His HD 7950 IceQ Boost..... temps and fan speeds
- Thread starter Ian Jones
- Start date
i have the raider case
200mm on the front blowing in
120mm on the front blowing in
120mm blowing up to the gpu (standard raider case fan)
120mm exhaust at the back
that is what i was wondering, i have a few fans, but if people are getting around 50c or so gpu temps, is that because there gpu fan is 70%+ etc
or is there something wrong in my settings in the bios with volts or something?

I get up to 78C at 58% roughly, but that's overclocked to 1130/1425 @ 1.187V and 1.65V respectively. I'm considering flashing the BIOS so I don't have to force constant voltage in AB because my idle temps are ridiculous.
The boost BIOS on the card dumps 1.25V into the card, which is ridiculously excessive for 950MHz core, so you could always lower the volts with an overclocking program to bring your temps down. If you use afterburner you'll have to force constant voltage (it won't drop volts at idle) because of some issue with the boost bios. The HIS application broke monitor sleep for me (and some others have mentioned the same issue) so don't use it.

try it with the side of the case off to see if it's the air flow. If it's still high then it has to be the card itself, possibly the heat compound (or lack of)
side of the case off, and it idles at 38c room temp is 20.7c

Playing Far Cry 3 @ 1080p (ultra settings) I get max of about 67c, but that is when overclocked to 1100 / 1500.
Without the overclock it doesn't reach 60c.

I don't suppose you know what bios to flash do you? I have yet to find one that works.
My IceQ Boost behaves very oddly. The boost doesn't seem to change the voltage and it will do 1050 mhz on the stock volts, but changing the voltage always seems to make the card unstable.
