I bought this card thinking iam paying for quality product with efficient cooling and performance. I was wrong. Since i bought it 7 months temps werent as good as advertised at all. During some games like newest Hitman temp canreach over 77c(!!!!). When poweruse breaks 70%(not gpu usage, but power usage) gpu always go above 70c instantly. When poerusage is around 80-90% it goes to 77c almost instantly. I dont even wanna know whats gonna happen when power usage reach 100% in some game. On iddle its basicly over 45c, sometimes 51(!!!) Other than that oc boost is very weak, only 1911mhz and when try to overclock it to 2000mhz it shows artifacts. If this wasnt enough this card sag like crazy. My case is huge and well cooled with 2 140mm fans and ambient temp is around 15c.

Never EVER again gonna buy any of those overpriced products. Why the hell i payd like 20-30% more over founders edition while founders edition have same temps around 75c, lol. What a waste of money this "high end gear".

My EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SC (single fan w/ aluminum/copper heatsink) stays pretty much at 68C on a custom fan curve with fan speed at around 55%. It's been running like that for 24/7 for about 2 weeks now. But on the stock fan settings it will reach 77C fairly easy.

Able or not, 80c is a lot, considering it's relatively energy efficient (120W 1x6pin) card in well cooled case. My 2x8 pin 150W gtx970 is reaching same temps on load, while idling at around 32c. I'd be concerned too.

76c on overwatch in menus with 77% power use. Muhahaha. What a crappy, overpriced, hige brick of a card. What a money waste. This card is huge and heavy like sack of potatoes and have same temps like mini evga gtx 1060 that is 1/3 of its size, has one fan and SAME TEMPS at 2100MHz and is 30-40% cheaper. Never, ever again gonna buy anything from this overpriced, poor quality products company. I should go with gigabyte 1060... it was cheaper, smaller and would have like 10c less of temp(previously had HD 5870 windforce from gigabyte, it was quiet and never went over 66c).

Their support says that anything under 90c is fine and little sag on card is also fine, lol. i even read that they suggest to change thermal paste for some 1080ti users on their forums that reach nearly 90c on it with 100% fan curve.

what a money waste... .
