Got tired of 680 temps/noise level.... (update: with results)

[Ferzerp]

This isn't a binary epoxy. It specifically says 60 minutes though.

 

[Ferzerp]

Doing my 10 minute furmark run now.

Bad thing: lost the slot above the card. Now my cable card won't fit.... hmmm....


Old temps: 84/71 after 10 minutes.

New temps: 64/73 after 10 minutes furmark.

The new cooler reduced the temps of the top card by 20C and is much quieter. The old card went up 2C, but that's ok. And its noise even a furmark levels is not bothersome.

 

[hokies83]

What the heck card is that my Gtx 680 maxes out at 54c...

 

[Ferzerp]

Yes, but what fan speed? I just have a reference card, and that's with fan under 50%

 

[hokies83]

That one with the Antec is a Ref Card.. and it has a 12$ 70cfm 18dba fan on it.

 

[Ferzerp]

Ok? And I wanted to cut down on the noise and have.

edit: also, you didn't say if 54 was 10 minute of furmark@ 1920x1200 with no AA temps or not. Nothing else gets this over 50C now.

54 is Heaven 3.0 With all extreme settings for 3 hrs. With my Tri fan Non Ref 680 Pumping heat up right below it..
I expect when i do this mod to it.. All temps will hover around 45-48c with the same tests.

And it is 100% inaudible.

 

[Ferzerp]

Nothing is comparable with furmark temps. Nothing at all

Sorry.

 

[blackened23]

I'd have to agree, Furmark and Crysis 2 with vsync off / settings maxed both give me the highest gpu temps of anything. Heaven takes like an hour of looping to approach a 10 minute furmark temp. (on msi lightnings)

You have the same case I have hokies, I love it. So easy to work in.

 

[Ferzerp]

Also, no AA raises the temps the most, and if you're testing cooling, it's a good idea to test the absolute worst case. At least in my opinion.

Sorry.

3 hrs of Heaven 3.0 is..

Anywho... the results of that 180$ thing..

Makes me thankful i did not buy one.. Instead going the Antec 620 route may not look as pretty but it is 110$ cheaper and gets better results.

No, no it really isn't. Once your cooling system reaches an equilibrium, no amount of running is going to raise your temps. You can run it for 100 hours and it will make no difference.

You must not have ever owned a Non Ref Tri fan Gpu...

Thing is like a Leaf blower in your case..

I was also benching 60mhz higher then you aswell..

Big Question what tim did you use?

I used Cool Laboratory on the gpu.. Tried it on my cpu temps were 5-6c Higher then IC diamond... So i scraped the crap off put on IC diamond back on my cpu...
So when i install the Antec 620 mod on my non ref ima use the IC Diamond.

No need to rain on his parade!. There are other factors besides cooling method that determine GPU temp, such as case, ambient temps, fan speed, etc, etc. For instance, if I run my AC 24/7 my max load temp would be lower by 10C if not more. There are many things that affect GPU temp so comparing two different PCs in different environments isn't exactly apples to apples.

As far as I can tell fezerp accomplished his mission.

We can compare temps when you actually run a similar test. Lol.

My temps are lil bit higher then most are reporting on OCN i think it is due to the tim i used.

but meh im not downloading furmark..

i Have 3d mark 11 and Heaven 3.0 i will also down clock my card to your clocks.

 

[Ferzerp]

I'm not really interested in your 3dmark or heaven temps compared to furmark.

Nothing is even in the same ballpark when it comes to raising GPU temps. So post away, but the comparison is useless.

 

[MrK6]

For $180, you're about 2/3's the way to a custom water loop that would have kept the card pegged at 40C load. Your current results are noticeable, but my goodness that's a needlessly expensive kit.

 

[Annisman*]

Surprised the top card heated up at all, considering almost all the heat should be shooting out the radiator and not touching the inside of your case.

It's probably within the margin of error, or influenced introducted by the difference in temperature on those two days, etc.

I ran in again later and it only got to 71 again.

Why not? I'm sure i'm not the only one interested to see the difference. Even if your temps are a couple degrees warmer, I'd say it would be the better solution. If I can spend 10x less for something that will net me 75C over something that's getting 71C, i'll let my GPU warm up to 75C without thinking twice about it.

Well personally, i'll let it warm up to 80C since I'd never spend close to $200 for a cooler of any type.

2is, it only hits 64C in furmark. 71 is my DirectCU II TOP one.

Ill do it just for you.

Remember i have a non Ref tri fan card under this card...

So you have to add afew c to it.

 

[hokies83]

2is, it only hits 64C in furmark. 71 is my non-special cooled one.

I know your core is 1287 what is your mem at so i can match it.

Tell me your settings aswell..

 

[pabs]

Sorry if this was clarified earlier, but just to make sure, you had a reference 680 that you bought the cooler for in addition to a Asus DC2 680 in SLI?

If so: How are noise levels on your DC2 card vs your new setup? SPCR gave the 680 DC2 a pretty favorable review and I wanted to know how this cooler compares in noise (it seems like it has very good cooling prowess). Can you hear the pump running at all?
