Gelid Icy Vision

[sneekypeet]

see when I used the shorter standoffs and set the screws finger tight I had to overvolt to get to 70 degrees. With a 800/1000/1600 clock it was 65 at like 50% fan speed (EVGA OC scanner / open GL4). What was your ambient durring testing?

 

[Maban]

My thermometer said 76.6F for stock auto. 77 for stock 100%. And 79 for Gelid. Also I've found that OC Scanner doesn't put as much load on the card as Furmark does. So I wouldn't compare them.

 

[sneekypeet]

did you unlock the power draw in the EVGA scanner? Also same abients

 

[Maban]

OCS gets up to 76C. Ambient 78.8F.

 

[sneekypeet]

thats a 26 dergee ambient, at 25 degrees with an overclock I was ten degrees cooler with my overclock above. Just saying/ tryimg to look out for ya.

 

[Maban]

Using the C standoffs?

 

[sneekypeet]

Using B it made no contact, using C and careful not to warp the card, I saw -10 on your numbers.

 

[Maban]

I'll have to try that.

 

[sneekypeet]

where does your card idle? I mean i guess +/- 10 is somewhat acceptable between different cards.

 

[Maban]

35

thats right about where mine was too...could be urs dumps a touch more heat than this one does.

Its possible Im bitter from my experience

 

[Maban]

I should get better temps when I get my new case Monday. I will update on temps then.

Wait didnt you WC the cards?

Wait didnt you WC the cards?

wait.. he did.. but if you look at "hers" you see there is a 3rd..

 

[sneekypeet]

yes sir, here is my 3rd...................................................................V

 

[Maban]

Overvolted to 1.087V and clocked at 775/1900 i hit 90 in OCS. Only 63 in Stalker CoP benchmark. Ambient is 79F.

 

[Maban]

Changed to C standoffs and applied new TIM. Temp went to 86 in Furmark. Changed back to B standoffs and added a bit more TIM. Temp is back down to 75. Could have just been not enough TIM, I won't know for sure because I don't want to fiddle with it anymore. I give up. 75 is an alright temp. Should be better but eh. I may buy a VF3000F if it ever gets released.

 

[Maban]

The gap on mine was about the same size as the one in your review.

Guys i need some advices. I have the Inno3D GTX275, I know you big boys got them 480's.

But will this cooler fit on my card? I know the manual says it would, but will the NVIVO Fit on the GTX275?

Any of you great gentlemen got any 275's that wanna help me? thanks. I am planning to buy this cooler withn the week.

 

[erocker]

What is the NVIVO?

 

[legoman]

the one you see near the Video Ports(DVis) on GTX2XX series.

 

[erocker]

On the 275 all I see are two DVI ports. Are you refering to S-Video? If so, it makes no difference with the cooler, the card keeps the bracket on.

@erocker

Brotha do you have the 275s?

mine's like this.

the NVIVO is near the DVI ports. marked in red. thats square

 

[legoman]

my question is, the Sink that comes with the cooler for the NVIVO will it fit on the 275s. and talk about the problem that one brotha here had with his 470.

I dont want wasting my money if this cooler wont be a tight fit on my gtx

Ah, gotcha. I would think a little stick-on heatsink would go on there. With a fan directly above it it should be fine.
