Hi all, I got my asus strix 1080 last night and swapped it for my strix 980ti and fired up overwatch. After about 10 minutes of playing with everything maxed on my 1440p monitor, I noticed that the temperature in HWMonitor was hovering around 80-82c. This is about 10c higher than what I was getting with my 980ti but were using the default profiles and nothing about the case fan configuration is changed. Am I just being paranoid or could there be something wrong with the card. Most of the reviews for the card I looked at said that the card never got higher than 68c during benchmarking. Any advice would be appreciated.

80 - 82 C is just fine. Unfortunately, many popular review sites use an open test bench which seems to allow the GPUs to operate at a significantly lower temperature. I remember back in the day Guru3D reviewed the MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme and reported high 50's to low/mid 60's during heavy gaming; I put it in my case and it operates at mid/high 70s during heaving gaming.

I created a custom fan curve using MSI afterburner and was able to keep the card at around 70c while playing overwatch, the fan had to stay around 80% to keep the temperatures. So i guess this would be a solution to the temperature problem, I guess I just expected the card to be cooler than my 980ti.

I contacted Asus and the tech said basically the same thing and that the card is designed to work at those temperatures and to only be concerned if it is going over 100 C. Thank you for calming my fears that I got a dud.
