My New GTX 580 SLI - Temps

[Hay11Mac]

Hi Guys

Got my GTX 580's yesterday, I have 2 x 23" monitors connected to the top card, I run 3D mark Vantage, the top card Highest temp I saw was 93 degrees, bottom was 89 degrees.....

At the moment the cards are running at 78 & 58 degrees, but are slowly cooling down.

I am using the latest drivers off the NVIDIA site

Does this seem right??

Thanks

Hay

Not there is a space between them, them temps were with 2 x monitor's running, now only one is idle temps at mo is 55 & 51 degrees

Idle temps now are 49 & 54

[Hay11Mac]

52 degrees 44% fan speed

48 degrees 42% fan speed

Thats fine, they are designed to be quiet this time round thank god.

I used AB. Basically I set it up so that the fans were idling right at the threshold of being noisier than the rest of my rig. That way my idles are now mid to high 30s, 40s after a gaming session. IIRC on this fan it's 52% before it starts to woosh.

i would keep them both on auto fan then run furmark for 30min and find what the max fan speed was

then just put it to the nearest 10

so if it goes to 57% put the fan to 60% etc

its the best way i have found for my 460

Furmark wont work

Isn't there a way to disable the throttling, even in Furmark? I thought it was a command line switch with GPUz or some other program. I can't find where I read that though, belong to too many forums.

Edit: Found it...
