you talking 970 gaming , if so yes it good card, with good OC ability .
MSI 970 Gaming?
You probably need to keep temps below 65-66c if it works like other MSI gaming .Originally Posted by npcizzy
I only went with the OC model because the gaming/gold were out of stock. It's been treating me right so far. I've managed to reach 1500/4001 with stock voltage, power limit at 110% with the fans at 60% WITH VSYNC. If I disable VSYNC, the card will downclock itself to 1441MHz and stay that way until I relaunch the game. The card hits power and thermal limits which causes the card to downclock. I've been trying the up the power limit with MaxwellBiosEditor but I've had no luck as this Is my first Nvidia card.
The highest temp I've seen was 82c with the fans at 40% (Stock, downclocked to 1294MHz) with Far Cry 4 on ultra with all nvidia goodies on. Ambient room temp as of now is 21c (SoCal)
2 6 pin connectors and yeah it seem like I have to keep the temps under 71c. I wished it would actually use the temp target before it would hit any other limit. The thread you linked has been my guide throughout all this so I'll keep checking back with it.
