Wow, admin disabled links on this thread - How lame!


Here it is again; I put "*" instead of "." so just substitute the *'s for a period.

I think it has something to do with the spammer from earlier this week. I read on one of the threads here that it's limited by number of posts, time on the forum or some such determination. Less spam is good I would imagine. Not to worry, you'll have plenty of posts in no time and it shouldn't be a problem other than the response flood controls.

So I've been thinking about going to water cooled because I've hooked up my SLI and of course my case is running a little more hot that I'd like. I'm VERY OCD about these things those and demand the best I can get out of my hardware.

Anyways, I wanna go water cooling, but I'm not so sure I'll be able to running on a HX750W PSU. If you look at my rig on this site, you can see all my hardware. I'm sure what I have no gets pretty close to pushing a 750W (Silver rated btw) I'm thinking if I try adding a water system to it, I might be getting towards to red zone.
I'm still under my 30 day return with Newegg that I could trade in the 750w for a HX850 instead, or should I go even bigger??

PLEASE ADVISE!

 
If you have the ability to get the HX850 without any real trouble I'd suggest that just for some power breathing room. It's an incredible power supply.
 
As far as the water cooling for your system I'd suggest starting a new thread in the 'overclocking' section of the hardware portion of this forum. There are wonderfully knowledgeable people there who will certainly have more information than I can possibly give you right now. I don't have or own a water cooling machine just yet and I'll be looking to them for advice.

****?? How could his 470 have LESS usage than a SUPERCLOCKED 570 Ti?? I really didn't understand this. I mean, the temps were totally off as well, even though I do have a better model and it's factory overclocked, it was running 30-40 degrees hotter under load with 10-15 degree less ambient temp. Again, we both use the same exact case and system specs.

Yes, I made sure I installed the card correctly in my case;
Yes, I made damn sure I took all the plastic off;
Yes, I made sure dual monitor was off;
YES I made sure my customer fan profile was on, and during all this game play, my fan ran no slower than 70-80% at all times because the temps were so high;
AND YES THE THING IS DAMNED LOUD. 

Sorry for the long post, but can anyone shed some light on this? I wanted to ask the community first before I called in to bug Newegg / EVGA for a RMA, and wanted to make sure I did all my research and exhausted all avenues before taking a step towards returning the card.
PLEASE HELP!!

 
I'm somewhat in the same boat. If I knew how hot these cards would get I would have got a 6950 GPU (but at the time I got the video card I did not have a case to fit a 6950, this changed in the meantime as you'll see). Initially I had a pretty lame (airflow wise) case, Sonata III (single exhaust fan) so the GPU would easily hit and stay around 92C (the old 8800GT would never go above 70C). The RMA replaced 560Ti card would fare better (maybe you got my other card, lol) at around 88C. So I decided to get a better case, the lower fan noise would be worth it.
 
I just got an Antec Nine Hundred Two v3 (after everyone on the net seems to have recommended it for very good air flow). Nicely moved my stuff into it, routed almost all power cables behind the mobo, should be no airflow obstructions. The temps I get now are better but still over what I wished for. I get much lower idle temps (<40C idle GPU) and slightly lower load temps (around 81C). Obviously 81C is not a bad temp (especially since now the GPU fan doesn't get above 50% so it's not getting too noisy) but with such an "air tunnel" case I expected better.
 
It was my mistake to go for the 560Ti in the first place, I'll pay MUCH more attention to noise/temperature on the next upgrade (scheduled in 3 years, as I've done every 3 years in the last 12 years heh).

I just got a new eVGA GTX 560 Ti DS, and similar to you - I also have very high temperatures when playing games.  Especially Crysis 2 where I have noticed it runs at ~90 - 95C.  This is an extremely hot card, and I have very good air flow in my HP xw9300 workstation.
 
I have a bit of a CPU bottleneck though, with only 2 Dual-core Opteron 275's, which are on the low end of the Opteron family now, but will be upgrading to a ASUS Sabertooth (990FX) and AMD Bulldozer when released in October [ I hope :) ].  This should open my FSB and supply all the crunch this video card is demanding.  BTW, I'm using a 750W PSU that is Bronze certified for SLI and Xfire config's... so power is not the issue.
 
I am concerned with these high temperatures though.  I was hoping with the dual fans though, this wouldn't be an issue.  It is... and I'm wondering if buying the dual fans was smart, now that I know both the single and dual fan cards run the same temperatures.
 
Sad.

I finally get my pc:

-nvidia evga gtx 560 ti DS Superclocked
-corsair XMS3 1333 2x4GB
-WD Caviar Black 1T

-CM HAF 922 with 3x200mm and 1x140mm
 
I’ve been making some test with nvidia demo endless city 1920x1080 and V sync activated
It idle at 28c with fan speed at 40% and when I run the demo hits the 67c with fan speed at 80%
My room temp is 25c
I try changing the side fan from outtaking to intaking and its better so I let it that way
I use evga precision and configured the fan profile this way:
30c-40%
38c-55%
48c-65%                                     
58c-80%
68c-90%
 i dont know if this is a very good program to test this but is the only one i got
 
To serper wowowow!!!
90c??????? that’s very hot
 
so i think i'm getting good temps??

i just tried crysis 2 with settings on hardcore
and get 66c w 80% fan speed i think is pretty good
compared to the other users messages

I'm getting good temps, but the noise of the fan when it's spinning give a really loud rattling sound.  Is there any recommendations on how to get these to not rattle when using at high settings?  I'm at a loss as I have great airflow in my case, but the fans on the gpu seem to be a little too flimsy.  Is this a valid reason to RMA?  Is there a better fan that can replace these?
 
Thanks...

Hi,
i have the same problem here as you. I get about 92C wheen playing non demanding games as well when playing far cry 3 (I dont use 2 Displays). Even after replacing the TIM with MX-4 , the temps didnt go down. The airflow in the case is also good. The Support thinks that there is no problem with the card! The fan is extremely loud and runs at full speed. In idle i get 37C.
I am disappointed from this kind of unqualified support who is suggesting me that 92C are normal.
 
 
This card will be my first and last one from EVGA .
