the title of this video might seem a little bit clique baby but it's a legitimate question can your graphics card do this cooler masters master key Pro series of keyboards offer sixteen point seven million color RGB genuine cherry switches a variety of sizes as well as surface mounted controls allowing full customization without the need for stand-alone software learn more by following the links down below obviously I am talking about the asu's GT X 1080 Ti Poseidon this is a card you guys have asked me to do a review on I've actually had it in the office now for a couple of weeks and I decide to wait for the hole water cooling you know summertime videos that I like to do before we actually decided to go ahead and dive into this now that's no pun intended but we are diving into this we're going to test this in a few different ways we're going to see how it performs on air we're going to tale performs on water and of course we're going to check out some overclocking and see if we gain any sort of Headroom on air or water when it comes to overclocking or for kind of hard cap yet some of the other limitations that exist on the GPUs before we ever reach any sort of thermal limit right here on the box they're pretty forthcoming with what you could expect they're only showing a five seed drop over founders and that probably seems a little bit disappointing if you're to buy a card like this and expect to just stick it on in your PC let the fans do their job and expect it to be cooler than the well seventy eight fee that they are showing right here that's that's probably nothing to really brag about now if you put it on water they're saying you could expect a thirty C drop in temperatures over the founder's card for the temperature sitting right around 53 again not as cool as some of them even the hybrid cards that we've seen that stayed deep into the 40s with a dedicated water block but obviously none of those cards can do with this one can which allows you the flexibility of deciding whether or not you want water or you want air question is though if you're going to stick with one or the other are you really kind of doing yourself a disservice let's go through the review and find out okay so we've had this running now for a while looks like we're hitting about 75 see imbalances anywhere between 73 to 75 and that makes sense consuming we're in an open air test bench so you put this in a case you might rise a couple of degrees and see these 78 that it's talking about our max temperatures it says 75 just like I said we actually did reach a core clock 12 2012 so that's not too bad but we were running once temperatures reached up to the 75 C we stayed at a very consistent nineteen hundred and seventy-four that's actually not bad remember we are in the OSI mode though go to overclocking let's see what we can max out on air I've had quite a few 1080 T eyes come through the studio so far and I've got some more waiting to be reviewed and more on the way but if there's something I've learned while watching other people's reviews and yeah I'm a nerd out over the stuff and I like to see what other people are saying as well as I can tell you that most of them will hit about 20 20 some of the good ones will hit 20 50 and very rarely where they go higher than that like a 20 63 but let me tell you right now that this card but Poseidon right now on air now granted I'm using a manual fan curve I've got it set to 90% because we are overclocking it and pushed everything to the right it's sitting at 58 C it'll probably hit around 63 C at two thousand and eighty eight megahertz these GPUs do not like to go anywhere near 2100 this one actually hit 20 101 not wasn't perfectly stable but if I tried to do 20 101 with any other card that came through here so far if I tried to go anything over like 2050 they would just instant crash when I would start to benchmark but this one's still running right now 20 88 and it's got a 6061 C right now so the air cooler can clearly do its job if you ramped up the fan speed that should be that should be pretty self-evident with any air cooled card but right now if we take a look at the curve on here you can see there it is right there 20 88 and there's our 20 101 I told you about right there so it did run 20 101 you can see the system still running we were able we had a slight hiccup it basically goes black screen but it comes back it doesn't completely hard crash and we're locked up but there we are right there at 20 88 that is highly impressive remember we're not even on water yet so obviously the results on air were pretty damn good so let's go and put it on water and let's see what happens I it's going to be hard I don't imagine it going any higher than the twenty eighty eight I think there's other things that are factoring here with our limitation but obviously cool part is you can water cool and you don't have to take it apart that's nice you guys just let me do one of those ridiculous things I think I've ever had to do since water cooling by gas taping my fans to the radiator because when I grab the stuff in the shop I forgot to grab the screws for the radiator fan but hey it works and if anything it's kind of sealing up some of the gaps so anyway here we are we've got our temporary loop set up with the Poseidon I turn the fans off because I'm going to do this in two different ways - I want to test it with the fans off just the GPU block I don't know why anyone would do that but I want to see what the temperatures like with just the GPU block now check out the idle temp that came down already 23 degrees on idle we came down to 32 C remember it was idling at 55 C with the fans off so that's kind of neat but yeah so here's were going to do we are going to go ahead and let Valley benchmark run once again and I do have the overclock applied the last overclock that we did the 2088 that one is currently applied right now so we're gonna leave all those settings except for the fan off and I want to see where the temperatures are going to max out then I'm going to turn the fans on while it's running and see the temps come down at all and then we'll see if the overclocking improved so looks like we capped out at 51 C and I am now going to turn on the radiator fans also - something important to point out is I only have these fans running at 50% and an audible 50% on an eighteen hundred and fifty p.m. fans so we're running roughly nine hundred to a thousand rpm so let's do this let me go ahead and click on the fan on the GPU I'll put it at sixty percent they're pretty quiet so I'm just going to let this run now and see if the temperatures come down and with the GPU fans going it dropped down to about forty eight C so we're seeing about two to three C drop what the fans running at a conservative sixty percent inaudible you can't even really hear them remember this radiator right here it's running only at 50% and it's pretty warm it's pretty saturated so I'm gonna do now is I'm just going to let these fans go balls to the wall and let's see how far it comes down then and at our twenty eighty eight o'clock if you're willing to sacrifice some noise and the fans at 100 percent right here our temperatures came all the way down to 42 C so what does that mean well it means that whatever rating they're putting on the box is obviously pretty conservative on the waterblock there's lots of different factors here open air test benches that the chats you've got fans you have sides of radiator but obviously here were the 240 1850 rpm fans and leaving the fans on the GPU just kind of doing its own thing we came all the way down to 42 C so you can see the range there right it can go as high as like the 50s or as low as like 41 42 depending on your setup and it's the next thing to test here is whether or not we can get any more overclock now we can do this live instead of having to cut the camera and go through all the process because I've got it set to where it was max stable right now on air so the moment we do this you can see our Mex cluck old soo if I close it it went away but anyway we'll leave that open here so let's go ahead and go up one more step we'll just add one step to this remember it's GPU clock goes in steps on NVIDIA not one megahertz at a time like a and D so let's see what happens will it run 2101 without crashing like I said 21:01 on air just air would go for a little while like this but then it would kind of black screen and come back and still run 2101 every now and then we get like a the application is crashed warning but I think I think Nick would agree that we are so far farther into this test we've been getting with 2101 well so I guess that's not the quietest setup obviously but that's because I right now I'm testing its max cooling capacity 41 C on water that's roughly what you get with a custom block so as you can see you can definitely tune this thing to get better performance in terms of cooling so that I think they're numbers on the Box are extremely conservative we have a crash did on this normally we would crash by now now I would also test the stability test like this by letting a loop run for at least an hour without a crash but I'm curious now if we can go higher because we've already seen by simply adding water to it and letting it cool itself down and BRM is included VRMs are water-cooled on this as well at the full cover block obviously there's some benefit to be had there so because you can see it right there though 21:01 is what we ran in that little bit of a test right there I don't have a single 1080 Ti that's come anywhere near that so far what's the next steps going to be like 2114 2113 it didn't crash it oh there it goes okay so we got a little bit we got a little bit farther let's see if it comes back nope okay so I think it's fair to say that this card is already performing admirably definitely I mean it's the fastest GPU I've had come in here yet temperatures are good I mean on the air-cooled temps as long as you run the fans a little bit higher than whatever their factory curve is you can definitely get the temp slower than that 78 C they show on the bus and depending on the size of the rad and the type of fans you put on there you can get all the way down to 41 C on water and overclocked that's insane anyway guys I'm gonna go now tell me what you guys think about the Poseidon card it's been missing in action ever since the 780ti it came back with a vengeance it's got a heck of a lot of design input our philosophy on there the barbs looks better the Infinity window looks cool it's got a glowing logo on the backside and I think it would accent pretty much any system and would look great in there the Infinity windows definitely in touch that's for sure so yeah tell me what you guys think and as always thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one man 21:01
