My idle temp is 40C but it’ll ramp up to anywhere between 65C and 75C when playing a game at 4K that’s really pushing the card.

That's just unnecessary. +50 should be doable on stock voltage.

It now for the past 4 years idles at 27-28c and under 100% load never surpasses 45c. I was scared as hell to void my warrenty and DIY water cool it but hands down it was the absolute BEST decision I ever made well worth it.

    The Kraken x62's fan curve can be adjusted to the GPU's temperature with cam (nzxt's software).
    You can also use a thermal sensor (pasted to the gpu) and adjust the AIO fan curve to the thermal sensor in the bios (a lot of mother board support 2 pin thermal sensor).

      I know this is a late answer, perhaps it will still be of use to you. I put a Thermaltake Water 240mm AIO on a Radeon VII. To do so I had to drill my own holes in the AIO's S2066 bracket. I have the fans controlled by BIOS in the "medium" settting, they are not very audible. The VII runs Caffe or Tensorflow under ROCm/Linux at 1801 MHz flat out, stock settings, and the edge temp never exceeds 55C. Under Windows I have overclocked it to 2GHz GPU and 1100 MHz HBM2 with 5% over power limit, I suspect it can go further but I don't have any games that really need the boost so I have not pushed it harder.

      ​@@tommyboy5924 ok angery snowflake, instead of going like kiddo or shit like that, first, waterblock-gpu's exist. like aorus waterforce extreme. opening a pre waterblocked gpu is complely useless considering changing the thermalpaste on gpu's dont make much sense, even liquid metal cant make a difference more than a degree. if you wanna use the word intended, you can use it for the aorus card, not this. Infact, I know lots of people who just went with a ventus 2080 Ti / armour 1080 ti just because it was the cheapest. now you can fuck off, imagine getting pissed about this. say hi to your mother for mr if you decide get the fuck out of the basement, asshole.

    Hey, I was thinking about this for the last day and I came to a conclusion. In a gpu the hottest part is the cores, so if water cooled the temperatures will be fresher. the other components will be passive cooled and cooled by that little fan on the right. What I see people don't seem to get and my conclusion is that when you have the entire gpu making contact with the heat spreader in the usual cooling system graphics cards are when we buy them, all of them kind of share the heat produced by each component, while when they are all open they are not sharing so much heat from the cores and all the other components that where in indirect touch before. The heat in the case environment may get higher, which won't, but each component will stop being affected by the cores heat making them much fresher. So basically having this system is very good since all the heat from the gpu is being totally dissipated through the water cooler system and the other components will be fresher and passively cooling by the air flow in the case, which, obviously, depends on how good air flow you create in your case. If all the components are using the same platform to dissipate heat the temperature will always try to distribute heat among all of them until they get an average heat.

    • @vanillagerrilla
      @vanillagerrilla 2 года назад

      You can offset that by getting varying sizes of small heat sinks to contact the NZXT. Wont be as good for the memory as the original spreader but does the job quite well. Just use a ton of probes lol

    I'm currently using a EVGA 1080ti hybrid card... And I can say from my experience a 120mm fan radiator combos the sweet spot for sound and adequate cooling performance. But, I really feel that there should be better cooling capabilities added to these hybrid cards in regards to the memory and VRM. I wish they would add vapor cooling chambers with a radiator for the fan to cool them with direct contact.

      Eric Fan He can use that cooler later though. I have a sub zero phase compressor cooling my FX (core temps under load at 1.7 Vcore are somewhere below 0c, it won’t show lower. Evan temp max is -35c and sits at -60f isle). However, that cooler will live a long happy life murdering components for years to come. I should probably put that on my Titan Xp, but I personally think Nvidia single GPUs are dog$hit and not worth wasting my time with, so I’ll just fry that worthless GPU on liquid nitrogen for wasting my time**
      **Nvidia drivers are crap, like seriously crap... my 4x crossfire in my main system is much more reliable than any Pascal I’ve tested, and Nvidia isn’t even that fast anymore since they limit you to 2x GPU anyways, so I guess they don’t like money from potential sales of 4x Titan RTX... Oh well, probably not worth it considering how bad the drivers usually are... I even tried it on Linux, and installing the graphics drivers corrupted the OS... like how the hell do you corrupt a server OS from a graphics driver?!? Radeon is always the obvious choice for Linux, but my goodness I didn’t think it would be that bad! That’s even worse than it just crashing every 30 minutes at stock in Windows 10 for the first 6 months I owned it until they fixed the drivers for the Titan series... by then I already had given up on it and went back to my old 2x crossfire setup, and later upgraded to 4x (which is mind blowing good! 100 fps in Crysis 3 at 4k Ultra is unbelievably impressive until you actually play it, it’s insanely awesome, I’m so happy with my quad GPU setup!)

      He just showed that the 120mm aio performed just as well as the FE if not better when testing applications like Project Cars 2 (as shown in the video) and it was a whopping 10 decibels quieter than the FE as opposed to the 240mm aio which was a 3 decibel reduction in sound at stock (but much better cooling). The 120mm aio is simply a better option if you are solely considering sound output and still want to maintain that performance the FE gave.
