I just ran it under the tap at full blast ... just kiddin :) I removed the bulk just wiping it with paper towel dampened with 99% isopropyl. Then I used a really soft bristle toothbrush dampened with the isopropyl to get in between everywhere. I did the last passes with a microfiber cloth...

To reduce the temps I did several things: - changed the thermal paste on the card - removed the bottom drive cage, and changed the orientation of the top cage. - removed two fans that were redundant, generally disrupting air flow and creating turbulence - changed the position and type of some...

Well this didn't go quite as planned. I had a failure and a success. Modding with the Nocuta NF-F12's was a fail. But I did manage to reduce the temps by about 10 C by making several other changes. That subsequently lowered noise levels. I'll describe that in a follow up post. My original plan...

I just went back to your OP and only now just figured it out. Somehow I missed the inclusion of the 5-way PWM splitter cable (Akasa AK-CBFA03-45). That provides PSU power via molex. Duh! Now it all makes sense. When I set mine up I'll initially monitor it really closely at start to see If it...

I'm curious why you'd suspect that the GPU may not supply enough juice for a splitter to the two NF-F12's, but yet your setup with more fans works? I did wonder about that but thought if yours worked, mine would probably not be too much of a draw. You think it might be? I propose using the same...

Great mod lehtv , and thanks for the detailed instructions. I have the exact same card and I want to do the same thing. With this card I find it's either an oven or like listening to a vacuum. I've tried various fan setups and profiles, with Noc fans in my case, and my GPU still runs at 80 C...

I'm in Canada. There was a good sale on the G2 750W's on Amazon.ca ~ $50 off. So the G2 650W would only be about $10 less. Not a huge factor there. True about the warranty, but 7 or 10 years is still good, so that doesn't really factor into the decision as much as the power. Are you saying the...

Hi, I just bought an EVGA Supernova G2 750W PSU today. I bought it because I'm going to be swapping out my GTX 650 Ti for a Sapphire R9 280. The R9 has a recommended min PSU of 750W. However, with my system, I'm wondering if I should have gone with the Supernova 650W. The system ... i7 4790...
