@Lurch-Bot7 ай бұрын
Some longer screws with a lock washer sandwiched between a couple of thin regular washers would do the trick of maintaining pressure. These screws are bottoming out and generating no pressure. I've seen GPUs without a pressure plate, just springs on the screws.

I used to have that EXACT motherboard with a i7-6800k. Worked great until it kept throwing code 00 and eventually just wouldn't boot, tons of information about that specific model having issues. Paid only $100 for the pair though so I couldn't complain, served me well for 1-2 years.

@mapesdhs5977 ай бұрын
A minor note about the 6800K, it only has 28 PCIe lanes. This doesn't matter in your case, for just a standard setup with the usual CPU, single GPU and system SSD, but on some X99 mbds, depending on the intended task (especially for more involved storage setups, or adding a PCIe audio card, etc.), it may have implications for socket/port functionality. Thus, if you come across an appealing X99 bundle/system and are not sure, always check the manufacturer owners manual which should have a mbd diagram with a description of which slots/ports are disabled or speed-restricted if using a 28-lane CPU, but again it shouldn't matter if just putting together a standard setup for gaming or somesuch. Alternatively, if you have the choice and the cost premium is small, get the 40-lane i7 6850K instead, which does have the minor advantage of having 200MHz higher base and turbo frequencies and often can oc to a decent 4.4GHz. I got lucky when I needed a replacement 6850K; where I am (Scotland) the store CEX had them for a good price, a good bit cheaper than ebay.

Maybe the heat on the 2080Ti might be due to the conformal coating that was on the card as it was previously water cooled? I saw that the GPU die seemed to have the conformal coating on it, so that might be worth looking at.
@techyescity7 ай бұрын
I don't think so, I have dealt with a few 2080 tis and they are quite the power hungry, hot running cards. The cooler in this case is bottom of the barrel for this line up. Just too much heat for a small cooler of this size. So taming it is the only option. Also I should have mentioned the initial onset of temperatures was quite low, which indicates good contact.

To be honest, $1200 for an X99 PC with a 2080ti is very rich. There are people selling more current Ryzen 5/7 system with 3060ti or better for $1200 or less depending on the setup. 2 Years ago i bought my son a water cooled Ryzen 5 5600X system with a really good 750 watt PSU, 16GB ram, super fast 500GB NVME drive, Wifi, fancy RGB case and fans, and Bluetooth, for only $1250. This was 2 years ago. I still have an X58 system as my main gaming rig and always wanted to upgrade to an X99 but probably never will as you get so much more performance from later Ryzen and Intel systems for the same price as the X99.

I used to have a Zotac 2080 Super with the twin fan cooler and it does run pretty hot at stock settings. I was able to get decent temps with an undervolt but you are probably getting about as good of temps as you can get with the 2080 Ti.
@nanoluciani7 ай бұрын
Bryan, as 2 other people mentioned... The issue with the high temps of the 2080 Ti is because you omitted (or it didn't come with) either the retention bracket or the spring loaded screws, both of which would increase the mounting pressure compared to a regular screw. No matter how much you tune the card in Afterburner, temps will eventually creep up. Great videos, mate! 🍻 Loving this series, so far
@techyescity7 ай бұрын
Will monitor it over time and see if it does get worse, though the initial onset of temperatures tells a very big part of the story. In this case the initial onset was quite low. So I just think it's a real lackluster cooler on a power hungry card.
