HD5770 Cooling

[SonDa5]

really, and my system is on a tech bench in a 20C ambient environment. My MSI V1 5770 idles/loads at 27C/60C and the Sapphire V2 idles at 40C/70C. Both retimmed with MX3 and both getting enough air to rule out ventilation. The V1 cooler might be basic, but the design is better by miles just because how the air moves across the sink.

Did you test each card in the same slot with the same configuration 1 card in your case at a time?


Post somce GPU-Z furmark load screen shots if you can.

Got mine a couple of days ago, and was pleased to notice I could put my HR-03 on it as well. Real nice GPU, and a vast improvement over my 8600GTs, and the cooler is quieter during idle than I expected, but that wont be an issue once I get the thermalright on there
Also chuffed to have spanned monitor modes back too. Just waiting for our Samsung 32" 7020 TV and Blu-Ray drive to arrive today, then I'll be a happy bunny

That's surprising. Is that testing the cards individually or in crossfire (I beleieve it's not unusual for crossfired cards to show different temps)?

I'n not sure I agree that the v1 cooler is superior because of the way it blows the air over the sink because the aftermarket coolers I've seen (which are definately an improvement) don't blow the air in the same way.

I guess the picture will become clearer as time goes on and more people post their experiences with these cards, it's still early days.

Crossfire, with in both PCIE positions (MSI in slot one, then Sapphire in slot one) and separately.

Here's a screen for ya that pretty much seals the deal. I'm aware that multi cards show different temps due to a few factors like ari flow, but it's usually GPU1 that takes the hit so this shows the cooler even working better in Crossfire.

the gpu usage is a bit off, 93 vs 99% but that doesn't translate into 19C. That's something that I'll have to look into. Could be a driver issue.

Do you get the same temps if you don't use the two cards at the same time?

[ReverendMaynard]

The MSI card is actually cooler.

[Splave]

thanks rev, glad I bought the v1 coolers on all 4 of the cards I have comming

[ReverendMaynard]

you have 4 on the way? Get your hearing protection sorted before delivery....they're loud lol.

[kiwik]

Thanks ReverendMaynard.

[Meaker]

Are the sapphire and asus coolers the same, they don't look like it to me.

[ReverendMaynard]

Identical reference design for all V2 5770's. It's just the angle.

yeah top secret mission Just testing 4-way out on the new board and antec tpq-1200 def need muffs

[Touche Turtle]

Interesting results there, Rev, and not what I was expecting to see.

Is it the exception or the rule? We'll have to wait and see but if the majority of people come to the same conclusion then Asus will have to be challenged on their claim that the V2 cooler is more efficient than the V1 counterpart as one of their representatives stated on the Bit-tech forums.

Must say I'm very surprised by that result.

[ReverendMaynard]

We need more people with both revisions to really get the gist, but being someone who's been in the industry for years, unless something is failed outright, which the REV1 cooler is not by any means, companies won't just gift out a better cooling solution...they find the cheapest regardless of the performance.

[snoro]

you all made me worry a bit cause i bought a v1 5770 cause i needed a gpu fastly since it was my only parts missing for my build ( damm 5850 that was always out of stock made me go for the 5770 and i am very happy with it). About temperature, when i was running 3dmark vantage, the highest temperature i have seen was 52c and the idle temp is 30c with user defined fan speed in msi afterburner. Was running 960/1440 at 1174 volt with xfx stock bios, now its running at 1174 volt, 950/1350 when i need some extra power in game. In s4 league with 1920x1080 with high detail, it never goes up more than 44c

[ReverendMaynard]

your temps are pretty much exactly how the V1 should perform.

It's more unusual for a company representative to make such a claim that's so easily disproved, though. I mean, to state an improvement had been made when actually the opposite is true would be a pretty stupid thing to do, wouldn't it?

[ReverendMaynard]

You mean this

Hey,

Yes, we've changed the cooler on the cards. You'll find that the new cooler is quieter and provides better temperatures.

You were right about the model code too, the "V2" describes that change of the card and is going to be replacing the original card (In the UK at least).

He also says "we" as in they're the only ones that changed it. It's the design from the 5750, which is a cheaper card. Why would Ati change the cooler? And let's get this straight, Ati changed it, not ASUS ; because it's cheaper to make one kind than two.

Modded D-tek Fusion GFX block

Needed to drill new holes, saw off some edges and reverse the whole mounting procedure, but in the end I managed to get it up and running..

[ReverendMaynard]

very nice keenan.

[Splave]

people see a fat ass heatpipe and get all excited where a silly peice of alu pwns it i love it

[keenan]

very nice keenan.

It looks pants tho, I'd like to make a proper mounting plate, but I'll leave that for the December holidays..

It's is however nice to not hear the turbine cooler speed up

eff the looks keenan, function over fashion any day of the week!

it looks like plated aluminum so I'm sure if was at least copper it would done...better? LOL.

It's not the design from the 5750. If you look closely at a 5750 the heatsink is very different underneath the cover - no heatpipes, just a very regular finned heatsink.

I didn't read it that way. I read it to mean that they had changed the heatsink, which they have.

[ReverendMaynard]

You can read it however you wish but it's all bull too me.
