Awaits post about Strix return to newegg.
Despite how it may look or seem, it doesn't move a lot of air through the case. Heat just..sits in there. With the optional clear panel it literally has 1 120mm exhaust.. thats it. I had to slap a G10 on my videocard just to get acceptable temps.
No, did not try the 350 w tdp bios since it does not include higher voltage. For me to overclock more, I require more volts than tdp. I haven't had time to search OCN further for bios that may work for me and have no experience editing bios myself.All I know is that my buddy had a HAF XB case, and well lets just say he bought a new one because he had temp problems. And no he isn't a guy who leaves his cords everywhere etc.
He bought a Corsair Air 540.....And yea his SLI heat problems were gone.
On Topic: Kickass, Have you tried that 350w bios yet?
Or you have a shit setup with wires blocking airflow and or running stock fans. I could feel the hot air being pushed out from my upgraded 140mm intake fans while using the Gigabyte for a short time.
And your fractal only has one rear 120mm exhaust fan in a smaller space, so don't give me that fucking bullshit
I'm using nice corsair 140 push/pulls on my rad for intake on the xb evo. Push/pull 120's on rear. Nice fans too, if I dont use the vented top panel with a strong fan the XB runs hot, if I use air cooled GPU it limits my OC because of it, as shown by my results with R9 280x, GTX970, and 980Ti cards.
My fractal has 2x120mm intake, push/pull 2x 120mm top exhaust on rad and a 120mm rear slim exhaust... this MicroATX tower cooos much better than the full ATX XB. In my xb all wires are out of the way, you're just... stubborn. Hardware runs hot in the xb, video cards especially. I'm considering buying a 540 since this case is such a piece.. but I'd like a fan pointed at my videocard.
You could be waiting over a year for Pascal. We will likely see another Maxwell refresh before Pascal is ready. A 980 Ti will be a little over twice as fast as the card you have along with twice the vram so I see no point in waiting if you want to crank the settings in demanding games now. You will be able to play everything fine at 2560x1440 and many even at 4k using DSR if you have a 1080 monitor.I ordered over the weekend a MSI 980TI Gaming 6G but I'm having serious doubts about rejecting the package when it arrives because I think I should wait for Pascal. What do you guys think?
Now I'm running a 7970 dcu2top from asus. Haven't owned a nvidia since 7600gt lol
btw, my first post here, so hello to all
Sig shows now and yeah you are good to go for a 980 Ti. And a Skylake cpu upgrade in the fall will hopefully be worth it.My sig doesn't show up. I listed my pc there.
I have 16gb ram and an 2500k at 4.2ghz. Should be enough. I will upgrade to skylake if the performance boost is worth it.
In real world gaming with vsync I am in the mid 60s in most games and low 70s at times in very demanding games. If you want to worry about temps on max overclocked benchmarks then they will hit mid 70s. And that is with fans left on auto.How are your temps on that MSI ? I see it's running a little hotter in reviews than my 7970 (few degrees). Another reason to wait for pascal
That makes no sense at all. What drivers and what version of Afterburner are you using?So... I received this card today and it's boosting to 1490 out of the box. The weird thing is no matter what profile settings I use or even force in MSI Afterburner, it will still boost to 1490 in every game. Anyone else have this issue? I'm not exactly complaining, but it's a headscratcher.
1490 out of the box seems really skeptical. Can you check which bios the card has?So... I received this card today and it's boosting to 1490 out of the box.

Still don't know if I should keep the 980 ti or wait for pascal. Maybe I will keep it and sell it before pascal comes out.
Do you have another fan to exhaust the air? You can't push in air without having a means of getting rid of it.
I will be running the card on default clocks as OC isn't necessary at all.
Nice temps on auto fan profile.

Found a Win update that was said to cause issues with Aero, and managed to remove it, but still no Aero.
If anyone has any ideas, they'd be appreciated. It's such a little thing, but it bugs me that I don't have the option. And I wonder if it will affect anything else.

Any MSI gaming bios that gives higher tdp and volts to the card? Link me.
