ludachaz said:ok... is something wrong with me card or their methods? I get 94C at maximum load, thats with a vf900 and a 1900xtx. What am I doing wrong? Or is this normal temp? Not sure what stock cooler temps were, cant put it back on to check due to the ramsinks and me not having extra thermal tape.
ludachaz said:yeap, maximum. Its stable but doesn't OC much, I have it running at stock speeds right now and it hits 94 max. Ticks me off when I hear of people getting around 65 on their xtx
EDIT: any chance of the heatpipes being broken? The temps rise slowly from 70 till they linger around 94, so any chance of the heatsink malfunctioning?
Edit #2: I have hit 105 with the case open and fan at 100%. This is with the ATItool test, yet the heatsink feels cooler than the stock one when I touch it.
Bona Fide said:I agree with the review. Simply lapping and applying AS5 dropped my temperatures 10C. I don't think it's worth it [for me] to get a VF-900, but it certainly performs beautifully.
