1080 Ti Unveiled

Yeah 1080Ti's , if you are lucky, will go over 2076-2100Mhz without going crazy over the powerlimit. General range however is about 2000-2050Mhz.
Im running my PL modded EVGA FE using XOC BIOS @ 2164Mhz @ 1.2V as 24/7 clocks.
Im on a custom loop so the temps dont cross 50C.

However for someone who doesnt really doesnt want to go water cooling, the best bet is to get the cheaper SC2/Strix (normal) etc and run those on air.

 

I'm ready for summer.

 

First location reserved in my new house was the coldest corner for the basement for my battlestation. I'm ready.

 

That's brave to run @1.2V as 24/7 clocks isn't it, even with temps less than 50 degC? Do you think degredation over time would be a factor like that? I think it's often said that voltage plays the largest part in degredation factors with temperature being a secondary & contributing factor.

 

Ha, just gotta sit your laptop on that bad boy, as per Mr Fox's & others inclinations!

 

I haven't really seen any cards dying like that. Mostly for games though i have clocks capped at 2050Mhz @ 1.0

 

That idea terrifies me to be honest.

 

Gotta use this unique cooler -

If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

 

I think it works xD
When i was taping that together, i was like this is a stupid idea. Now how can i make this a retarded idea?

 

Even more fans?

 

Nope. Sitting on top of the AC, using that unique Cooler.

 

Cut out in the box for dry ice, maybe?

 

I have actually tried that with the DM1, and its pretty effective for short benches. But condensation builds up super fast.

 

Remember the degradation of Liquid metal when the temp goes down to 8C and below How low can you push temp?

 

Duuude now that you mention that, it actually has happened on the Dm3 as well with Conductonaut. My temps have gone up considerably during normal use. Good chance stuff has oxidized.

 

I have posted info... Of the test of my 3 year old Liquid Ultra.

 

Well that's good, hopefully it will stay that way too!

Haha, nice one!

EVGA GTX 1080Ti Kingpin Edition! Let's interview Kingpin himself!

 

You beat me to it, in the article it says EVGA will guarantee a 2025 OC, it will be interesting to see the price and what average GPU clocks this thing will game at.

Yesterday I discovered that MSI AB will monitor the ICX temp sensors, it also allowed me to mess with the core voltage, so I slid it to %100 and bumped up my OC and was able to run without crashing. Before I fry something, whats a safe voltage? it was pegged to 1.070.

Here is a link the Beta.

http://office.guru3d.com/afterburner/MSIAfterburnerSetup440Beta10.rar

 

Using Firestorm, which is the overclocking & fan control program that comes with my Zotac GPU, if I run the voltage slider at 100% I get a maximum of 1.09V, so it looks like Zotac are pretty comfortable with that max voltage. I run 50% voltage increase for a max voltage of 1.08V at 2088Mhz. On my GTX 1070 of course.

 

That's what I have found too, I'm still testing it out.

 

I'm sure it will be fine increasing the voltage, some people have run their NVidia cards with 1.2V with custom vBIOS and water cooling, just make sure you can keep the card cool, I guess you want the GPU in the 60's & 70's if you can manage it.

 

I recall that being a problem with an active refrigeration build a while back, was it limited to the exterior or did you have condensate inside the system?

 

I was unable to get BF1 to play with the voltage at 100 or 50, I put it to zero and the game ran fine. I can't get firestrike to run on any OC, after reading an old thread AB had cause problems in the past so maybe the beta version is causing the issue. I'll try without it.

 

Its not as fast inside the system, since i had fans blowing into it to redirect the vapor, but places like the wrist rest / heatsink sections that were isolated would have condensate build up pretty fast. One can always de humidify the room as well, but i didnt have this portable AC back then.

 

Well Firestrike Graphics Test 1 I've found to be the most sensitive in rooting out unstable core overclocks for Pascal GPUs. Timespy is most sensitive for rooting out unstable VRAM overclocks. This is what I learned as a clear pattern during my many hours of trying to increase/optimise the OC on my GPU. Also, adding voltage will allow the GPU to boost to a higher clock, even if you have the core frequency offset the same - it allows for a higher boost clock for any given temperature. I gained 12.5Mhz boost just on increasing the voltage to 50% for a previously stable 0% added voltage overclock. The extra 50% voltage also let me increase the core clock offset, but only by one notch - 12.5Mhz. The combination of increasing voltage to 50% with the increased core offset clock of 12.5Mhz therefore actually gave me an additional 25Mhz of boost for any given temperature.

 

That's getting a little beyond how much I'm willing to set up, I will stick with more fans for the moment.

 

I shut down AB and was able to get Fire Strike to run. Now I'll try %25 in BF1 and see what happens.

 

Play about with GPU fan profiles too, because you'll get higher boosts if you keep the GPU cold enough - the vBIOS controlled fan profile on my card is quite conservative at default and is afraid of making noise! Instead of allowing the vBIOS to control my fans I'm using the default fan curve that came with the Zotac Firestorm overclocking program, it adds 10% fan speed for every 10 degC increase in temperatures, so 10% fan speed for up to 10degC, 60% fan speed for between 50-60 degC, 70% fan speed for 60-70 degC, etc, etc - that was a really good compromise between temperature & noise.

 

I have had zero luck with the voltage slider with BF1, I'm back to my %120/85C/+35/+442. It's not a lotto winner but it make BF1 unbelievably smooth at 139 FPS.

There is a beta version of HWinfo that allows for ICX sensors, I was notified of the beta this morning but could not get to it. Every link I tried led to the latest non beta version. A guy on EVGA linked to it and it works, if you have the FTW3 you get the addition temperature sensors plus the three fans, I'm only getting the additional temperature sensors.

MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Lightning Z

 

More reason for me to switch to desktop PC. I've been disappointed by the laptops lately.

 

Yeah, we need AMD more and more in laptops. Instead of pushing out more power for people aka 1080Ti, Nvidia and the ODM's milking more with power gimped 1080 Max-Q. They could instead innovate and make more powerful Ti models!!

 

They should just have given them an entirely different name and called it good. Now we have to explain the differences to confused people who assume performance based on number only.

 

New version of PXOC, there a few welcome tweaks to the OSD but for some reason they don't seem to stick in BF1, I can get them to work in Heaven Benchmark however.

Zotac 1080 Ti AMP Extreme Review: Bigger, Not Better

 

My Zotac GTX 1070 Amp Edition has the same type of backplate & VRM heatsink design - makes me wonder what my VRM temps are! I have already modded the back plate though by removing the plastic covering & then placing thermal pads between itself and the VRAM and that of the GPU package - so the backplate does contribute to the cooling, but I didn't do the same for the VRM area of the backplate, but I am also thinking that my VRM temperatures are likely to be lower as the max power usage is about 230W, but typically only 130 - 170W when gaming.

One of my favorite TI models, but he's right, that's a damn expensive card comparatively.

 

My New Favourite Graphics Card, Aorus WaterForce 1080ti

 

If I didn't already have a 1080 Ti, I wouldn't mind getting this one instead. But for now I'll be happy. mine runs at 1974MHz and <75C air cooled.

 

Considering how well my Corsair/MSI AIO has treated me I'd probably be sticking with them for a 1080ti upgrade, but this one would be the one that edges it out.

 

Yay my Gigabyte 1080 TI Aorus Extreme arrived in the mail!

Nay, my Acer XB270HU broke the day before! What timing!

Now I'm looking at a very pretty card but can play NO games on it... Gotta wait for my monitor to come back from Acer
