Very good. Not tried the hack you can do in MSI AB but with the custom GPU boost disabled bios with 1.212V available I can just about push that.

Problem is temperatures though. I've got a standard 780 with the Titan cooler. For 24/7 I run at 1200 ish though.

Temps won't be an issue as its going under water asap

Hopefully break the 1350 mark with the hack then

Yeah should be possible. That will be obscene performance.

I play mainly at 1440p and I find the need for AA is reduced a lot and performance is good in all games I play without AA. I can even add it in some games but notice not a lot of difference, if any.

I agree on the AA part.

will i be ok with a HX520 psu for this?

thanks

If it's a single rail (common 12v) 400w PSU would get you buy with a later generation processor and sensible other bits and bobs etc

Delayed until tomorrow, the main truck was delayed to the depot apparently.

Sorry about that, use the same tracking details tomorrow and fingers crossed it will be all fine. Very rare for DPD to make mistakes like that!

Water block arrived ok today thanks for your help much appreciated.

If I go for a second card does it have to be the same? Or can it be another card with different clock speeds.

It can be another card with different speeds and looks - it doesn't matter !

How do they breathe?

Noxia · 26 Sep 2013 at 11:53

Ok sweet, guess it depends where I can get a bargain then.

What are the temps on cards 1 and 2 :eek:

surprised they dont explode!! Isn't it recommended to have the blower style cooler at the bottom?

Hi there,
Im looking for some advice on software to measure the temp of my GPU. Its the hall of fame edition. I was also then looking to find out what good temps would be under heavy gaming etc. Also does anyone find the GTX fans a little whiney. Its not that bad just a little bit. Any help would be great!!!

Try GPU-Z to see the temps. It also gives you other information.

Oh, and for the other questions, Good temps would be just under 70. But, anything under 82 is not bad. The cards are designed to work at 80 as default, I think.. I am not sure about the hall of fame one though.

Ok thanks mate I will give it a go

johny dolan · 26 Sep 2013 at 17:46

Got both my cards water cooled now and adding the 2nd card into the loop hasn't raised the temp of the other water cooled card by much.

Got cpu and both 780s in the same loop and temps are idle 26c and load running valley for 30 mins hit 55c and normal gaming or sing run of 3dmark11 temps are in the 45c range.

Used XSPC blocks on the cards and EK block on the cpu all into a EK quad radiator.

MrMoonX · 27 Sep 2013 at 18:39

Windforce 780 for £512.99 at OCUK what gives? I have WF 670 and its awesome but a 780 at that price that isnt reference is amazing no?

Winnter · 15 Oct 2013 at 17:37

what psu do you need to SLI them? i would like a corsair if possible.
thanks

stephenb · 15 Oct 2013 at 18:25

Got two running fine on a Corsair AX850 with a 4930k, moderate overclocks on both when benching. Don't know how much of that it is actually using mind you.
