Please guide me with me new rig...

[Phrik]

I've finally settled down in completing my rig... although still missing another set of Corsair Dominators (on the way).

Here are some results:







Please see signature for further details of rig.

Any comparison would be really great and appreciative. No OCing ! All settings that I've shown are as is when I bought it and assembled.

All I want is normal running, no over-clocking, please let me know what to do with the voltages and so on and so forth... a little detailed terms would be great to use, as I have never done these kinds of stuffs before, eg: changing voltages, OCing, UCing, and etc.

Please let me know what I should change in my BIOS or if you need any more information just let me know what you need and I will try my best to get that information.

if you dont want no oc'ing then dont even go into bios

 

[Phrik]

It's just too many reds and yellows on the nvidia monitoring tool (see first screenshot). I have seen some that had all those green. I'm no good understanding the voltages and etc.

 

[bail_w]

Go to bios, and look for a option that says Default settings or something like that.

 

[Phrik]

I did default already.

What a waste of great hardware and no overclocking.

What's wrong with you man?

I don't know how to

Anyway,

I still haven't found any comparative temp charts for X6800s... hmm... anyone please ?

Everything looks fine to me. That chip can withstand up to 85C(I think), though it should preferably be kept under 60C. Judging by the temps in your first screenshot, you're fine.

 

[Arcygenical]

Your GPUS are idling at 80c? Something's wrong there...

If you want help overclocking, feel free to PM or MSN me... That board makes it really simple.

Yup it's idle at 80C, everything there is the idle temp. What really makes me wonder is that the other one has always around 8 to 11 average lower difference, it's maybe because it's sitting directly beside my X-Fi soundcard. Please let me know of any info or things I need to adjust to keep them well. I could make some pictures on the inside on the GPU area if you need a bit more visual of the situation.

Learning OCing would be great ! But the main reason I don't want to OC now is not because of warranty, it's all because I wanna save the thrills of better and higher speed after or during the time when some new things come in that are noted faster than this at stock speeds. Maybe when X6900 comes and GF8900 or something.

At least, I won't feel frustrated when that times comes, just when I spent a lot of money now... you know the thoughts like "crap I should've waited a while more..."

Which chip, the GPUs ? That's the idle temp though.

I thought you were talking about your CPU temps in the first post. What case are you using? Is the card getting enough airflow across it? The X-Fi being right next to it could definitely be a problem if it's covering the fan. Try moving it to another slot if possible.

Take your side panel off and see if your temperatures improve any. Even better, place your case on it's side so that the top of the HSF is facing UP, with the side off.

If your temperatures improve substantially, you have a major case airflow problem... Which I think you might due to your high GPU AND CPU temps

Taking the side panel off does improve the CPU area about 3-4C but worst on the GPU area, as there is no locking vacuum area for my small exhausts that I added.

Although it doesn't seem to look like having a air flow problem, because I have big intakes where my 240 radiator is and 2x 120 fan exhaust by the CPU and GPU area and some more small exhaust fans (2x60mm, 1x50mm) beside the GPU area.

I will make some pictures tonight when I get home, so you can get the idea more.

This I don't get though what it means...

Everything The X-Fi is underneath (in Lian Li V2000 view) the video card and not blocking any fans at all. And there is no other slot to put it on to....
