haha my bad bro

the item arrived and i installed it..somewhat.
forgot the pump bracket - so i cable tie it first.

the temperature is high, not what i've expected.

maybe

-i put the 360mm radiator bottom,3 fans blow out - i can switch those to intake.
-no intake fans (for now) i can install 3 fan at the side to be intake.
- i f-ed up the thermal pads / paste on the GPU block.

image below after one round of PUBG


GPU


Reservoir + Pump

Your temperature is indeed high
My 2080 Ti only runs at 48°C max on full load. And that's without airconditioner
If I turn on the airconditioner, it can go to as low as 38°C on full load while gaming. Airconditioner set to run at 16°C LOL

I think there are 2 possibilities that might cause your issue
1. Yes, you definitely screwed up the fan installation, you can't have all fans inside the case to be exhaust only. You need intake fans too. You don't have to install extra 3 fans on the side, just convert the bottom fans to intake fans
2. Yeah, you probably screwed up the thermal paste application, but it's quite easy to identify this. Since you're using soft tube, just unscrew the waterblock then see if the thermal paste spread evenly on the GPU die

By the way, what coolant are you using in that loop? I hope you're not using car coolant. That stuff will screw up your liquid cooling system

ok i will flush the coolant and see 1 and 2
im using the 150ml bykski fury green color. now left 50ml idk what to do with it

No need to flush the coolant lah, you're using soft tubing, just unplug the GPU and carefully remove the wateblock without unplugging any tubes
Even rotating the fans won't require any draining

Kalau hard tube mmg die-die no choice but to drain the system first LOL

Wtf...u r right

I ady flush them lmao.still can recycle the coolant right haha.heres the image

One of the vram has a different thermal pad, but same2 thickness.

Too add, i use the x method.

Hmm, the GPU thermal paste spreads fine
So it's definitely the fans layout then
Just remember to apply a new layer of themal paste

Owh and by the way, try to tilt your case left, right, front and back to make all the bubbles inside the radiator & the waterblock go into the reservoir. Make sure to run the pump at full sppeed while you do the tilting
Bubbles can also slightly raise the temperature but shouldnt be that high

My 2080 Ti should run hotter than your 2080 so something is definitely not right

Need to reapply thermal paste? Oh no i just got a very little leftover...

I will run the pump at full speed..using jumper clip

It's always advisable to reapply a new layer of themal paste after removing the waterblock, same thing for aircooling heatsink as well

hmmm..the thermal issue still persist..



i give up laa

Well, it's cooler than before, but not good enough
The other stuff that I can think off that may cause your RTX 2080 to run hotter than my 2080 Ti are:
1. The coolant
2. The fan
3. The thermal paste
4. Fan filter

The coolant:
The Bykski coolant is probably not good enough in absorbing the heat from the waterblock and transferring it to the radiator
Hence why I only stick with EKWB CryoFuel coolant
Had bad experience with Corsair HL5 & Thermaltake C1000
Both of them cause the loop to turn muddy in less than a month
Had to try them out because EKWB CryoFuel was out of stock and there's only 1 seller in Malaysia who sells them at reasonable price
Waited for several months for the EKWB CryoFuel to be restocked during the MCO era hence why I decided to try those 2 coolants
Oh and I only use the clear transparent coolant, no colors

The fan:
In the market there are 2 types of fan. Airflow fan & Static Pressure fans
Airflow fans are to get air to move in and out of the case without any heatsink/radiator behind or in front of the fans
Static Pressure fans are made to be used on radiator & heatsink
I'm using Arctic P12 PWM PST CO. It's one of the cheapest high static pressure fan with dual ball bearings
What fan are you using?

The thermal paste:
The best thermal paste are the ones with high conductivity
Currently I'm using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

Fan filter
Are you using the top fan filter on the top of your O11? If yes, just remove it
You only need to use fan filter on intake, not exhaust

1. Coolant - i will take a look at the cryofuel. For now maybe my water to coolant ratio is out..maybe..
2. For the 360mm radiator intake, 3x cryorig QF120. I missed out this static pressure thingy.
3. Am using Arctic MX-2 thermal paste.
4. Oh yea la.shall remove it later. Intake, there is no dust filter for now.

Just switch to EKWB CryoFuel. The premix 1L is already pre-mixed for you, no need to campur campur anymore
Shopee Link: https://shopee.com.my/product/59277182/1886522714
That's the only seller in Malaysia that sells EKWB CryoFuel Premix at a reasonable price
Remember to flush the whole system with lots and lots of distilled water before refilling the system with new coolant
QF120 is an airflow fan, not a static pressure fan
Airflow fan is only good to blow in & out of the case, it's not strong enough to blow air through dense fins in radiators / heatsinks

If you're going to buy the Arctic P12, I'd suggest you buy directly from Taobao
Their price is the cheapest on the
How old is your MX-2? I mean when did you buy it? IINM, thermal paste has a shelf-life. Even when it sits in the tube unused, it will still lose some of it's integrity. Even more if you leave the tube in direct sunlight
You can re-install the intake filter, that's very important to block dust from coming into the case
You need to remove the exhaust filter. Case exhaust filter is really unnecessary

OK. Dotatech is near my house. i can just buy directly.



OK.



i got the QF120 Performance. i thought this was a static pressure fan..oh noes.



Reliable? i have not bought anything from Taobao yet..only lazada/shopee..



bought it on 17/03/2021.



OK noted..

the cheapest Arctic P12 PWM PST i found on shopee is RM40/piece.

however i found this too

# TECWARE Omni Fans Series - [P12/P14] High Static Pressure ARGB Fans Pack # [BLACK/WHITE] RM78 per 3-piece pack
1.88H20

Arctic P12 is 2.2H20

It's up to you bro whichever fans you decide. I'm just telling you what I know
For me, I'll stick with whichever has the highest static pressure at the lowest speed & at the lowest price

P12 is known in YouTube as one of the best competitor to Noctua NF-A12 but at a 1/4 of the price
There are tons of YouTubers recommending it

Look it up in YouTube

just want to check.
the screw mounting for the GPU Block, theres two type. one with the spring tension, another one is slim half thread.
i used all the screw with spring tension. am i wrong?

No

i go viewnet lowyat later buy 3x arctic p12..ok la RM36 PWM.

theres PWM PST, PWM PST CO..lol
i think PWM enough

How much are they selling the CO?
