Re: Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

I have 3 1080ti's on one board

Running into an unusual heat from my first card.. it hits 75/85 where the other 2 are holding around 60..

Running at 70 tdp with 70% fan speed.. been stable for a while now. It's hot in the basement, but temps were stable until now..

Need to get some risers.. I used to have some, cant figire out where they went.

I had a similar issue with my 3 card setup some fans sorted it. It was the card that had the most space that was the hottest. It was almost near the CPU though. The squashed card was the coolest as it had the hotest card sucking heat off it and going onto itself.

Yes you will want risers.

My cards were not blower style and I couldn't get the hotest card above 70% tpd or it would go oever 70C.

I think your right. Recommendation on where to get a powered riser? I have (2) of the old school ribbon ones.. can I use those?

I bought mine on ali express. But they take 20 days to get here. Make sure you get the 4 capacitor ones that also have the two chips that regulate voltage/spikes. You also want the 6 pin plug on the riser so you can power them directly from the PSU as the cable that comes with them is not really useable for cards like 1080ti or similar.

I got ones like this. See the two little chips by the 4th capacitor one yellow one black. I dunno about the ribbon ones sorry. That one is out of stock but you can find ones like that easily.

If you are in the US there is other options.
