All those replies are not helping at all - except the "turn fan speed down".

Use Rivetuner for that or go and buy that Accelero Xtreme 280. I bought that - mainly because I wanted a higher overclock which I got running 750/1600/1430 all day.

But what really surprized me was that at 100% fan speed with Accelero Xtreme 280, I was not able to hear anything but a very low buzz sound coming from the card.

I really do not think you need to worry about ANY temperatures, but if you do just install some mosfets onto the VRM´s - it takes like 5 min extra time and is not expensive at all. I installed some Enzotech MOS-C1 - a bit of a overkill and they actually needed a bit of cutting, because they are too high, but get anything that is not more than about 8-10 mm in height.

I know the Accelero is expensive and that it is a bit of work to install, but you sure will never regret when installed and fired up.

This is a picture I saved when I looked around for help on my install, and it shows what you should look at if you want it to be as cool as possible. An awesome picture - but I can not remember if the guy´s name is onboard or what - sry about that and not for paying more attention to the owners name (not sure if he is on this forum even) - hope he is ok with my reposting his picture though

If you buy Enzotech you can use what is left of the mosfets after cooling the 6 VRM´s to cool some of those highlighted in red.

I got a better (IMO) fix.
Flash it with a custom bios, in which you lower the voltage (since you said you don’t oc it), and do a custom fan profile like this, it make the fan nonintrusive.


Just make sure you don’t lower your voltage to much, see what other ppl use, and test it for stability in windows with the evga voltage tunner.
