Accelero Extreme 5970 temps

**Redeye** · 20-08-2010, 11:24 PM

Hi There

Installed my Accelero Extreme 5970 on my Asus GPU this afternoon. Is it just me or are the idle Temps High?

Stock Volts, and no overclocking
Room temp : 20.5C
GPU 1 Temp : 36.5C
GPU 2 Temp : 33.5C

Fan Speed 50%

I have a HAF X with the side 200mm fan blowing nice cool air directly on the Accelero Extreme. I have taken the card out and tightened all the screws a bit more (not to tight), no difference.

Any body else with the same cooler for Temp comparisons?

I will play NFS Shift and see what the temps do.

36C is far from high, ever for idle temps.

Thanx Schumi

Out of curiosity, why keep the fan at 50%? From my experience with other Arctic Cooling products, the difference between 50% and 100% is barely noticible

Hi Johnny. Its a bit of funny thing, I feel that running the fans at 100% 24/7 will shorten the coolers lifespan. But is must say that when gaming I do set the fans to 100%, the temps never goes above 45C. So the difference between idle temps and load temps is approx 10%.

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · 22-08-2010, 10:18 AM

Which is massive. I don't have anything special to cool my GTX and it idles at 40-45C depending on the temp of the day and loads 65-75C depending on the temp of the day with the card's fan set to 70%.

**Redeye** · 22-08-2010, 10:38 AM

I must say I was a bit skeptical about my idle temps, but after playing a few games last night with 100% fan (and card overclocked to 800MHz on the core and 1100MHZ on the memory), the temps never went above 45c. And yes, even on 100% fan you dont hear a thing from the GPU cooler. So I am more than happy that I got the Accelero Extreme 5970. I works like a dream.

Cant you get a after market cooler for your ASUS ENGTX260 Schumi?

**SCHUMI_4EVER** · 22-08-2010, 10:49 AM

I probably could (though they might have stopped making them) but I don't feel I need to, I like having the fan roaring away at 70% and after my X850XT with 100% fan (which was far louder) idling at 50-60 and loading at 80-90 I'm perfectly happy with the temps as well.

**Unknown Soldier** · 22-08-2010, 11:06 AM

Yep, temps at 36 idle is pretty good and 45 at load is awesome. GPU temps can reach 90+ degrees without causing damage to the GPU's but of course keeping it cooler is always better. Congrats on the Accelero Extreme buy.

Question, how much did you pay for it?

I an addition to what I said above (have to quote myself since I can't edit anymore) at this point it would be foolish for me to spend ~1K on a cooler for an old card when a new GTX460 would cost me ~2-2.5K. Not to mention my card is the old 192core version which doesn't overclock all that well.

Haha, sorry, I should've mentioned that I meant the audible difference is almost non existent. But yeah, I don't think you'd have to worry about lifespan of the cooler. You'd easily upgrade before having to worry about the cooler dying. Plus its got a 6 year warrenty

Thanx US, Bought it at Prophecy for R669.29

**z3llin** · 23-08-2010, 11:28 PM

Now that I can see what these coolers do I want 1

**Firestar** · 24-08-2010, 07:55 AM

When is the next batch coming, Jude? I want to take a few for stock. Please keep my up to date?

**Ryansta** · 24-08-2010, 08:04 AM

My idle temps are great, one winter morning my idles were at 16c :O

At 100% i can here something, not loud enough to be notice unless its dead quiet and you trying to sleep, i have settled at 80% fan speed 24/7, temps are never above 45c

**Jude** · 24-08-2010, 08:23 AM

Checking now Henk, will let you know shortly
