MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC

That Gigabyte card has a super cooler bolted on it.

Hah i wish i had a super cooler on my card. My fan profile is matched to the temps. 50% speed at 50 degrees, 60% at 60 degrees and then 70% from then on. It makes a bit of noise but i don't notice with the headphones on tbh. I also take my card out every month and brush off the dust on the fans with an old toothbrush and blow a hairdryer in the gap between the pcb and the vapor chamber. No big secret lol.

 

[Skud]

What will you say about my cooler then? No vapor chamber or anything. Temps remain at 80C under load despite having a similar fan profile to you. However, OCing is stable at 850/1300 and adds just a degree or two to the load temp.

Rchi these were my measurements yesterday at stock at default fan -
unigine - 60-66
fifa12 - 60

Skud try cleaning the card now.

 

[Skud]

Cleaning as in cleaning the thermal paste and applying afresh or dusting? If the later, then it is in good condition.

Anyway, not loosing any sleep on this. Temps are same since its installation and in line with this model. So no need to worry, I think.

Your 2-fan model is cooler running.

skud dusting as rchi mentioned.

 

[Skud]

Already done 10-11 days earlier. Will do again this weekend.

I'm sure you do it but if you haven't done it recently, clean up the vents on the cabinet. makes a huge difference to the airflow inside. temps go down by 5 degrees or more when you have cleaned out all the dust filters, vents, fans esp the CPU fans where dust balls tend to accumulate like crazy.

 

[Skud]

Actually that's exactly what I have done 10-11 days ago. Give every components as much thorough cleaning as I can.

Would love to see lower temps in my card, but I think it do have limitations regarding this.
