Good to know. So Afterburner is the app of choice amongst Geforce GPU users here?
Generally yes. I've always used it in the past, though with my G1 I'm using the Gigabyte software, and it's been perfectly adequate.
The program of choice isn't particularly important imo; GPU Overclocking is incredibly straightforward these days. It's literally:
- Set power limit to max
- Tweak core clocks until artifacts/crashes
- Dial back just below highest stable frequency
- Repeat with Memory
- Set appropriate fan curves
Unless you're flashing the BIOS or shunting etc, there's nothing more to it.
Reassuring to hear. In fairness it has settled down a lot over the last couple of days. Just the occaisional burble on start up. No leaks fortunately, I've got a good view of the mobo under strip white LED lighting and all looks clean
Glad it all seems ok. My experience with CLCs is limited to one RMA, and a Corsair H100i be which I was pleasantly surprised by.
Honestly I don't think CLCs offer any performance benefit over high-end air solutions, but they look good, are very handy with restricted cooler heights, and provide a stepping stone to 'proper' watercooling.
Anyeay, as I said temps and leaks are the most important thing, and these days a hard shutdown on overtemp is baked into almost every motherboard anyway.
As long as research doesn't reveal your unit to share symptoms with common failures / RMAs and the temps stay decent, I doubt you have anything to worry about. When I'm bleeding a new system the pump often makes a racket.
Speaking of which, ever thoight about a custom loop?
