? i feel like hours on end gaming at 81c will ruin the card..

I dont know what to do


under ANY load ( even sitting in rust main menu ) my fans start going full speed super loud

What you're telling us is actually ok.
Is the card perhaps not getting fresh air, or hasn't been dusted in a bit?

Yes the PC does seem clean / dusted before i bought from him, everything works fine except this REALLY loud GPU blowing like insane and sitting constant at 81-82C while gaming..

im just worried that my long hour sessions of gaming ( 10+ ) could ruin the card

No, it'd would have to be little hotter than that to be a problem.
Do you know what the case is?
The fan set up? Probably easier to post some pictures of that one - PLEASE remove the side glass panel before doing so, it helps with clearer images, and avoiding certain reflections.
You have to use an image hosting site to post pics here, like imgur.com, postimages.org, imgbb.com, etc.

i just noticed how 2 fans are running while 1 isnt when im idle/ browsing internet


here i just recorded this too i was doing bench mark test during this... this is how loud it sounds

Looks like Cooler Master's Mastercase MC500? Airflow doesn't look like a issue here.

I see one of the gpu's fans isn't spinning. It may be dead.
If you set a custom 100% fan profile using Msi Afterburner, does it spin up? If not, you're looking at a replacement fan, which does mean you or someone else will have to disassemble the gpu to do that - just as a head's up. Gonna have to repaste it too.

yeah 2 fans spin 1 not when im just browing as i said, i also posted video with 3 fans spinning under load

Ah yes - Oops!

The gpu die is either in need of a repaste, or it's due to how close the shroud sits to the gpu's PCB:

Spoiler

Air may be having trouble getting out of the smaller gap, compared to the similar cooler on Gigabyte's 2080 Super Windforce below:

I don't think there's anything you can do about the shroud, but the repaste is an option.

hmm.. that sucks... maybe ill repaste then in the future.. but say a hours end gaming sessions 10-12+ will it kill the cpu? cause its running constant 81-82C when gaming

default settings, at the very bottom says target temp 83C?

if i lower target temp would that mean it would possibly hit target temp during heavy load? or am i getting this wrong haha

No, it's designed to handle more than that.

Sucks about the noise though, but you may be able to alleviate that a little with the use of power limits or undervolting.
A)Power limiting(easier).
Use Afterburner, unlink the power and temperature limits - chain link icon - then experiment with lower power limits like, 95, 90, 85%. Try to find a happy medium between performance/thermal/noise using them.
Don't forget to click apply and use the profile save function for quick access.

B)Undervolting(harder*, but definitely takes a little more time to do).
Afterburner again, but before that... go into its settings(general) and make sure Unlock voltage control and monitoring is checked. Click Apply. Don't close Afterburner, but open-detach the monitoring window. Make sure gpu clock and gpu voltage are viewable.
Run a game for a few minutes, or finish a round if you want. Take note of the recorded max gpu core clock and gpu voltage, then close the game.
Take the max gpu voltage and subtract 50mv* from it. If the max is 1050mv, then the new value is 1000mv.
[You might be able to go higher than 50mv, but this is where it's harder, because I've found that trying to test for stability beyond 50mv is nigh impossible, due to how Nvidia's Gpu Boost algorithm works.]
Enter Afterburner's Curve Editor, find the point on the Voltage/Frequency curve that matches the new value, and click on it.
With the Up key, raise the frequency back to the max gpu clock, but add 10mhz more. Then lock it in by pressing the L key.
Click apply, then save the profile for quick access. Remember to click reset on Afterburner when you're done playing.

this is lots of information that i will attempt to try, im very new to this never messed with oc / msi after burner and stuff but i will look up some videos

thank you very much for your help

You're welcome!

It'll throttle - drop clocks and voltage - to keep from going higher. The max of 88C is where it's going to shut off on you, BUT it has to sustain that or higher for a set amount of time. If it just spikes there, nothing will happen other than the usual throttling.
