Just running my EVGA 980 SC on heaven, defiantly runs hotter than my EVGA 780 SC but a little quieter.

Surely it should be cooler and not hotter?

Default fan profile on reference 980 is set to remain silent, so it simply lets the card run hotter.

Set a custom profile, still quiet and will be much cooler.

Yep, read that also.

I know but I've seen a few reports of people saying their 980's are hitting 80 easy, with the same rig my 780 was hoovering around 74, but I did have an aluminium back plate on my 780 so not sure if that helped and it was a little nosier, my 980 is practically silent even running heaven.

Just rigged up for testing stability on air before the blocks arrive next week - bit of a mess as a result as the loop is bypassed etc.

EVGA Bridge on later for extra bling.. EVGA SC editions btw.

We don't mind a bit of air-porn around here. Even if it's not real porn.


That's how you bypass a loop BTW dangel x

That's a thing of true e-beauty!

Just ordered a 970 Zotac for my SG05 LAN rig.. Looks like its going to be a performance monster and should last at least 2 - 3 years as I wont be 4k gaming @ lans for a while.... Nice rig above BTW.

I can not understand why people pay all this money for graphics cards just to get a few more points in benchmarks. when you play games there is no difference in game play at all until you put the frame counter on but that makes no difference to the game

Yeah I dunno must be an appreciation for the technology and taking an interest or something.


I should have kept my 680s


I don't need a 400bhp car either, should trade it in for a Fiesta derv

a car and graphics card are 2 totally different things

To whom? You're in the wrong place I'd quit whilst you're behind.

On your 70mph graphics card
