Boost higher than me, I keep hitting the limits.

Whats your ASIC?

My memory is higher, shows that memory doesn't really do much tbh!

 

[Scramz]

ASIC 82%

I am hitting the power and volt limit :/

It boosts higher if I lower the memory but haven't spent much time playing with it.

What's the recommended PSU for sli 970?

What's the recommended PSU for sli 970?

Probably 750W+. I'm running a Cooler Master 850W perfectly fine.

600w will easily handle these 2 cards.

Any news on the EVGA ACX 2.0? Order one on Friday expecting to be able to spend my long weekend sorting it out. Thursday to Tuesday. Not heard anything yet and its getting close

I'd like to know this too. I've asked Gibbo a few times on this forum but I don't think he's seen my posts.

What's the recommended PSU for sli 970?

My entire system is drawing 590w in 3DMark 11 from the wall, remove 25w because of my screen, 565w, power supply efficiency is approx. 92%, so rough estimate is 520w.

My system consist of the following:
i7-2600k, 4.5Ghz (1.28v)
MSI Z77 Mpower
4x4GB Samsung Green (1.35v)
2x SSD
1x HDD
6x fans
2x MSI GTX 970 (1500/7800)(1.2180v)
Corsair AX860

The poll in that thread is worthless unfortunately. There is no context to it.

Do another poll thread with same options but NOT getting coil whine. Should give a bit of an idea of ratios .

Indeed. Apart from not having the 'no coil whine' option, it's also missing some manufacturers from the list.

The thread should be closed and reopened with the proper options.

Is anyone finding the fans on Gigabyte G1 970 a bit annoying?

They seem really loud. Gutted that I didn't go with the ASUS passive to 65c cards.

I assumed all of the 970's were passive to 65c.

 

[JamesM]

Nope only the MSI and ASUS are as far as I know?

With all this talk of coil whine, and not being able to RMA them (so its not considered a fault...who made that rule up?), it's really put me off getting a 970 altogether.

I can't remember a graphics card launch with such seemingly high coil whine problems.

That coil whine thread isn't helping with it's "negative reporting only" approach.

 

[Jinjur]

Its a fault......i dont care.

Quiet fans.......QUIET.........yet the card squeals like a fisted pig? Nah.....that is a fault
