Hello,
I recently build a new rig with the purpose of doing some hardcore gaming on it. As I was doing some benchmarking I realized that the temperature on my NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPU continues to go up into dangerous territory. The most I've let it gone up to has been 95° Celsius before freaking out and quitting the game in a haste. I am worried because I have read that the most it should go up to under load should be 85° Celsius.
I will note that I did not notice the performance of the card go down while stress testing it on Ultra using Arma 3 and Tomb Raider (the first game not the recently released one). I also did a stress test using a benchmarking tool called Benchmark Valley and the same thing happened, the temperature kept going up without any signs of stopping. Note: I haven't overclocked my card.
When idle my card runs at a steady 38° Celsius and the hottest CPU core is 25° Celsius on idle.
I installed a water cooling system using components from XSPC. The water flow for the cooling system loops in the in the following order. It starts in the D5 Photon 170 Reservoir/Pump Combo. Then goes to the RX240 Dual Fan Radiator V3. Then to the CPU waterblock a RayStorm CPU (Intel) V3, it continues on to the GPU waterblock a Razor GTX 1080 with backplate, and finally, it goes through the RAM memory waterblock.
So I guess this brings us to my question(s). How do I stop the temperatures from going so high while still running at maximum capacity? Is there a way to cap the temperature of the GPU? In other words is there a way I can determine at what point I would like my card to lower some of its performance in order for it to keep a steady safe temperature? What is the best course of action in my case?
Your help is much appreciated.
Here is a reading of the temperature I got after testing.
Value: 44°C Min: 38°C Max: 91°C
