No not really, just good airflow around here :PQuote:

Great card you got there! :up:Quote:

I have a 480 at 800 1600 1900 that runs at 104c +/-3c during extended BFBC2 play. in fairness the fan never really exceeds 44% either.
Someone to answer?Quote:

However, in the stability tests, it never occurred problems, no blue screen, crash, artifacts. Still, I have to worry about? Remembering that here in Brazil is very hot, about 28 ~ 32ºC today.
When I changed thermal paste (before I got GPU watercooled) temp dropped from around 85 under load to around 80 and all that at around 25ºC room temp. So, considering temp differences, your GPU should not go over 90ºC.Quote:

It would be good if you could disassemble your card and take pictures of thermal paste spread over GPU, so it can be seen if it has a good contact.
You could also check you heatsink's flatness using razor blade this way. GPU should be perfectly flat, as I have never seen anybody reporting otherwise.
I do not really understood what you meant in that sentence because my understanding of English, but what would be the "throttling"?Quote:

Here I always changed the thermal paste properly, I think it is not, but you never know.Quote:

I just have a picture of when I opened it, but the thermal paste was placed in the center of a drop gpu, and then spread with a card around.

Throttling is when the gpu automatically decreases you clock speed. This is done to keep your gpu temps under control. That’s why you don’t see any difference in temps between your over clocked gpu and your standard gpu clock speeds. Maybe you could run afterburner while using a benchmark tool and see if your gpu clock speeds are running at your set speed or throttling back the speed to keep your temps under control.Quote:

with the 470 ref heatsink you need to make sure the 4 screws on the heatsink itself are tighten just right for proper contact with the ihs,It looks in the picture that its is not.
107c with the fan at 80% or above does not sound right if your airflow is ok or ambient temps are not too high.
My best scores to date.

Great score even better temps those DD blocks must be sweet
nice scores in here guys

Bought it off someone 3 days ago. That's on the stock cooler that it came with.
Can't wait for it to get here!
68C @ 1.175 - where does this guy live?Quote:

It's a 465 GE flashed to a 470, badass full copper cooler.
Ahh, didn't see that it was a 465/470.Quote:

What program did you use for voltage and overclocking?(MSI AB extreme?)
How far did the card go?
since i killed my other 480 i took it easy on my good 480.Quote:

little surprised not to find a single result for MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II. Expecting this to land here sometime next week (its shipping from Hong kong sometime this week ). Cant wait to start benching it.
