I actually laughed out loud at this and my Mrs called me sad

Yeah they arent pretty even with full blocks on them

Haha I was only pulling his leg, no malice intended, used to have a CF290X setup myself.

Got it oc @ +75 on the core and I did have it @ +500 on the mem but have since brought that down to 425.

Get around 2111Mhz on the clock which I am happy with.

Doesn't go above 40% fan speed either and is not hitting higher than 70 degrees. Quiet as a mouse so far.

Thats a cracking O/C there, is it a FE card?

Aesthetics go a long way for many people though... Personally I couldn't bear looking at a grey cooler with green LEDs in my case.

True I hate the green light in my white led case.

That is on Gainward GLH

Got my EVGA FE @2101 on the core

Seems to be the sweet spot for it, I can run it upto 2157 stable but the benchmarks all suffer after around 2100

Memory is at 11188

On water temps never go over 52.

Pleased with the FE overall, apart from the price

How are the MSI Gaming X owners getting on? OC clocks, temps? Happy with your card?

stable @ 2152 but in project cars it doesn't want to know lol

So not stable then ...

I call it stable, project cars is always funky with GPU overclocks from experience

its been rock solid in BF4 for 2 days now

Anyone know the warranty terms on Nvidia Geforce own brand 1080 if I pop a waterblock on? I can grab one cheaper than rrp but as it would be going in a loop and if it voids the warranty I won't bother. Ta.

yoyo59 · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:08

had anyone used OC scanner when EVGA auto overclocks your GPU?

did you find it gave u abit more core clock?

Are the people clocking memory above 10800/5400 noticing worse performance as I've read above this speed it can actually negatively impact performance?

It varies from card to card. Seems after a certain point the memory trips and overall performance reduces when error correction kicks in. For mine it's at about 11000 even though I could OC the memory further then that.

Best way to check is to just OC the memory and run something like firestrike.

Devious · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:51

My performance starts to dip once I go over +600 on the mem.

winwin · 19 Jun 2016 at 16:00

wanna join this thread as soon as i can. does anyone have sli? whats the performance like?

never knew this but I just played around and found out 600 on the mem = worse performance for me

the best mem is 575 for me and im more than happy with

also heres a 3Dmark I managed to just pull off

not 100% if its good or not http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/12574399

Only EVGA allow waterblocks as far as I know. Nvidia own brand, you will certainly void the warranty.

Others do too, like Gigabyte - you just have to make sure you put the original cooler back on before any RMA

Ta for the replies - yeah, quite a few manufacturers don't mind - but can't find jack on Nvidias own warranty when it comes to waterblock installs

crinkleshoes · 19 Jun 2016 at 18:41

Then I wouldn't risk it - go for another brand where it's known... can't be that big of a price difference?

if the card didn't fail because of a leak or because you knocked something off or damaged it while fitting the waterblock I think you should still be warrantied & if that happened in my case, I'd put the cooler back on and RMA it, a watercooled card takes way less stress than an aircooled card hitting 83c for hours on end of gaming imo
