What are your GPU temps?

[uksoldierboy]

You can modify the AB files to +200/300 can you not? Was a thread on these forums somewhere about it.

Yeah something that Rangerj1 posted, I tried it but could never get it to work.

 

[wazza300]

ahh I see,id only seen the phase type things with big rubber tube and cpu block on the end

 

[Gregster]

I would love a chiller but this time of year would cost a fortune to run.

The procedure from the Overclock.net forum.

Just use /wi4,30,8d,10 for 100mv. The offset is 6.25 mv in hexademical. So on decimal is :16*6.25=100 mv. For 50mv you need 8. For 200mv you need 20( 20=32 on dec. So 32 * 6.25=200mv)

The easy way to do changes:

Create a txt on desktop. Write
CD C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner
MSIAfterburner.exe /wi4,30,8d,10

and then save as .bat file. Eveyrtime you start this bat file msi will start with +100mv

For 50mv: 8
For 100mv:10
For 125mv:14
For 150mv:18
For 175mv:1C
For 200mv:20

I wouldn't go over this point because
1)You are close to leave the sweet spot of the ref pcb vrms efficiency
2)These commands add 200mv on top of the 100mv offset through AB gui.That means 300mv

By default /wi command apply to current gpu only. So if you have 2 or more gpus you must use /sg command. That means the command line is something like that
ex:MsiAfterburner.exe /sg0 /wi6,30,8d,10 /sg1 /wi6,30,8d,10

Really wouldn't mate
When gaming, yes as you're constantly heating the water so the unit will need to be on, and ultimately depends on what you're running for games be it 1 or 2 cards.

I know when i had mine running, could spend 3-4 hours without it turning on, and only then rechilling my fluid for a few minutes thereafter. 350w at the wall when on

Would be usless for your rig, unless you setup one hell of a cooling tank to go with it, your rig pulls too much wattage for the unit to keep cool. Though for short benches would be fine.

 

[Gregster]

That's not too bad then. I would say shame but I would prolly never get one

 

[tommybhoy]

kaaps how are you getting more than 100Mv in AB? i need to know this

Create a desktop shortcut and add the switch:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" /wi6,30,8d,18

=150mv

Geeman has other voltage settings or work out the voltage you want in hex.

edit:

You need to click on the switched ab shortcut first then launch ab through normal shortcut for the voltage to apply.

Single watercooled 780, not doing me any favours as the ambient temp in my room is now up to 29.

Ah...

I remember the problems I had with this now. I had to change the /wi4 to /wi6 to get it working.

 

[Darujhistan]

Sat @ 53 idle, that's quite a way up on normal although I haven't cleaned the fan or inside the case for months!

 

[MrMarvelous]

MSi 290 is around 80-84 under full load in a Haf X using a custom fan profile in Afterburner.

I don't use AB for overclocking, just for monitoring temps etc.

I use GPU Tweak for overclocking as I have Asus cards but it is not much use for temps.

Normally I don't monitor temps so I would not have AB running but I needed to today for this thread.

 

[TrojanWhore]

not really been playing many GPU intensive games since going to water (kerbal/spintires addiction is taking up too much time!), I'll fire up some metro later if I remember and see how hot it gets!

 

[katinacooker]

Since the heats started i've noticed idle temps increasing by 4-5C. Last game i played was Dead Space 3, and it was hitting 74C before i restricted the frame rates to 55fps, and it peaked around 65C

7950 @ 1145/1495 +20%v

 

[TrojanWhore]

so I played a bit of metro last night (2033, not last light), and it got my CPU to 58, GPUs to 49 and 51, with the fans on fairly quiet (audible but not distracting from game)

loop is pump (DDC 10w) >> monsta 280mm >> GPUs (parallel) >> CPU >> mayhems 240mm quad pass

 

[BubbySoup]

My 290's in crossfire load out at about 51. They are in the same loop as my i7, a quad & a 280 rad for cooling, all fans on <50%.

 

[Silent_Scone]

35c over two Titan black Hydro Coppers.

Not quite as good as the EK blocks which used to stick about 5c lower on average, but nothing to lose sleep over.

Performance is sublime so who cares.


That's over two 240mm Black Ice, two slim 480mm XSPC and a 1080 Nova externally.

 

[SouthEastBlue]

I noticed my HiS iceQ 7950 @ 1100/1400 was hitting the 80's in Metro Last Light and Battlefield 4, idle was high 30 celcius. I put a fan underneath it and knocked a few celcius off though.

My CPU temps haven't really changed though.

 

[itchy]

Some big variants on temps. I guess case air flow and different cooler types can seriously make a difference. Just shows the importance of keeping our cases dust free (something I should do).

Spoiler

I would sort the dust out first myself mate, just saying!

Pc on carpeted floor = Dust magnet!

On topic my temps are high but GTX480 and the sun in the window for a good 4 hours dont help.

I did

I only left it as I knew I was changing it all out and just had no interest in de-dusting.

That's how she looks now
