New Theory: GTX 7900 with 512 MB killed the motherboard ;) (Overheat !)
Hello,
I noticed in the nvidia control panel the temperatures of the these two graphics cards (sli) are 50 degrees celcius in idle mode ! That's pretty high ! Add to the fact that the gfx fans are probably spinning very slowly because of idling, Add to the fact the output holes are very tiny, Add to the fact there is little spacing between them, Add to the fact the airflow in the case was not optimal, Add to the rumor the mb sensor is near the cards, and there you have my new theory: The GTX cards killed the motherboard ! Overheat ! Some questions: 1. Is it possible to underclock these cards ? 2. Is it possible to make the fans spin a bit faster even in idle mode ? Bye, Skybuck. |

You should've sticked with the all-conquering FX5200 that you loved so
much... -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

Hello, snip Some questions: 1. Is it possible to underclock these cards ? I don't know and I am not sure I want to know. Using the drivers probably not, but using Rivatuner and low-level control this should be possible. However I wonder why one would like to build a dream machine with SLI and all, and then underclock CPUs and gfx cards... doesn't make much sense to me. My machine is by far not a dream machine (asus p5b-dlx, e6600, 7800gtx) all running at default, but it can barely be heard even during CPU- and GPU-heavy gaming. (Noctua cooler and CPU/case fans. No crashes, no overheating, almost dirt cheap (second-hand mobo and gfx). 2. Is it possible to make the fans spin a bit faster even in idle mode ? On my 7800gtx, I am still using the original fan, and it cannot be controlled by using the drivers settings. However, Rivatuner offers low-level control on the fans' speed, and I can set them manually or automatically. I leave that control to the driver itself, that takes care of this correctly. For a SLI setup though, I don't know if the fans can be set separately. You should concentrate on having a decent machine running silent at defaults, so you can enjoy it, rather than be bothered all the time by all the problems the previous one caused you. You had a dead mobo, SO WHAT ? Move on now. Lorenzo www.brokenbones.d2g.com |
