Hello, i am just wondering about some things about my Evga Gefroce GTX 780 SC ACX SLI setup.
Question 1:
I have been trying to overclock my 780s for some time now and then i ofc have to look at the temps. Then i noticed that my main card is getting up to 80°C when under max load(when not overclocked) at 1100Mhz. I am keeping my sidepanel off for now, to not hit them 80s in temps just to be safe. So is there something i can do to keep the temps low on my card? if i have my sidepanel of i will get alot of dust in my case.
Thermal Compound:
so i went so far to change thermal compound on my chip and under you can see the resualt.
Original thermal compound:
idle temp: 50°C
under stress: 80°C
Under stress while side panel off: 71°C
Cooler Master E1 IC Essential thermal compound:
idle: 41°C
under stress: 80°C
Under stress while side panel off: 71°C
Airflow:
For my computer case I got Corsair 750D and in it i got 140mm fan in the rear of my case that are pushing air out also a 240mm radiator at the top with push pull that are also pushing air out, my inntake is in the front with 120mm x2 fans.
Question 2:
When i overclock my GPUs by +50Mhz clock speed and stress test it dosent crash while testing, but if i play games for a while, suddenly my nvidia driver crash and somtimes my image just freezes, but i can hear sound for people in Teamspeak. So is this that i am hitting the overclock cap or is it that the driver is failing? Driver version 361.43
Question 3:
Do anybody know what material the heatsink of the 780s i have are made of? i am planing to try out Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra thermal compound, but i can't use that on Aluminium cus then it will corrodes and destroy my heatsink/cooler
