So weve just about touched on summer this weekend hows you cooling holding up?

Personally I fired folding up yesterday afternoon while i popped out for half an hour and at about 21c outside temps I came back to around 55c on the cards and 78c on the hottest cores with the temps in my rads hitting nearly 40c. What I did notice though was when I turned the cards off the cpu dropped 10 degrees so I think I need more raddage

Doing the maths quick thats about 5-6c rise in temps tying in with the 5-6c rise in ambient which I'm pretty happy with if only I could get some more rad space in, or maybe just changing the fans for decent rad fans
 
I was hitting about 30C in my room today, was a bit mental.

Thankfully I did my OC last summer and haven't changed it so everything is fine :p
 
Room temp is up about 5°c on an average over a day, peak as been about 29°c. Usually I try to keep the room around 20/21°c when it's colder outside and my temps gone up roughly 1.5°c per 1°c in ambient.

Currently I'm sat here and it's 24.4°c ambient (sleeping is going to be fun!) and my CPU is at 35°c.

I might have to alter my PWM fan curve tbh as it's set to really kick in at 40°c which gets a little loud.
 
I wondered this yesterday so I fired prime up. In the winter the hottest I got was 58/59. Yesterday the highest I got was 65C. :)

Not sure what ambient is but I were wearing shorts not a hoodie. :)
 
Idle temps have gone up a bit but the max temps for the GPUs have remained the same, the highest I have seen is 41c.

Having said that though it does a get a bit warm in my bedroom when benching, 30c with the windows open.:D
