Any higher of an overclock requires a really high fan profile to keep it below 68*C load...and I can't stand the noise, so I leave the fan at stock.
With a stock fan profile...your temperatures are perfectly normal.

lol that's good to know..

But still I think these cards run way too hot and loud..

I might have to go custom cooling with these cards.. there is no way I can stand all this noise..

I can't stand the noise either, that's why I'm using the stock fan profiles, and just dealing with the heat and a lower overclock than my card is capable of. tongue.gif At least till I can afford to jump to full water.

You can actually set a FPS cap via Afterburner OSD and it works very well.

If you're not running a 120hz monitor set it to about 65-70 frames and call it a day. Watch your GPU usage barely go up and temps drop tremendously. thumb.gif

What Dustin said. By limiting the frame rate, your limiting the load. And no one is ever going to really need to see over 60FPS, 120 at the max.
After you do that, you can tweak the fan profile in Afterburner and get it to the point where it isn't annoying you but cooling well.

Hmm.. I am not seeing any options to cap framerates in Afterburner OSD

Open Afterburner and go into your settings then enable OSD and select what you want it to display.

Then open up the actually OSD program.

Hit the gigantic wrench and you should see what the picture shows above.

If you're not seeing what's displayed in the picture above then you'll more than likely need to update to a newer version of Afterburner and you should have it then. But trust me, it's really worth it if you don't have waterblocks or anything. Really saved my 470's until I could get waterblocks on them. Goodluck man, let us know if you need anything else! thumb.gif

Vsync for most causes lag or a delay unless you're using a 120hz monitor. If you limit your FPS in MSI OSD you don't have to worry about getting input lag unless your monitor is just slow. tongue.gif

Vsync on my IPS panel would be horrific. But the way I showed him, no lag, low temps, and normally don't have to worry about people thinking there's a jet in your room. xD

Go to your steam settings. Find the autoexec config file in your CS folder. Pretty sure the command is "FPS max 61" or "FPS max 121" for a 120hz screen.

I do the same thing for TF2 or my temps rise something chronic.
