Hey,
so i just got a Gainward 680 today and tested it out with BF3, ultra settings and 1680x1050 res (have an old lcd)
rest if the system is:
i7 2600k @ 3.4
asus p8z68 pro gen 3
g skill ripjaws x 8gb
corsair 750tx
after about half an hour of playing i minimized to windows the check the temperature and saw it standing on
74-78 Celsius with 52-54% fan speed.
i was very surprised at the high temps and checked a benchmark showing they ran a 680 on ultra and 1920 res at 54 Celsius.
right now its idling at 38-40 C with 35% fan speed.
are these temps normal or are they too high ?
no overclocking done.
i was surprised to find the card had 1 8pin and 1 6pin power connections, as i saw in a review that the reference cards have 2 6 pins, probably has nothing to do with the temps, but maybe somebody know the reason for this.
thanks
