MercuryDoun Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Hay thanks guys!! Okay im feeling ashamed of my stock cooler, after i bought the new rig i realised that i have forgot about the cpu cooler!! i like the idea of the closed-loop for the CPU only but thats not really where my problems are!! i don't really know how to mesure the ideal or what ever temps but what i do is open up "MSI AFTERBURNER" and then run a benchmark, so my card are clocked to 1GHz (1,004Mhz) and wen running the benchmark it does about 64 decrees!! now thats a bit hot for me!! and plus the small case makes the rest of the things hot. This is why i was thinking water cooling!! something like a THERMALTAKE BIG WATER that uses 2 CD ROM drive bays...... although i read a couple of reviews and it seems that no one like it.....!!! my main consers is the bottom GPU it reaches temps of 69 - 75 and that scares me!! as you can see here there running at 23 and 30 with 0% GPU usage!! i will run the benchmark again tonight and then show you guys the temps!! Teehee... 64-75c on those graphics cards when clocked at 1GHz is COMPLETELY AWESOME!! Sure water cooling might bring those temps down a bit, but its absolutely not required. Those temps are amazing! Per Nvidia's Website, the max temp for those GTX560Ti's is 99c!!(Click the link to see for yourself.) That means no damage will be done to your cards unless you break that 99c for an extended period of time. Now running it at 85c+ will probably shorten the lifespan of the card. But point being is, 75c max @ 1GHz on the card?? You got it backwards, you shouldn't be concerned, you should be jumping for joy! Now get a real heatsink/cooler on your CPU and overclock that bad boy too!! Oh... and those water cooling systems from ThermalTake suck something fierce. Plus i don't think they have made any new ones in quite awhile. Most of them were made for the socket 775 or earlier stuff, it wont have anywhere near enough cooling ability to handle todays hardware. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeyvdberg Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah my pc does have a fan on the side I just disconnected it for the photos!! Really that high?? I was scared of damaging the cards.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Smokey - those temps are perfectly fine. Really good as a matter of fact considering your overclock. Since you're using MSI Afterburner anyway, experiment with some more aggressive fan profiles if you're really that concerned about it. In most cases the partner manufacturers use a fairly weak fan profile, juggling between adequate cooling and noise levels. About 100% of the time I've found I can create a custom fan profile that cools better across the thermal spectrum and still keeps the fan noise down to bearable levels.

I set a custom fan profile for my GTX570, made a huge difference in temps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeyvdberg Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Hay tanks!! This is why I love OverClockers Club!! Haha I was scared of those temps.... But now I think ill tweak my cards a little bit more!!! Yeah now for the CPU cooler so I can push the i7 to 4GHz!!! Thanks so much guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
