    sli gup fans (loud)


    hello look at my system specs my problem is lately my gups have been getting really noisy (like i can really hear it even if playing a game or video ) surely 6 fans are enough to cool my gups down without the fans having to go crazy loud to cool it down? anyone have any ideas becouse the only soultion i have come up with is taking the side off my case to cool them down but when i put the side panel on it just heats back up within 1 min

    I would suggest some water cooling for the CPU, with all you have going on, the air is heating up high enough to kick the sensors. Speedfan could help with the fan speeds some, but the overall goal is cooling the CPU when it is under load...and the PSU is probably creating a lot of heat running the two GPU's.

    i said it was my gpu fans making the noise not the cpu i think i have fixed it all i did to fix it was remove the fan from the side and the back and switched them (the side fan was stock so i removed that and took the 140mm Corsair Air fan from the back and switched them seems to be running fine now thanks for the reply tho.i will leave this up for 1 week just to make sure if it dose happen agen i can look at all info to help me but it seems to be running like the day i built it :)

    Good to know, keep us posted, however DMHolt was trying to let you know that it was the general ambient temperature in the case that was the issue, but none the less, I would have asked if the GPU's were using aftermarket cooling(Windforce, Direct CU II) or reference cooling(stock cooling), something to keep in mind that most aftermarket coolers merely push air round the case, stock coolers are designed to push air out of the case, why is this important? if you are running in SLI then you need to leave space between the cards for the aftermarket cooler to be effective (if 3 PCI-e lanes are available).

    i am using a stock fans on the gpus (or stock cooling )
    my apologies to DMHolt57 as i completely misunderstood him
    an update after moving the fans and running some games and videos etc the rusult is about a 10 -20 increas in fps in games and no noise coming from the pc thus far. (that stock fan i was using on the side must of been borderline useless)

    Nvidia cards are hot and their cooling is very loud. Took a lot for me to switch to Radeon, but I am running R9 and I never hear the thing, no matter the load.

    all good then, at least you now know the importance of air flow
