7950 a bit warm?

[Dangerous_Dave]

Hi all,

I have a VTX 7950 X-Edition here, which has a nice big twin fan cooler on it. The trouble is, with any overclocking the temps go bananas (like over 90 and start artifacting). I changed the fan profile which was topping at about 50% so that now it's running around 70% at around 70 Celcius load, at 1140MHz and 1.12V. But I'm wondering if this isn't still a bit hot for that much fan action, considering the voltage is still pretty low.

Should I be thinking about busting out the old MX2 compound?

I'd just return it tbh.

You reckon it shouldn't need that much fan to keep it cool?

isn't that normal? my tf3 7950 can get to the same levels but at 1125mhz 1.1v, so my fan profile is the same as yours too. i usually game at 912mv 880mhz so it's hardly a bother tbh but i thought those temps were normal. or they look normal to me. aren't they? o.o; my case airflow is great too...

To me, that sounds normal if it were in MY computer case.

maybe VTX stock fan profile is just useless for overclocking?

Try Afterburner for a fan profile, lots of settings to suit your needs.
