I hated this GPU. The fans are load and the cooling is awful. It was that GPU that put me off MSI all together.

tell me about it

There is a known problem with the fan controller, I think it requires a solder job to fix. I googled it but can't find you a link right now.

Send it back i guess ...i have a Gigabyte 7850 and under load or not...it's silent

TF designs tend to be pretty quiet, but more geared to epic thermals. Windforce would be my recommendation, if silence is what you desire

PS - If triple slot isn't an issue, give the Asus DCU cards a look, just be wary of Asus warranties

I don't desire silence but this is too loud.

I got one on Wednesday and made a topic about the exact same thing. The fans kick into max no matter what happens in game. Send it back via DSR and get the windforce that's on offer seems to be the general consensus.

This,

Plus this,

Cheap and really does the job well, silent and runs very cool. My Titan has gone from 80c full load to 40c, and it's silent. Well worth doing, do it to all my GPU's, you can buy the cheapest reference model and add Kuhler, saves money to, can re-use the Kuhler when you upgrade .

the fan's are only at 30% and I can hear them with my headset on. sorry to say it has to go back.

I had exactly the same issue. I've now sent two back and shall be requesting a Gigabyte card instead. The fan readout may show 30 or 40%, but its always 100% really. Ridiculous cards really. I'd love to know how they passed quality control, if any.

UPDATE: Got this card running pretty well now put some new thermal compound on it and I think it has done the trick running quirt and A lot better then before. plus I got 35% back from the retailer I got it from for complaining so I got it for about 150£
