NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

The stock Afterburner profile should be good enough. I also check the box, Force fan speed at each period. Tweak a little further if you need to fine tune.

Thanks.

Just filled the loop and my 970's are at the following temperatures:

Difference in temps is quite high but so is the voltage difference!!

Literally just filled it, let it run for 20-25mins then turned her on so still full off air so radiator performance is not optimal yet.

Have some more parts coming from OCUK tomorrow so can finally complete the build and finish it off properly.

Yay for the SLI voltage bug!

Temps seem high - mine peak at 43c under water but as you say, bleeding the air out will prob help that.

You prolly have a lot more radiator then I do though dude.

Theres new nvidia drivers btw 344.48

No fix for the SLI voltage bug or power state lag issue

1x 240, 1x120 and 1x160.

1x 240, 1x120 and 1x160.

I have 2x 240mm radiators that are 35mm thick with a single set of fans in push.

I might have an air lock, not bothered just yet as my new smaller pump top reservoir gets here for my Laing DDC so the loop has to be drained tomorrow anyway.

Temps should be in the 40s tbh

So here is a screenshot of my MSI using Precision X.

Can anyone stop anything different?

 

[Geeman1979]

Higher Power Target?

 

[JamesM]

Indeed.

it seems I have the voltages working on this card too. No limit shown on GPUz and at +150 i'm currently boosting to 1605!

Showing 1.275v on GPuz sensor

 

[Geeman1979]

Nice one, what's the factory Max Power Target on those cards?

 

[JamesM]

115 or 112, cant remember ha

I need to get home and get some benchmarks run..

 

[toodoo9011]

is this the one that everyones going for and buying:

I reckon benchmarks & games will crash at 1624 core. Heaven might be ok but firestrike wont be so kind! If not you are a lucky one!

It seems to be the most popular. But no everyone has bought that one. Some are buying the G1, some the Strix. Personally I've gone for the Strix for the 0db fan.

and I went for the G1

It has gone up £15 since I bought it though. They are all great options. Save yourself £25 and go for the MSI

At stock it was one of the better cards with a decent GPU score on the OcUK leaderboard..

With the extra volts and higher power limit it's going to be interesting..
