Ok, will check it.

If I'm not mistaken, you mean the fan speed will change according to the temperature right? I know about that way of setting as I was using it for my previous 7800GS. Will take a look later.

Anyway, I also emailed ASUS technical support. Let's see what they have to say regarding the 2D/3D settings....

why don't u use the nvidia control panel?
setting up a new profile.. and load them with a set of rules..
try install ntune if the option is not available..

I come to conclusion that the load temperature depends on what 3D application you are running.

I was playing Company of Heroes yesterday my load temperature only 72'C, Stalker was 88'C, Lost Planet 91'C. All at 100% manual fan speed.

Hhmmm might wanna try kmarc's downclocking trick to save energy.

I prefer Rivatuner as it has all the functions.

Haiyaa.... no reply from ASUS yet....

Guess what.

I can manually set my fan using Rivatuner but I cant set the fan speed using nTune !! All options are grayed out under te fan options.

So I'm exactly opposite eh ?

Does rivatuner 2.3 have 2d like mode?

what about the voltage? if we reduce the speed.. isn't that the core will overvoltage?

Probably not overvoltage. Just that it will be running at stock voltage at underclocked speed.

I have been wondering about this too, whether underclocking the card will cause any problems in the long run. Anyway, I have already posted a question in Nvidia's forum and also emailed ASUS. Still awaiting replies from them.....

hurm. just ran some benches with rig. 6.2k 3dmark06 (1024x768). cpu score will go lower if i oc cpu over 2.95ghz. lol. managed to hit 650/2000 without artifacts on my card. can go up to 680mhz core with minimal artifacts though. will post screenies later


edit: forgot to mention resolution for bench

welcome, but what's with the capacitor?

Did ur capacitor already burn?

heck all of ure temps are freaking hot...

both of my sli idles at 60-65C and loads at 81C...

u guys need to do this first.. noticed a big difference.

1. Damn good cable management
2. Make sure u have one 12inch fan blowing towards the pcie powerinput front

like for me using stacker 830 i did a inver on the hdd and i have 12 inch fans sucking the fan to the cards... IE same as Ian Ho king Kong...

very big difference with this....
use ntune for nvidia mobos with rulez on temp control....
or http://www.guru3d.com/article/article/449/
but heck just run it 100% 24/7....

been doing that for years and no complains on any of the cards i had.

, 12" fan - damn big you know , it's 120mm

True true. However, for my naked rig, the card is idling at 60-65'c at 50% fan speed, and load at 75-80'c at 80% fan speed.
I haven't run the fan at 100% as I don't want the fan to run so loud!

Wished I had more fans. Now using 5 cooler master silent fans to blow on my rig.....

the more latest the 3D application you are running(Company of Heroes>Stalker>Lost Planet),the more heat u are bring to ur card...

eh ...hard to say ...just my 1 of capacitor alredy losse....market can get those capacitor?

logically what u said is true.....

but believe it or not i get higher temps playing UT2004 than i do playing Quake 4 and even CoH

capacitor losse... then ur card still can run ya...

My 8800GTX SLi goes up to 100C while playing Lost Planet! Hot day, no aircond. Must be coz I'm asking them to do so much work running Lost Planet in DX10 n 2560x1600 resolution.






Capacitor loose then just solder it back. Easy oni wat. That's if u knocked it loose lar. If the card came like that brand new then u better RMA.
