Hey guys. I need a little bit of advice here. I just bought and installed an HR-03 GTX on my eVGA GeForce GTX 280 SSC. The temps, I must say, are insanely low. I had a 20ºc drop in temps over the sock cooling (used to hit around 80-85c load, now hovers around 60c w/ fan on medium).
My qualm is that my VRM temp did not change during load. At idle it dropped around 12c (probably because it is an independent cooler and not sharing its thermal load with the GPU and RAM) but at load it still hits 80c. Anyone else with this cooler able to verify if these temperatures are normal, or if maybe I need to reseat the VRM heat sink?
P.S. I did change all of the thermal pads out for AS5 and made sure the HS was perfectly clean before applying.
