<kj> hi <Arirang> kj, we can’t see you type anything. Something must not be working properly <Arirang> kj, I think your internetz is broken <mputtr> hi <WalterN> hi <mputtr> howz it <MrSparkle> ok so nand nm shrinks are happening quicker then cpu <MrSparkle> 20nm from intel this year? <MrSparkle> hmm I can’t seem to remember what ivb will be running at <MrSparkle> 22nm? <mputtr> 22 or 28 <mputtr> but it’s in the 20nm range <mputtr> it’s 22nm. <Endafy> anyone in here with experience in cooling a video card? <brick> it’s not necessarily different from cooling anything else… <Endafy> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118006 I was thinking of putting this on a 550 <Endafy> gtx 550 <Endafy> the gtx 550 fan gets awfully loud and its all cheap aluminum <Endafy> it isn’t specified to work but I measured the screw holes and it looks as if it is 7.5 cm like required <Endafy> my thought is, will this be enough for the new 500 series cards? <Endafy> or should I go bigger <MrSparkle> 500 series? <MrSparkle> kepler? <Endafy> fermi <Endafy> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127577&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA is the card in question <Endafy> great card just undercooled stock <MrSparkle> google adwords <MrSparkle> and 3 -_- staring at me <Endafy> lol <Endafy> I was just thinking about buying the heatsunk and if it doesnt work I can always just rma it <Berzerker> Endafy: I’d just wait until Kepler comes out <Berzerker> get a new card with a Twin Frozr <Endafy> I already have the card my friend <Berzerker> I know <Berzerker> you need a new one <Endafy> why when this one plays all my games on ultra dx11 fine <Endafy> just needs better cooling <Berzerker> just because it’s loud doesn’t mean it’s not cooling well <Berzerker> what are the temps getting up to? <Endafy> telling me that I need to spend a couple hundred when I can spend 40 is not helping <Endafy> 60+C <Berzerker> that’s fine. <Endafy> best case senario I get this and it works beautifully <Berzerker> nvidia cards are designed to crap out at something ridiculous, like 135C <Endafy> thats retarded <Endafy> but thanks <Berzerker> err, the GTX 550 apparently has a max of 95C <Berzerker> why is that “retarded” <Endafy> ive seen it hit 70 without overclocking <Endafy> its just way too hot <Berzerker> http://www.anandtech.com/show/4221/nvidias-gtx-550-ti-coming-up-short-at-150/16 <Berzerker> looks like yours is cool <Berzerker> their tests put it at 83C on load <Berzerker> 76-83C <Berzerker> I still say you’re absolutely fine and don’t need to worry <Endafy> im not worried im annoyed at the insane noise level <Endafy> so ill drop the 40 on the copper cooler and see if it helps <Endafy> best case senario I can overclock it a bit and get basically a 560 out of a 550 <Endafy> ok I measured the card and the screw holes are 7.5cm and the max hole sets are 75.5mm I believe that should work <Endafy> it will be the max hole specifications but it should fit… <Terminus-> my old gtx 460 would hit 90°C when playing games. it broke after two months. >_< <Endafy> which is why I want to get a handle on this <Endafy> the included heat sink is cheap aluminum with no heat pipes <Terminus-> 60°C is fine. i get that regularly with my GTX 570. it idles at 50°C. <Endafy> loading afterburner now <Endafy> it says it is idling at 38 <Terminus-> ah… bad card design then. i second what Berzerker said. get a twin frozr instead of mucking around with cooling. <Terminus-> eh, that’s not bad. <Endafy> twin frozr? <Terminus-> i only get concerned when i hit 85°C. <Endafy> ive seen it hit that though <Endafy> but under load <Endafy> and I dont sit and watch it when I game <Terminus-> i get 80°C on mine under load but i’ve tweaked the fan with evga precision. <Terminus-> when it hits 85°C, i make the fan spin at max. <Endafy> world of warcraft in dx11 mode on ultra <Endafy> up to 50 just by starting it <Endafy> 52 <Endafy> 60 <Endafy> within a few seconds
