One user just put his 80mm fan on top of a blower fan and got temps down around 5-10 degrees. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cbkkju/comment/etgq2xo

I'm almost tempted to try it

My case has the card fab side up so I could easily do that...hmmmm! haha!

He's not wrong you know... I copied his settings & looped heaven a bit then ran time spy & temps 66-71, clocks 1800-1850mhz.

Previousley I had been dropping the voltage but not backing off the clock slider & it wasnt always stable & ran hot. Need to do more testing to find the sweet spot thats 100% stable now.

Yeah Kaap, thats more likely going to be the aluminium block for the Fluid series. They make some cool designs there.

It's a shame that people have to resort to this, but if it works it works!!!

*Just works

Similarly to RIS. It Just Works.

I *really* would love to try out RIS but I'm trying to at least hold on til the AiB cards come out!! Think I'm gonna fail and just end up ghetto'ing a blower

I got an anniversary edition, which hopefully going to arrive by next Saturday'ish. I will thoroughly test everything including washers, fan, undervolting and going to post here all my findings as going along

Washers with original thermal pads?

Maybe removing an I/O shield can help little bit https://eshop.netfox.cz/msi-radeon-...r6-hdmi-3x-dp-active-7-jpg-big_ies3344444.jpg :confused:

Now that's a ghetto mod worth trying

howkey · 14 Jul 2019 at 08:56

Any result with the fan mod?

To be fair it's nowhere near as bad as made out. To make sure I'm getting very consistent frames and no tearing with my monitor (don't have freesync) I'm set at 100hz 1440p just now and in Apex, PUBG etc it's hitting the targeted speed without the fan good by into a stupidly loud state.

Also with any in game audio on etc you don't hear it at all

. I'm pleasantly surprised by it considering the bad rep the blower had been getting, at least it isn't like the ones of yesteryear.

I remember my 290x was the same, great card but when it rocked up full tilt the case sounded like I was in T2 departing. The aib's should get some better options but ideally a water cooled one out of the box would be easiest.

bake73 · 14 Jul 2019 at 10:05

I find the cooler very quiet at stock.

JediFragger · 14 Jul 2019 at 10:07

Good news

I'm gonna wait til the AiB cards hit I think, by then we should have a driver boost and the aftermarket cards giving a boost to clocks too.

Thats a good idea tbh. Because that thing might be holding the cooler higher than it should. As said when I get a card going to post everything and results.

3 on the owner's list after a week :eek:

AMD could have got these reallllly wrong on the pricing...

Stock seems to be dripping out of every major etailer!

howkey · 14 Jul 2019 at 11:15

maybe they are good for mining?
