I got sick of the vacuum cleaner noise of the stock cooler, and was hoping for better temps, so I upgraded to a thermalright hr-03 heatsink. Load temps are around 85C at load, and that's with it running passive.
When I try to overclock to XTX speeds (650/775) though, Im right around 91C and that seems pretty high. What's the max safe temp for this card? I've searched around, and Im finding people say you shouldnt go over 85C but others claim these cards run just fine at 100C.
Id like to get a fan on it, but a standard 92mm fan is too thick and runs against the heatpipes on the BigTyphoon. Im looking for some workarounds, maybe a slim ~25CFM 80mm might do the trick.
Thanks!
