Question RTX 2080TI - 90 Degrees!!!

[Martin Lomax]

Just purchased a used RTX 2080TI, which has a Alphacool already connected to it, placed it into my system, all connected fine, I just didn't put the rgb on as i don't have a rgb header on my mobo, and its running at 90 degrees, is their anyway i can find what is causing this and simply fixing it ASAP before it becomes a issue, this is on IDLE.

Two options, it's broken and hence why sold within months of release, or the aftermarket cooling is badly fitted/blocked, I'd go with no contact pressure if at that temp whilst idle.

Thanks, worked out the reason, im in need of reinstalling the stock cooler, but cant find snt guides on it =/ are you aware of any?

That's the problem with being leading edge, you're figuring it out from first principles, look for guides for earlier models, read more than a few of them, and then use intuition.
