Asus direct CU gtx 580 owners needed for questioning

[OILFIELDTRASH]

What's the idle/load temps? Does it keep vrm's cool when under stress from more volts and higher clock speeds? Does the 2 8 pin connectors really help any for getting more out of the card? Are you seeing higher clocks and lower temps than reference owners?

I haven't run furmark or any stress tests on mine, but from a gpu-z log the highest temps I saw were 53 degrees at 21% fan speed and 91% load.

Depending on how high I have the heat in my apartment, it idles between 29-34 degrees.

I haven't overclocked it yet either, so can't help you there much.

Once I finish furnishing the new apartment in a week or so, I'll have some time on a weekend to play around more with it.

I know Castiel on here has one he's overclocked, so he'll probably have some better answers for you.

Idle : 26C - Modified idle voltage in bios
Load at 1Ghz at 1.2v: 78C

Yes it keeps the VRM's cooler and allow's for some very high clock speeds. The reference 580's won't even come close to temps of the directcu

1.2v? Is that safe?

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the replies.

Haven't had any issues whatsoever
