OP congrats on a sexy card. Hopefully this will be the 570s version of the lightning overclocking wise.

Did you even bother to look at the pictures?

Right on the front of the box it says 6+1 VRM. It's also a non reference PCB.

Sometimes I swear people don't even bother to read the OP before posting worthless crap.

Did you not have a fan profile setup on your original Galaxy? Your benchmark says it got up to 78 and you made mention to getting even hotter and ruining the card.
Yeah that's odd. My 570 was overclocked to 850/1700/2000 @ 1.063v and with a 1%=1*C fan profile I never peaked 70C.

Wish i had something to measure it with for you.

I'm not super impressed with the noise to be honest. At 40% its silent. At 50% its quieter than reference at 50%. At 60%-70% I think its about the same as reference. Over 70% the type of sound changes on the TFIII. It becomes less "wooshing air" and more "turbine like" if that makes sense, it's a noise I am not fond of. 80% is loud and 90-100% is unbearable to me.

I have never used an Asus thriple slot obviously though. I am only comparing to reference. The thing with the TFIII is that the same Heaven Benchmark with the same ambient temps resulted in 20C cooler temps with 7% less fan speed.

Temps were super low on the TFIII. If that is a trend I start to see while gaming, I will make a custom fan profile and max the fan at 60% unless the temps crack 80C.

EDIT: Also, its only 2 slots, which means in 2-3 years when everyone is raving over Kepler, I can pick up a 2nd 570 for pocket change and not need a competition-level motherboard to SLI them (like with the asus...)

I set the fan to 1*C=1% and then hard capped the fan at 70% on the Ref galaxy 570. I hit 78*C after extended gaming sessions, 75C after a heaven bench (I mistakenly put 78C in the second post, should be 75C. Still...

The time it got hotter is because for some reason the fan did not speed up while gaming. I didn't notice the lack of sound because I had a headset on, but all of a sudden ***FULL RED SCREEN LOCKUP***. Before that the galaxy hit 95C on a heaven bench because my intake fans were at minimum and they were clogged full of dust. Cleaning the case and nothing else brought it down to 75C in heaven.

Yea that sounds like a plan. To me atleast the main benefit of a cooler be able to run a chip coolly is that you get to turn the fan down and keep it running temps it would be on a less effective cooler but quieter.

Just for reference (and because I like saying it ) my DCII keeps my 570 at 62 max while folding with 24% auto fan speed with ~25 ambients. 2-3 degrees less while gaming and 8-9 degrees more in Furmark.

Wow thats crazy low fan % man, nice!

I just loaded the most GPU intensive save on Dragon Age 2. GPU usage 90-92% fan hard capped at 50%, temp max 54C. Thats awesome. Maybe i'll really test this cooler and run Kombustor fan capped at 50% and see if it stays below 70C or something nuts like that lol.

Thats the hope. With a stock voltage of 0.988 at 770 core, I have a good feeling about this card. I hope Afterburner gets their junk together. Did they ever fix the triple overvolt problems with the GTX 460 Hawk? I returned mine before I ever found out...

Yeah, one of the reviews mentioned the frozr over-prioritizing low temps vs. noise/fan speed. Frankly I think thats what separates the directcu ii and the frozr iii the most, out from what I'm reading here and elsewhere. You people who have noise awareness, just make a custom profile to let it raise the temps a bit at the expense of fan rpm's. Like juano here I'm really happy about the dcuii's low fan speeds and lack of noise. Barely seen it go over 30% while testing how far I can go on the clocks today.
