What mhz speed does your boost max out @ stock?
Mine is 1189mhz. Oc'ed, up to 1276mhz. Get that boost up (keep it under 70c to avoid 1st thermal) and you should nab a few more FPS :)

Top card boost's to 1175, bottom 1149 and the most i've managed to oc them is +50 core, +300mem but my coolers are pretty poor. I always keep them below 70 but it can take the full 90% fan speed. How stupid does that sound aye"full 90%". Infact with my cpu oc'd my cards are being utilized more so running hotter so maxing out at 69c. They're pretty darn loud at that speed too and really need to be under water but thats just money i don't have. Plus all the grief of leak testing, draining loops and all that malarky..
I'm only using 60hz monitors though but never need to use v-sync as i've not seen any tearing at high fps. They're good panels for the price.. the only thing with them is the backlight bleed around the edge's. I use black wallpaper's which don't help lol.

It was a bit chilly this morning so i was able to run valley, I had to have the back door open mind
Cards stock, Cpu oc 4.6Ghz, which finally broke the 3k mark![]()
Cheers chap
I'm really struggling to keep the gpu's below 70c now its got a tiny bit warmer so am proper dreading the warmer weather![]()
How's the temps when gaming? If it's causing issues in the summer maybe you could just downclock the cards a bit.
Playing BF3 i can keep the temp around 65c but in Grid 2 i have to have vsync enabled as they heat up in the menu's. I'm going to reduce the power target a bit and see if that helps at all.
Very nice scores
Some Games ramp up sli or crossfire cards more for some reason
have you tried single card performance to see if it still get those high temps usually they go higher because of dual cards I noticed this as well
But some games make Gpu's work harder then others like Dead island #1 was a GPU killer make any GPU on the planet over heat
But using a hd5770 mid range card back then it wouldn't get over 50c
so you are not alone
It's a right royal pain in the arse enit as they should be able to keep themselves cool at stock settings without having to max the fans out. I even sat and cleaned every fan blade with a cotton bud to see if it helped lol.
My last resort will be taking one of the cards out for the summer. These cards are sold in countries a darn sight warmer than the uk too. So god knows how they'd keep them cool.
ganjiry, I only have 1 card, but I live in a very hot climate and have no problems yet. How much space do you have between the cards? Would a house fan blowing on the cards help you think?
