so i bought this card about a month ago and it is a very hot card, with its factory over clock at 980mhz and 1037 boost clock. it got about 77 degrees max gaming and generally average at around 73-76 degrees, after adding more intakes of course. before it would probably get to like 80 degrees and down clock when i only had 1 intake 1 exhaust and h100i pulling through top of my fractal r4. Now i have 2 front intakes and a bottom intake, rear exhaust and 2 top exhausts going through my radiator this is my second card after returning the other one which had similar temps. my question is, is this too hot and if so is it because it is already overclocked heavily by evga. would it be a good idea too down clock this hot rod or tweak the voltages. i would love your opinions, if you think its fine now please let me know, if it is to hot i would appreciate your help greatly.

all these temps were measured using 80 percent fan speed

oh and if anyone has knows about a waterblock that fits the ftw pcb lemme know :D 

i would also like to add that in msi afterburner it runs 1137 core clock when playing most games, is afterburner overclocking it?

I was running a Gigabyte 780 GTX which also would report temperatures of 75°c-80°c during high-end gaming.

My solution was to mount a Kraken X-41 Cooler combined with a Kraken G10 adapter plate (to allow the cooler to mesh with the Graphics Card).

I posted a thread with my experience of the installation here:

The card now runs at between 40°c-50°c.

There are also many custom air-cooling solutions such the Accelero series from Arctic Cool.

Keep in mind these custom coolers usually don't cool the VRAM so you'll want to purchase seperate VRAM Heatsinks and Thermal Adhesive.

If these solutions are too costly / involved for your purposes I can only advise increasing ventilation to the card via case fans or underclocking the card via MSI Afterburner which you appear to have experience with.
