Nvidia gtx 1080 plus arctic accelero xtreme iv = 50ºc

We are very close to the release date of the Nvidia GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 and many users will be happy to know that the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV heatsink (and most similar heatsinks) is seamlessly compatible with these new Nvidia graphics cards thanks to the fact that it uses the same PCB.

The GTX 1080 exceeds 80º at full load…

The first reviews of the GTX 1080 are already coming and with them arise one of the first concerns, the fully loaded temperature of the GTX 1080 easily exceeds 80 degrees with the reference models and this can be a problem, especially if we would like to overclock this graphic card. Fortunately there is a solution and it is the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV, which can help us improve frequencies beyond limits without making the temperature a nuisance.

… but with the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV the temperatures drop to 50º

Thanks to the use of an advanced cooling system, such as that of the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV, temperatures can be lowered from 80ºC to 50ºC, as shown in the PC Games Hardware video that has tested it, and even the frequencies from 1780 MHz to 2126 MHz, which is close to the frequencies with which this graphics card was first introduced.

GeForce GTX 1080 overclocked to 2.1GHz

Even so, from PC Games Hardware they also recommend that the reference model is not highly recommended not only for the temperatures but also for the use of a single 8-pin PCI-Express connector, which limits the TDP to 120% so that it does not consume more Of 215W, it would be normal for better custom models to be announced over time to get more juice out of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
