Quote:About temps: the final GPU temperature depends very much on the cooling system of your case, room ambience temp, even the position and height of the box inside your room (room warms up especially on the roof, stays cooler on the floor. i've once measured 3°C difference in 1,20m height). I can have +/- 20 degrees celsius just by changing the cooling of my case, e.g. no fans => 80+°C gpu temp ..... 3000 rpm Fans => 70-75°C gpu temp ..... 4000 rpm fans => 60-67° GPU temp (overclocked!).

That's indeed very true. However, keep in mind fans with >4k RPM are very noisy. I'm using myself some SUNON fans in separate small room and I can hear them very much if they are running at the full speed.

Quote:Cooling has to be seen as an "overall concept" (including the room!) so there's much more than just gpu fan-style. Because of this, the reports about certain temperatures and fan-styles are varying so much. Be prepared to try several types of fans for your case. Took me like 7 attempts to get fans that are good enough. ;-)

What kind of fans are you using?

I think everyone on this forum votes for FE Smile
