[SOLVED] RTX 2080 TI Overheat

[deadlytivo]

Hi,

First off, I will get my build out of the way :

-RTX 2080 ti (Windforce OC)
-i7 8700k
-z390 Aorus Ultra
-G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 2X8GB DDR4 3200MHz
-Supernova G2 750w
-Corsair C275r
-Samsung 850 Evo 500gb
-WD Blue1tb

This is a new build that was purchased a few months ago. Right away, I experienced overheating issues on the GPU, where it would get to 80 celcius + with MSI custom fan speed at 100, and 111% power limit (no enhancement on core / memory clock slider). If I do even a +50 MHz clock, it'll often reach the 88 degree threshold.

It was winter here in Australia the past few months and I managed to tolerate it, but now that it is approaching summer, the card has managed to reach temperatures of 86 celcius with just a ~ 30 degree ambient temperature. Now, based on what I've seen from other users, it should be high, but not enough to nearly throttle itself.

I have installed new drivers, updated bios, and even configured fans. It is a new PC, and the other components perform rather well. The CPU has been overclocked to 5 GHz and its temperatures don't exceed 70 degrees ever under load. I have also attempted to open the side panel to see what affect this would have, but it is a differential of ~ 5 degrees, which I guess is what you would expect from a case with decent airflow.

Do I simply RMA this card? Or is there some DIY approach I can take?

Appreciate any input.



Thanks,

try limiting power usage to 100%.

try limiting power usage to 100%.

If it's for diagnostic purposes, I'm okay with that. But to settle for less than stock performance defeats the purpose of purchasing this card.

yes, you're right. but since it's a really powerful card, limiting the power usage to 100% would still be better than a 2070.

Update : reached 88 degrees with 30 ambient in under 1 hour of gaming at 100 fan speed and 110% power (no clock slider used). It's downclocking itself to around 1700mhz to sustain.

As this seems to be an issue from the beginning I would look to RMA as those temps are well above standard (See link below). Maybe the cooler was never on properly from the factory and thus the discrepancy in temps. Ether way you might want to take the cooler of and reapply thermal paste or RMA.

I guess I will try to reapply the thermal paste before RMA'ing it. From my understanding, it doesn't void the warranty.

Edit : Gigabyte apparently voids warranties when thermal paste is replaced. Guess I'll just rma it.

Thanks,

Just to note this is a common problem with the rtx they they will overheat and melt themselves so if you see pixels your screen its probably not your monitor its the the need to be like super cooled because they like to melt themselves.
