780ti Sli temp issue

RMA a card that works within specification,you guys need a shot in the head.

Some 780xxx card run hotter than others,but they still work.I really dislike this kind of attitude from Nvidia/AMD guys who buy cards and return them because they are clueless(not op yet).It drives the frigging cost of the cards up.

I would love to sit down and have a beer with someone who owns a store and listen to there side about frivolous RMAS and they can not do anything about it.

Hell my last 10-15 Nvidia cards all ran fine with temperatures that are with specifications.

Some I had to run at 100% fan speed at all times to reduce throttling like 680 SLI,which sucked but I did not RMA the cards because they ran within specification.

Here's one of my 780Ti cards that ran fine with 95C set in MSI afterburner.The cards are designed to run at high temperatures.You want low temperatures get the card water cooled.Just reread my rant and I like it.

The card is hotter than it should be, EVGA have told other with same issues on their forum to RMA it.

The card may not be beyond its temps but its not in the normal range for a 780Ti and they come with Aircoolers so WC is moot point.

Do some homework before posting BS rants.
 
@ OP, I would have offered to do some tests for you but I am on Skyn3t v2 bios and clocks/voltage/Max Fan speed are all different (think 85% is the stock 100% RPM wise.)

Thanks jh30uk , Tbh its not the only issues ive had but the high temps concern me the most , the other issue i can't replicate at will, but once in a while Heaven / 3dmark will hang and go to a crawl . This happened 3 times during my testing.

Whilst i agree with you to a point i'm talking about a £500 graphics card , not something i bought from a pound shop , all these high temps have been in a cold room (around 17-19 degrees) , cold enough that my wc 780ti is idling around 25 degrees and loaded temps are at their highest in the mid 30's , so all these test have been in a "best case scenario".

Also i have 3 friends with 780ti's Non of their cards max their temps and throttle , hell my ref cooled 290 didnt do this even in the middle of the summer.
 
I would expect to see high temps on a top card in sli as this is normal on air cooling. But certainly not 83c on a lower card. I assume its hitting the same sort of temps when gaming?

I had this issue along with games doing it, turns out for some reason I have to run my cards in PCI-E 2.0 instead of 3, don't know why but it totally solved it for me
 
Just a quick update, just got the card back from EVGA, the new one doesn't go over 75 degrees on the stock fan profile and stays at 64 degrees at 100% fan looping heaven 4.

Very happy indeed ! thanks guys for the advice and thanks EVGA !
