Gtx 1080 TI FE - temp limit at stock - question

Hi. My card Gigabyte Gtx 1080 Ti Fe.
No overclocking,no tweaking ,all stock and default.


The temp limit is default at 84. I thought at the default setting the fan is targeted at 50% and the card would start throttling once it hits 84c so it wouldn't go past the temp limit of 84. But in my experience it goes past that limit from time to time and the fan would spin at 60-65%. Is this normal? Again this is at default setting with nothing overclocked. Going past the temp limit hitting 85-86c ( without throttling , gpuz shows VREL or PWR limit instead of THRM ) with loud fan noise is worrisome. I'm not sure if this is a driver problem or this is normal?


Temps sometimes go past 84C to 86-87C and i dont have THermal limit drop in clocks in gpuz. Gpuz stating Pwr limit or voltage limit. Any ideas?

Temperature suddenly goes past 84°C to 85-86-87C and the fanspeed goes up.

Gpuz shows Pwr Limit or VREL,instead of thermal limit.


I tried on 378,382 and newest drivers.
