Devastator193 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have just recently purchased a gtx 570 graphics card and asked questions about it in another post... btw thanks to the guys that responded very helpful :thumbsup: ... ANYWAYS could someone tell me how hot this card will run under max load but full fan speed? mind you this is a double shot not a single fan card.. however its in a mid-tower and even though its a bigger case its still only mid... I am not comfortable with temperatures above 75* C... so 1 how hot will my double shot run under max load but max fan 2 how can i get it cooler without compromising the max load and 3 will i be able to overclock this without reaching above 75* c? thanks for the responses :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnedbyscope Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 mine tops out at 85*c in a laptop maxed load while using afterburner, so you should have no problem keeping it far below 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator193 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks so much for the response :biggrin: .... now quick question if i use my EVGA Precision tool and increase the voltage amount will it void my warranty? and will my manufacturers warranty even cover a melted GPU? I don't intend on SOC just a 30% or so with a small voltage increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123qw Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) You probably won't be able to overclock without going above 75 degrees but a bit above 75 should be ok. I don't think you will damage it unless the temp goes above 100. Edited July 9, 2012 by abc123qw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator193 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 This may seem stupid but actually I'm only overclocking it for maximum frame rate.. i only want to play Skyrim or Arkham City at high max.. maybe medium... do you think that my card will do better under more stressful loads and that my frame rate per pixel will be higher if i maxed out?

pwnedbyscope Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 trust me, your gpu will shut down before it comes anywere close to high temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123qw Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If you maxed out your settings then depending on your cpu and ram then i'd say your frame rate would be from 40 to 60(max).Don't most people overclock to get higher framerates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator193 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 No the crazy part was i was only going to push it to medium-high settings... Idk if you guys would call that... overkill for this GTX... should i max out because right now my gt 520 i have installed is doing low settings with a max of 30 fps :facepalm: ... but i don't think the GTX 570 will recognize the program is running at low settings... its way too overkill... like buying a GTX 250 to play Starcraft 1... anyways I'm not sure if i should keep it stock settings and just play maxed or if i can get 60fps average out of my oc... or i could just play at low settings and have 300 fps :dance: ... ahah anyways if i can get an average of 60fps with 75* c or lower temps ill be happy... Just btw I'm upgrading from AMD Athlon ii x2 250 to AMD phenom ii x4 965 BE and gt 520 to GTX 570 sooooo will this be enough power to make at least 30 fps maxed?

abc123qw Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Probably you can make at least 30 and your framerate wont be over 60 unless you disable v-sync in the ini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnedbyscope Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I would recommend using an over clock program such as afterburner or the nvidia one, its much less of a risk at a lot less that can go wrong, other than that you would probably average 45-60 fps with maxed settings and have no issue with heat, unless you have a cluttered case with poor airflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
