There is no silent/uber switch on the msi gaming cards...the switch is for legacy/hybrid bios.
Oh sorry...
I ran Furmark (8xMSAA 1080p, got 18 fps), and with or without undervolting or underclocking, it always ends up at 94°. The difference is how long that takes...
I'm gonna try the bottom fan, but if nothing works I'll have to leave it that way.
At 94° the core clock (initially 977) mainly fluctuates between 950-965 so even if that's throttling it's not too bad right ?
Update : I tried running furmark with the side panel removed. It stabilizes at 90 degrees with no undervolting or custom fan settings. I also noticed something that I think is interesting... The hot air seems to be coming out directly towards the side panel, while the air in front of the fans is normal... It's coming out from the gpu level and slightly above that, but not in front of the cpu so my guess is the gpu's causing it... What do you think ?
