Aurora R11, RTX 2080 Super, 83-84 degrees

Hello,

So I recently discovered that my RTX 2080 Super is reaching around 83-84 degrees on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Is this normal and ok for my computer?

System specifications =
10th Gen intel i9-10900k (10 core 20mb cache 3.7GHz-5.3GHz with thermal velocity boost)
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB GDDR6 (OC ready)
16GB dual channel HyperX Fury DDR4 XMP at 3200MHz
1TB M.2 PCle NMVe SSD
Lunar chassis with high performance liquid cooling and 1000W PSU

I’m not sure if the fans running 100% and I also don’t have msi afterburner but I’ll install and put the fans on Max and hopefully it’ll make a difference

Those temps might be a little bit high...are your fans running close 100% when you are getting those temps?

For comparison...

I have a R9 with i9 9900KS @4.00Ghz to 5.01Ghz max  Liquid cooled

2 RTX 2080 Supers in SLI

64 GBs Crucial Ballistix at XMP-3200

2 TB M.2 PCle NMVe SSD

2 TB Samsung 2.5 inch SSD

1500 Watt power supply from be quiet.

BIOS over clocks the CPU, MSI Afterburner over clocks the 2 2080 Supers and ups the fan speed to 100% when it deems necessary.  Sounds like 2 hair dryers on full blast...

When playing Doom Eternal (and Doom 2016) at maximum settings on a 3440 x 1440 monitor...

Max settings by Afterburner--GPU Clock  1905   Mem   1938   Temperature  75 C  Fan 96%

CPU Temperature 60 C

Hope this helps!

so I have no idea how to use this or what these settings should be at. Can I get some help? @Doghouse Reilly

Great!

From reading post on this site, I gathered that enough folks complained about the fan noise that Dell/Alienware/Nvidia turned down the fan speeds and let the temps go up, but still within thermal specifications for their chips.

Now, folks are concerned about the maxed out temps and busy replacing fans in an effort to have less noise and lower temps. 

I'm not sure you can really have both?

But you can try!

Jump down to ---   NVIDIA Auto Overclocking with MSI Afterburner-- on this link...

https://www.techquila.co.in/how-to-auto-overclock-nvidia-amd-gpu-msi-afterburner-radeon-guide/ 

Let the Afterburner automatically test and set your card, its the easiest and safest way to OC Nvidia cards.

Takes about 1/2 hour, just follow the instructions on the web link and let the program do the work.

Feel free to view other guides, this is the one I used.

It takes about 15-20 minutes for pictures to come up on this site...I don't know why, it's just how it works...

so without seeing the results, I have enough faith in the Afterburner to say save that result, and try playing COD.

90 percent is the best I have ever gotten, that may be the maximum.

I predict you will hear the fan in your RTX 2080 Super run a little (lot?) louder, but your GPU temps will be down.

That's perfect...mine is a little higher at 75 C because I have two RTX 2080s so there is less room for air flow.

Glad this worked out, enjoy your COD/MW.

Just for information--my understanding is that MSI Afterburner uses a algorithm developed by Nvidia to over clock their cards when you use the automatic process.  They don't want to burn up their own cards, so the maximum values are not as high as some over clockers may use when setting adjustments manually themselves, but I haven't burned out a card yet and I will give up a little performance in exchange for reliability and stability.

OK, picture came through, looks good, remember to save profile.

Before playing game, turn on Afterburner and activate that saved profile.

Best of luck!
