***GTX 780 Ti Owners Thread***

Im running the EVGA GTX 780Ti Superclock and have just started playing with vsync off and naturally my card is running much warmer. Looking through this and other threads I see 90oc as a sort of maximum safe temp to reach. Is that true, I dont want to melt my card :D
 
If you have a case with good airflow then you an get non ref but I gave up with GPU blowing put hot air in my case back with the 3rd party cooler I put on my 6800Ultra (looks kind of like todays ref cooler).

An Exhaust Blower is probably more efficient for its smaller size in relation to other non refs designs, of course 2 massive fans blowing on a card will cool it more and quieter in some designs.

80-83C is around normal. I'd try keeping it under 85C personally.
 
No, the 600 series did at 70Cunless you modded it not to.

The 700 series you set it to what you like as high as 95C in AB/Precision.
 
EVGA 780Ti Backplate came today, its so thin and cheap compared to all my previous cards I had preinstalled or bought one for.

Is it even Alu, hard to tell if it is or plastic but going by the cheap clear plastic strips to stop it either marking or shorting PCB it may be Alu.

Mine seems okay, not much different than the one I had for my Classified. The only difference is the Classified one was right on top of the pcb, whereas the 780 Ti one doesn't really touch it; it's just for looks.
