GPU temps on a 570

[Raawmeat]

Hi guys,
So i didnt know if i should post it here or in the air cooling page but if it's wrong could you just change it over?

My problems is my temps on my zotac 570 synergy edition card ( i know stupid referens cooler) that spikes over 85 degrees on bf3 (ultra on all settings) with the fan speed at 60%, and i can hear the fan through the headset while im playing so won't go higher as i wouldn't be able to hear any of the sound in the game otherwise.

And my question would be if i got the artic cooling accelero twin turbo 2 for about 50usd, how much different would it probably be. And for those who have one or have had one what is the noise of it, i know it cant be worse but i'm kind of picky with the noise and the gpu is the only thing in my rig that makes any sound right now.

The current case i have is a storm trooper so well ventilated and will be switching to a modified bitfenix merc soon, also with good ventilation as soon as it's done (will post a thread about the mod later when i'm finished).

Thanks: Raawmeat

Before buying a new cooler, try just re applying the thermal paste

also a 570 on bf3 ultra is probably not the best idea. step it down a bit, your eyes won't really notice and your gpu will thank you for it. also +1 on the thermal paste idea, it's 5$ for a syringe, not a huge waste of money if it doesnt work.

A 570 can do it with proper coolin, got my dad gigabyte 570 windforce rev 2 and it never goes over 70 in any stress test or bf3.
But i changed the paste, had some noctua laying around but the temps are about the same just a degree lower but it wont go over 88 now on auto and the fan speed will then go to 62%.

So should i get the arctic or anyone know any better cooler for 480pcb that aint over 100usd/65gbp?
