What's your guy's room temperature and the temp of the GPU?

My room is hot, casing don't have good enough ventilation (micro ATX type), I had to put the fan at 100% to keep my card from overheating...

When my room temp is 25C (on aircon) my GPU temp is around 82C like that
When my room temp is 37C (no aircon, daytime), GPU temp reaches like 90C

both 100% fan

I'm using Silverstone PS-08 casing, the air seem to trap at the bottom of casing. I can't use ATX casing, no place to put in my room... That's why I opt for this chibi sized casing.

At 100% it is indeed loud, but it's not as loud as my portable aircond inside my room

I'm trying to add fans now, then maybe Mcgyver some exhaust on the side vent to see how it goes.

I tried running without putting the side panel and it does lower the temp, but scared some cockroaches or rats (if unlucky) go and screw the system.

I didn't pick the ref card because at daytime my room temp is crazy hot (I didn't run the aircon because I was at work)

Btw the Obsidian is too high, my silverstone is 355mm tall and just had 1cm clearance under my table. The Obsidian is 440mm tall

Mine:





Core 1030 Mem 1400
CPU stock

I tried printscreen but all I got is black image, dunno why.

Black image

This is some sick OC for the GPU

The other 7870 on the leaderboard have sick OC too

You should increase your power limit, your gpu clock goes down alot on the graph. By the way you didn't overclock your memory?
Your GPU temperature is godlike

that is weird. On my 290, the powertune is important so my card can stay at 1000Mhz all the time, if powertune = 0%, my card maintains like 980Mhz only. To put it at 1000Mhz constant I need to put like 5% powertune. To put the card at 1030Mhz I need 10% powertune etc

Or straight to 290X

His friend IS using the GTX 770 LOL

where can 290 fight 290X one, see the top of the charts of unigine heaven here~

My result on 1200 core 1500 memory








I still can increase the 50mV and add more hertz but my chassis can't cool my card enough. With this clock the core is at 92/93C

It's dual gtx 760, faster than stock 780

errr I'll stick to air cool atm.

Maybe I'll go for watercool in my next build, maybe one or two years from now

Just testing only haha, AMD did state that 290/290X can run fine at 95C. The only thing is my other components can withstand the heat inside the case or not....
But I don't worry that much, all still new stuffs with warranty

I need to find some higher airflow fans. Those silent fan in my casing is useless when my Tri-X fan is screaming

Wow, my whole CPU unit only costs RM3.8k including original Windows 7 licence

I think Heaven benchmark doesn't care about CPU speed that much...

Btw, I think it's still possible to OC non K CPUs, use old school FSB/Bclock style OC

Nowadays it's abit when I read that only unlocked CPUs can OC...

i want to see other graphic card's scores too, like hd5870, gtx 280, gtx 460, gtx 480 etc

What PSU you are using, a normal 650watt is plenty for single 780 Ti in my opinion

I'm still using lousy 625watt PSU and my 290 can run 1200Mhz OC with 150mV

Haha don't expect mine is giod PSU lar, mine is lousy where got good like seasonic one.

It's cooler master extreme 2 625, on paper 625 wattbut actual usage only safe to around 500 watt kua haha.

Previously didn't go for good PSU because I only install HD 7870 only. Also shop didn't carry PSU that I want that time.

so far no problem yet, just electric bill lil bit more

OC PSU literally means running the PSU above rated wattage, correct term would be overload . Many high end PSU can run higher than rated, for example Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution 750 watt can run up to 950 watt before shutdown http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Sil...y-Review/1452/9
