[Sale/Trade] *R7500.00* ASUS ROG 2080Ti Matrix Platinum *Read Top of Advert for Condition*

[superrob]

Yes this is the same card I had up for trade previously but upon testing it fully I picked up the below observations.

Condition:
It seems somewhere along the line the card has picked up air bubbles in the cooler, I picked this up while testing the card in different systems you can hear it's happened because the pump becomes noisy these are mostly easy to deal with by taking the gpu out and shifting it around because it is much like an AIO with how they pick up air bubbles then how you get rid of them.

The cooler also has a filler port on the side but I assume it is not so easy to just top the cooler up. The temps in this current heat on stock fan settings are 44 degrees on idle and 60 to 72 degrees under gaming load. With fans ramped up temps are 38 degrees on idle and 58 to 63 degrees under load (This is fans sitting around 80%). Checked the internet and these thermals still seem normal for a Matrix.

So yes this is still a rare 2080Ti but as honest as I always can be with others I find the air bubbles worrying unless you never plan to move the gpu around ever because once the air bubbles are settled inside the temps are okay and the bubbles won't be an issue.

Yes you could waterblock this and have amazing thermals too but I don't like ruining nice cards for no reason.

So after reading this look at the bottom to see possible trades with cash difference I could be considering.

No outright sales price if someone is interested in buying? Seems like there isn’t any real issues with it

Bump even would consider a 3080 OC version plus cash paid in from my side.

Okay just to update as a test took the gpu out moved it around because it only gets air bubbles when taken out the system and moved not when it's in a system that sits on a desk that's had the air bubbles settled. When the gpu is moved and powered on the air bubbles are prominently heard in the pump noise with idle temps around 65 to 80 degrees, as I said once you do the below method the bubbles work out and will not arise until you move the gpu physically out of the systems again.

Used Corsairs suggested method of how they prefer air bubbles in a rad once moved to be worked through by tilting the entire system case when running backwards for a bit then forwards for a bit and due to where this gpu aio pumps positioning backwards makes the most difference, did this for 5 minutes with system tilted back and can watch temps drop as the pump works the air away from the pump and into safe pockets at the top of the rad.

Idle temps immediately come down to 38 degrees and that's where they remain until you pull the gpu out of your case.

In this extreme heat at the moment people wanted to know what this GPU does (Take this knowing that the RAD is positioned right on the gpu so it still soaks a lot of the heat up)

Superposition stock fan curves (1080p Extreme) starts off at idle 38 degrees then levels out to 75 degrees average with a few peaks of 79 degrees or so but keeps getting brought down to 75 degrees.

Superposition 80% fan curve (1080p Extreme) starts off at idle 38 degrees then levels out to 69 degrees average with a few peaks of 79 degrees or so but keeps getting brought down to 69 degrees.

Heaven stock fan curves (1080p Ultra) starts off at idle 38 degrees then levels out to 75 degrees average with a few peaks of 79 degrees or so but keeps getting brought down to 75 degrees.

Heaven 80% fan curve (1080p Ultra) starts off at idle 38 degrees then levels out at 69 degrees average with one peak of 75 degrees for a split second but keeps around 69 degrees in this system on that benchmark.

In MW Warzone it's averaging around 72 to 75 degrees in this current insane weather on stock fan curve, on 80% fan curve it sits around 66 degrees for the most part with a few higher peaks.

Lowered the pricing slightly added 3070Ti OC or 3080 OC trade plus cash options.
