The rules are

Three times round the Heaven 4 bench (using the settings in that thread).

Stock clockspeeds on the GPUs (no overclocking or underclocking)

Any type of cooling allowed (providing it can run 24/7 so no LN2) please say which

Undervolting allowed

Custom fan profiles allowed

Screenshots of GPUZ at the end with max core temps and VRM temps displayed.

The object of the exercise is to see how cool the cards can run.

If anyone with any other cards want to have a go please do, all cards NVidia or AMD welcome.

I will run my 290Xs in the morning when I get in from work.

Please don't forget the VRM temps as it could help other people.

No 290 but I'll post my 780 Ti :)

Stock clocks and stock/1.2v. Not very impressive, my max fanspeed isn't fast enough :(
I can't hear it at 100% with my headphones on :o

Mine.

Single cover UK Supreme VGA block, 120mm fan blowing on the VRM's and memory.

Card is cooled by a Thermochil PA 120.3 with 120x38mm Yate Loons at 5v so stupidly quiet.

Could drop both core temps by upping fan speed and decrease VRM temps by actually fitting heat sinks to them ( Getting full cover block soon )
