Mine never get over 40c with the EK waterblock

Drivers can shut down the card due tue high temperature, it's a fail-safe function.Guess what, the drivers are reading the temps too, and they'll shut down / crash if it reaches the critical temp..
Comprehension...
Prolong driving at high gear with low RPM will put load on the engine and shorten its life. Since people don't want to kill their transmission or engine running at either extremes they prefer a mid point and with VRM temp it exists as shown. Plus, it could impact the stable operation and/or life of nearby components with lower temperature rating.

Drivers CAN'T crash the card, it's a failure.
@Relayer: ICs running at higher temperature will have less efficiency (read: more power leakage) than ICs running at lower temperature. Therefore, your statement is completely incorrect . To produce the same 300W, VRM running at 70 deg. C will need 350W whereas VRM running at 100 deg. C will need 400W thus increase heat dissipation.
Not when approaching it's maximum rated temperature. Especially MOSFETs.Not necessarily true, some ICs perform more efficiently when heated to a certain point.
Engine wear/life span ARE relevant to rpm. If an engine with specs maxed out at 7000 rpm then running it continuously at 5.6k rpm will reduce it's lifespan comparing to running it continuously at 2k rpm given the engine temperature/lubrication are the same.So say 125c is Red line (We'll say 7k for this example), running the engine at 5600 rpms is bad for it by your thinking. Seeing as 100c is 80% of 125c, then 80% of 7k is 5600. That engine would run forever at that RPM (With proper maint), as will these VRMs (With proper maint.)

People still buy XFX?
After 10+ hours mining, fan @54% 290 Tri X

The 290 tri-x is a reference board.Yes, because I purposely wanted to buy a card from the same manufacture that sold me a 7950 that died in 3 days.
No doubt the Tri-X is an awesome cooler. Sapphire hit a home run with that one. I'd be curious to see the DD at the same settings. Might have to adjust fan speeds because fan speed % does not always coincide with RPM.
If I have some time tonight, I'll get on it, and see what it does.Actually i get even lower temps, this was on hot day lolz. My core is around 64 believe it or not, and vrm is around 70c with fans on 55%
Tri x is not so good only because its very cool, but also because is dead quiet and has guaranteed Hinyx memory with thermal pads on them, and very high quality iR mosfets, outstanding card.
Please do test with same rpm/settings, but i think your pc will crash, DD cards (vrm) run at 100c with fans at 100% afaik
I was referring to XFX, I wanted a Tri-X but wasn't going to pay for it heh.The 290 tri-x is a reference board.
Do you plan to slap a block on it? If so check this out. I heard that people that have the EK got lower VRM temp by replacing the thermal pads with Fujipoly.
Hey guys, We have heard this complaint as well and our currently investigating it to find out the cause. There were reports that the thermal tape nearest the DVI ports had dried up, but replacing it resolved the issue.
We will be reporting the results as soon as we find out more.
Thank you

That must be incredibly noisy.

Nope, you can barely hear these cards at 100%. Core only gets to around 75 when gaming, mining gets a fair bit hotter though. Of course, now I have to see how hot my vrm's are after coming across this thread.
I've never met a fan over 2000 RPM that I wouldn't classify as "Noisy as hell".
3300 RPM sends shivers down my spine. No ty.

Was going to purchase one of these this week, came here and saw this thread... now I'm undecided Any recent datapoints?
They should say who it was, after all we deserve to know.FWIW Guru3D has started using thermal imaging because they caught some card company purposely falsely calibrating their sensors. They won't say who, though.
