So what's everyone getting for clocks ? so far I have 1120/1500 game and bench stable

ViRuS2k · 3 Jan 2015 at 22:08

1160/1690 for my 24/7 52c/58c max temps.

JediFragger · 3 Jan 2015 at 22:47

Nice Virus, really does seem they binned the nice chips when they were charging £1100+

fat4l · 4 Jan 2015 at 11:32

i'd rather ask what voltages ur running ?

preferably when water cooling.
+100mV?
+200mV?
+300mV?

Dicehunter · 4 Jan 2015 at 13:30

Well so far without a voltage increase I've managed to get a solid 1150/1600

Drojman · 4 Jan 2015 at 13:37

I know it's different for everyone, but how much has the OC's added to your temps? My GPU throttles if I don't have the front of my PC off (it's my case, not the card).

thats pretty nice

Anyone wcooling the card ?
What volteges do u usually run ? +200mV seems fine to me.

Is it normal to be able to hear the water constantly sort of splooshing inside the loop of the AIO ?

*EDIT*

It sounds like an air bubble, Any way to remedy this ?

*2nd EDIT*

Seems to be gone, Very odd :confused:

I heard a bit of 'bubbling' when I first switched mine on but it stopped after about 5 mins or so and I've not heard any since, same with my H75 cpu AIO cooler. I'd guess that as you say it's some air in there and now it's got to a high point and it staying still so no more noise. Hopefully it's not stuck anywhere that will cause a problem.

I can't remember exactly and the runs weren't all done under exactly the same conditions etc but when doing a couple of hours looping of Heaven at stock mine settled at about 68 degrees and that went up to about 73 when I put it up to 1100/1650 and I could get it to throttle if I pushed it further.

SInce then however I've been playing Dragon Age Inquisition and that really canes the card at 1440p VSR with everything maxed and causes throttling so for day to day use I've reduced it back to 1025/1550 with a -20mv undervolt. The difference in performance isn't noticable in games, only benches so not worth cooking it just for epeen

Smrtka · 12 Jan 2015 at 12:22

I can hear bubbling all the time after long period of gaming, hard to say if its the graphics card or the Seidon cpu cooler...should I be concerned ?

also how would I isolate the problem ? I can't just unplug CPU cooler....

tommybhoy · 12 Jan 2015 at 14:08

Hat a 920 Khuler that bubbled from time to time after footering about with the PC, when powered on, tilt your case to the side and it might remove the trapped air.

Even when they were sold for £800, the chips were well binned

Mine at least is superb, running at +0mv +50% at 1100/1650 without issue for months, and never gets more than 58C on hours of load.

Dicehunter said:
Why is there not a list like in most other owners threads on the front page listing owners ???

Because when I started the thread, we were few of us. Some has issues and returned them, after that no news from the others.

So no list :/

If anyone has a card and wants his name on, let me know, and I will edit the first post

(I do not want to put my name first....).

Finally, my beauty is plugged in and fully fitted with fans :cool:

Mora 3 420 + 8x230mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro Red Led, push-pull

Cools my 295X2 incredibly!

MSI 295X2, Sapphire OC bios, 1030/1300MHz

Water temp at idle: 22C (deltaT=3C)
Water temp at load: 25C(deltaT=6C)

GPU1 load: 40C
GPU2 load: 40C

Looping Heaven 4.0 for ~30mins.

I quite like that fat4l !

:cool:

How you finding the spectra fans? Have some myself, only the plain black ones

Shame they don't push a little more through a rad. Mine are quite thick though.

Edit:

May I ask what quick connects they are?

its QD4 Female Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Compression for 13mm x 19mm (1/2in x 3/4in) *Black* QD4-FS13X19-BK and QD4 Male Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Compression for 13mm x 19mm (1/2in x 3/4in) *Black* QD4-MS13X19-BK.

its a shame ocuk dont do them(atleast female one) but u can buy them from one uk/germany retailer. :cool:

check http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18643190

the fans are spectre PRO not just spectre and they push a bit more air than spectre and have higher static pressure. fpi of mora3 is not that high and push-pull condiguration helps

not sure uf they would be able to push air through Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta rads tho..

Crank that shiznitz up dude, So far on air I've managed 1150/1600 but run 1100/1500 24/7 clocks, I think I got a good one

working on it now brother!

GPU1 max is 1140 at default load voltage ~1.175v.
Wonder if gpu2 will do 1140 as well as its default load voltage is a bit lower ~1.135v.

Gonna do MEM1 now

Cheers for that.
Mine are the pro's too. Be it the plain black. Could be the thick rads in my case like I thought. I might go push-pull myself

I dont have a 295x2, so sorry for party crashing, but I have a question for the 295x2 owner, so where better to ask?

Is a 295x2 capable of driving ANY game (including AAA++++++ games) @ 4k if your willing to settle for say medium settings and 40fps. Or are we not there yet? Lets presume atleast BASIC crossfire support, not games that dont reconise the 2nd GPU at all.
