Cooling/Fan control

Well I need to sort out my system, CPU with a Phanteks PH-TC14PE loads at around 66 degrees at stock

GPU is running far too hot. need to do some more investigations.

As in maybe one of the three fans has just stopped spinning entirely I've got arctic paste reckon that'll be ok?

Cooler pretty easy to remove?

If one of the fans doesn't spin you should rma the card.

75C on a 780ti under full load is pretty normal fwiw,they are hot cards

It's not under full load though it's around 60-80 percent with 70 percent fan speed.

66c under max load or idle?

Under max on my CPU

stulid · 21 May 2015 at 16:21

That is like 10c+ more than I reckon it should be.

Even on a hot day.

Snodge · 21 May 2015 at 16:24

Yeah Indeed, need to whack it out and start again

Snodge · 21 May 2015 at 16:37

Any recommendations on a good fan controller?

Lamptron.

So many to pick from, I know the Bitfenix recon isnt very good.

Shall I remove my cooler and take a picture of it to compare to the reference PCB?

Snodge · 21 May 2015 at 20:54

Just doing some testing before I send it off to overclockers as they're willing to test it for me

I started heaven 4.0 with everything at stock 70 percent fan speed made it one loop and it reached 83 degrees and it crashed

Ive now Increased it to 100 percent and it's currently at 73 degrees without crashing and it's still rising ever so slightly

Shall I send it off to make sure?

Think I've confirmed there's something wrong with the GPU as on heaven at 50 percent fan it wouldn't go above 83 degrees due to throttling the core clock from 1163 to around 1084 so I am seeing a hit in performance unless I have my GPU fan at 100 percent.

Definitely sounds as if something is wrong. Wf 780 here, iirc on auto fan at load in heaven it just hits over 70c. No more than 65c on a custom 1-1 fan ratio.

Will be sending it back then
