What's your ambient temp? I've just got done with some more in game testing at different fan speed levels and at 90% fan speed it tops out at 52C @ 2160MHz.
I can't wait to test Cyberpunk... here we go!
So right now my ambient temps sits between 25c to 26c. (Every other time of the year when we aren't in our cold 3 months of the year, my room ambients sit between 27c and 30c). I have found this cooler to only be effective when its loud, right around 80% fan speed. It is quite good when it is there, but I have a custom curve set up on it to not allow it to go above 65%, simply because I prefer to keep the noise lower. Its something that has stuck with me since my studio days, I have always preferred a quiet rig, when I have headphones on I don't care, but when playing single player games I usually have the sound up on my 7.1 Surround Sound System, and it always bothers me when I get to a quiet part of the game and my fans just grab my attention, So because of that, I cap this card at 65% because its not Overly obnoxious then, and still does ok with cooling. I know that is part of the reason why my temps are so high, but I am used to having my fans completely inaudible, even when gaming for 8 hours straight, so I just need this block to arrive! LOL!
I am finding CyberPunk to be a really good benchmark with all the settings Maxed out. It really does push both the Core and the Memory. If I set a manual Fan speed to 86%, I can stabilize 2125 On the Core, and 2664Mhz on the Memory (As reported by HWinfo, so take that number times 8 and arrive at the 21,312Gbps Effective Speed, if you take the number from GPUz then its 1332Mhz, and that needs to be multiplied by 16 to get the effective speed. Still not quite sure why they all report different Metrics, Afterburner reports half the effective speed, so they all report different metrics, not sure which is the preferred method to report it, so I just usually say HWinfo's Metric and Effective so there is no confusion). So that works out for me to be +115 on the Core, and +1155 on the Memory.
Then if we take The Outer Worlds for instance, which is another game I have been playing lately, I can run that game a bit harder with perfect stability, same as pretty much every other game I play. So in The Outer Worlds I can run 2150Mhz (+135 On the Core) and on the Memory I can run 2687.5 (21,500Gbps / +1250 Mem), but in Cyberpunk within 10 Minutes I get a driver crash if I run that, so had to back it off ever so slightly. Whats funny is I can get through most Benchmarks with those settings at least once, so Cyberpunk appears to really work the Card, and it also seems to give the VRAM a Super workout, those are the highest VRAM Temps I have seen yet, about an hour into playing My VRam Temps Peak at 84c even with the 86% fan speed. But the difference between that Max OC, and my lower Every Day OC to lower temps and power is about a 3.42% Performance Difference, at least in the area I have been bench marking, so really having the cooler card, lower power, and lower noise is worth the literally almost 2FPS average difference.
Anyways, interested to see how far you get with your settled Cyberpunk OC. Once I get my block I do intend to push it, but until then I rather keep the Mem Temps as low as possible.
I asked the same thing on the previous page.
Unfortunately I also did not get a notification today that it shipped, I was hoping I would because I have reason to think I was around the 9th person or so to order, I also knew in advance, but had to play transfer the money around before ordering, so I know a few people beat me to the punch.
However, not to be an apologist for Optimus, just trying to view the situation in the best possible light, which I understand may be hard to do considering, but I always try to, and its likely that today was spent putting together the blocks and QC Testing. Most likely tomorrow we will start to see some of us getting those shipped notifications. I don't know how many cards are in the first batch, but I don't think its a stretch to assume that most, if not all the cards will be sent out by this time next week, and hopefully we will all be reporting here that our card is on the way, so we will know.
Fingers Crossed 🤞🏽
