The water-cooled graphics card is running at an overclocking level that is excessively high.
The water-cooled graphics card is running at an overclocking level that is excessively high.
I recently installed a Zotac AMP Edition 1080 Ti with watercooling using the Kraken G12 and H55 AIO. The temperatures stay around 47-50 degrees Celsius. I haven’t overclocked yet, but because of the low temps, my card suddenly jumps to 1900 to 1999 MHz and then crashes games after a short time. I’m trying to find a way to control this issue but haven’t found a solution yet.
your GPU will perform better than the specifications suggest, provided thermal limits are met, such as with GPU boost 2.0 or 3.0. It enables peak performance beyond manual overclocking, though it’s not something you can fully control—it’s built to handle that. Regarding system details, I’m not sure about the crashing issue. Could you provide the system specifications? Also, are you monitoring CPU temperatures and is this your first build?
Have you added heatsinks to VRM's? No, but it seems unnecessary with the kraken g12. Jayztwocents reviewed it and reported lower temperatures compared to air cooling with VRM heatsinks. I mistakenly didn't adjust the core clock knob to the left; now I can set the speed freely (around 1920 MHz on the core and 5858 MHz on memory). Still unsure why it exceeds the boost clock, but it functions properly.
It shouldn't crash if the GPU supports an OC of 2000MHz. Aim to adjust the power limit without affecting the core or memory clock speed.
your GPU will perform better than the specifications suggest, provided thermal limits permit its called GPU boost 2.0 or 3.0. It enables you to achieve peak performance beyond any manual overclocking. This feature is largely beyond your direct control since it's built to handle that. Regarding system requirements, it's unclear if you're using a new build. Also, are the CPU temperatures within normal ranges and does this device come pre-assembled?
