hey guys... i've got a evga gtx 780 classified...and it is running VERY hot compared to what i've found in search results...which seems to average anywhere from 50-60(excellent) to 70-74(average) to 75-79(above average). It does this even with the fan running @ 98%.IIf i keep clock and memory at +/- 0...and turn up the power and temperature in precisionX it goes up to 85ish degrees in bf4...if i unlink temp and power and leave power @ 100% while bumping up temperature to lets say....90...it would probably get to 90 eventually. but i've seen it hover around 85 for 20ish minutes. I saw it go as high as 87 after like thirty minutes of playing.
PC case: thermaltake chaser a71 with all the stock fans...one 200x200x30 up front, one 200x200 on side panel, 200x200x30 on top of case, and one(yes i know this is supposed to be an exhaust) fan connected to a corsair h60 cpu water cooler as intake. i know this fan is uspposed to be an exhaust but honestly.....15 degrees is a major difference in temperature...isn't it? especially considering most of the temperatures i found online were of 780s being atleast slightly overclocked one would think....
what do you guys think? RMA time? i also wasn't sure how to test and make sure my fans are all running properly. i went into bios and turned off the fan control so they would all run at max, and it made a major noise difference so i assume that means they were all running at max but i'm not sure...i dont feel like the large fans are running very fast. any way to test them other than speedfan? speedfan confuses me and sometimes the pwm of two of them drops to 8 and 24 or some other random set of very low percentages and changing the numbers does absolutely nothing except on the corsair fan.
oh, and ambient temps= 70-73F. I've even tried sitting it directly above an air vent, and we have a brand new unit so the air might as well be ice coming out of that vent. barely any difference. have yet to play with window open, but that doesn't solve my problem...and the chaser isn't exactly a cheap, know-to-be-hot case.
