Hi everyone
So im interested in the EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked 4GB gpu but i have a question about the heat dispenser. From what reviews ive seen of the card some people have been experiencing a sort of "exhaust" method that dispenses the gpu heat sort of inside the case, as opposed to outside the case.
Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-130-945&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=5&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo
I was wondering if the cooling i will have will be sufficient enough to keep all the heat out. Also, im pretty sure the gpu will fit in my case lol.
Case: Fractal Design R4 (Black Pearl)
Corsair H75 Liquid Cooler
Whatever fans come with the case + Some extra corsair fans (so around like 3/4 fans+ liquid cooler)
So you guys think i will have enough heat displacement in the case so nothing will get ruined of overheat because of excess case heat?
*SIDENOTE* I bought the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO mobo and i was wondering how exactly i would go about adding more fan connectors (i think there are only 2 fan "ports" on the mobo) would i just buy one of these? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812162026 would that be enough for 3/4 fans?
Anyways thanks for all the help, i ask a lot of questions on this forum, always get an answer :) i appreciate it!
well what i can say is that i have an EVGA gtx 780 ACX cooler inside an obsidian 550d with all lids shut. and it runs at 80 degrees in demanding games (not BF4 kind of demand, but even more) which is perfectly safe, at about 50% fan speed. i have 120mmx2 be quiet silent wings at front and 1 140mm silent wings at the back as exahust. the card DOES exhaust almost all air into the chassi, to the point a side exhaust fan could be considered. still it doesn't get frightfully hot though.
I can also say that i have a maximus VI hero myself and it has x3 4-pin fan connectors and two cpu fan connectors, hell just look at my profile, the specs are there.
Your card will run just fine in that case, what i am warning everyone about is that if you want a silent pc (which your choice of case suggests) the EVGA ACX coolers might not be the best pick. You see, the fan speed on the ACX coolers has a minimum speed locket to 39% which reaaaaaally hurts the idle fan noise level, it also has an annoying humming noise when at that frequency. However, there are alternative "non official" gpu bios that will fix that and turn min fan speed to 29% but it won't come without a lot of buttpain.
With that said, the noise level under load is quite competetive.
