I did some tests on my setup to see what temps i got, havent found much in here about the use of universal GPU blocks so i thought i would share my findings. Running 2x MSI GTX 670 PE OC with EK-VGA Supremacy. Using Lamptron CW611 and OpenHardwareMonitor to read temps.
So, i put the Lamptron probes on the VRM and VRAM of both my VGAs to take some more measurements. The probes was put in between the fins of the heat-sinks. I must say im quite satisfied with my CW611, there is a lot of more options i would like but it does what i need it to do
Prefer to have stuff on manual control. The intent of this test is to get information on how my graphic-cards are coping with universal GPU block and custom heatsinks/airflow. Earlier measurements have indicated that the VRM of my top/master card is the hottest spot. From what i understand VRMs have working temperatures up to 125c.
I took three readouts:
1. Idle - Restart computer, wait 5 min with no programs running - Measure
2. Heaven - Extreme settings - 1600 x 900 windowed - 20min - Measure
3. Planetside 2 - High settings - 6020 x 1080 fullscreen - 25 min - Measure
VRM and VRAM temps are read from the CW611 at the given time, rest of the temps are max values from OpenHardwareMonitor.
Room temp is 25c.

The highest temp was as suspected the GPU1 VRM, peaking at 107c. Even though this is within the "operational temperature" i think its a bit high, but, what can you do... The noise from the stock fans are gone, so thats good
Guess ill just keep playing on and keep an eye on the temps of that VRM, it will last however long it lasts...
