You're making a load of extra noise for absolutely no reason. 30c is absurdly low, most cards don't even turn on the fans at all until 60-67c these days.

Crossposting from the parts thread, since hey, we have a dedicated GPU thread!


It seems that the EVGA SC card might have problems, so I should be looking at the Gigabyte?

I have that case. Its hard to imagine any two slot cooler (ie standard) not fitting in this case. Here is a pic of a G1 1070 in mine, notice how much space is left height and length. I assume by width you're talking the length, 4.8 inches or whatever is just wrong (or maybe thats the max length if you put a hard drive in the same bay).



Also fat/tall MSI twin frozer coolers fit as well, although its cutting it close, it fits and is no harder to pop in than any other card in this case.

The only fitment issue would be cards wider than 2 slots, those wont fit at all.

Whelp, I'm glad I have an EVGA card. My 1070 just shat itself somehow. I was only playing shenzhen i/o and when I came back to my computer after getting a drink, it had shut down. Something seems to be shorting out, since the psu clicks a relay when I tried to turn on the computer, and it takes a few minutes to click again, suggesting a fuse got tripped or something. I highly doubt voltage regulators would be the issue for a 2D game :v:

Get your :tinfoil: hats on. Nvidia added telemetry to the latest drivers/GFE.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/nvidia_adds_telemetry_to_latest_drivers_heres_how_to_disable_it.html

Don't use the tool from Major Geeks. You can use the tools Windows provides to accomplish the same thing.

Start off by opening Services. You can either type it into Cortana or navigate to the Windows Administrative Tools folder.

Then scroll down till you find Nvida NetworkService Container. Right click it and select Properties.

Next to where it says Startup Type: click the drop down menu and select Disabled.

Follow the same instructions for NVIDIA Wireless Controller Service.

Now you'll need to open Task Scheduler. You can either type it into Cortana or navigate to the Windows Administrative Tools folder.

Once you've opened Task Scheduler open the Task Scheduler Library in the left window.

You should see several tasks from Nvidia in the center window. Delete them by right clicking and selecting delete.

This will probably have to be done every time you update your drivers. While you're in Services you should disable SSDP Discovery and UPnP Device Host as well. They're security risks.

I have no loving clue. Luckily, I had upgraded my PSU recently so I still had my old one as well as my old 970 I could troubleshoot with. It's definitely the GPU since both PSUs refuse to run with the 1070, and both run peachy smooth with the 970.

I am so confused by this. The Twin Frozr 1070 has a width of 5.5", well wider than the 4.8" that the case says is the max. Guess I should be emailing SilverStone about this, since it doesn't seem like a GPU issue so much as a specific case issue.

I see what you mean. They are using width in place of height lol. That's just confusing and wrong on their part.

The real maximum width is much less than 5 inches, but they don't list that value at all. That doesn't matter very much though of course. Just don't buy one of the crazy wide ones

Made me dig for this pic but here's my case back when I had a 980ti. Different gen but its the same dimensions. Now that I think about it you may have to remove this tiny plastic "corner brace" to fit that one. No more than 2 obvious screws and I quote corner brace because this case has absurd bracing from the unreal amount of screws. The brace is not required for anything

Yes its an excellent design in terms of layout. The biggest issue I have with the case is I feel like somebody was tasked with making the case actually fit together, but was an idiot who couldn't figure it out and simply said "add more screws".

I mean it works just fine but its pretty inelegant how the panels actually fit.

A few other nitpicks. The PSU extension cable was like backwards or something (can't remember specifics now but I sure remember it was annoying to work with). One of the 2.5 inch drive slots is offset slightly for no reason making plugging in the cables very difficult on that one drive. The dust filter over the GPU raised my temp 5 degrees, but I just removed it. Cleaning the GPU chamber is as easy as it gets so its no bother at all.

The pros outweigh the cons however - easily. The chamber separation rules and pretty much everything important is solid. The 90 degree PCIe slot adapter method they use is way more solid than the actual PCIe slot itself on the motherboard. The layout is magic. It doesn't run like the oven you think it would. CPU coolers even at those tiny extremes actually don't make a lot of noise (!). All this and it fits behind my monitor !

I was also interested in the Node 202 but that wasn't released at the time

I installed it from scratch and it looks like the actual telemetry is encrypted but the nvidia/google JS and associated tags in the app and installer aren't.

True, it wouldn't hurt to make it opt-in.

The contents looks pretty much exactly what you'd expect a GPU/driver manufacturer to want to know: hardware (CPU, MB, HD, monitor, Windows version), drivers and driver settings, games and their exact versions, and some feedback whether whatever spam they have in the driver has ever had any effect.

Making it opt-in would be the polite thing to do, but as long as that is what they are sending you shouldn't turn this off: this kind of info is a godsend if you actually have to make decisions what to support or focus on during development. The alternative is guessing or listening to the loudest customers who make the most fuss.

Well, I was only wondering what exactly it was sending back and at what security level - if it was unencrypted that's an additional layer of bad. If it's dialing back without asking the user first, people should get annoyed at it.

I know this may be hard to get one's head around the first time around, but bear with me.

In this day and age, data *is* money. Doesn't matter how much or how little, it can always be bent and wielded to make more money.

With just the snippet of data that someone linked to up there? Just as a hypothetical, Nvidia can, once they've compiled it all, and go to studios working on games and say "Hey, look at how many of people who play modern AAA titles are using Nvidia cards. Clearly you've got to compete and use our proprietary effects and slap our branding on your game too!" Because it's a mindshare kind of thing, yeah?

Or, used differently, you can see what games that people on older cards are playing. Nvidia can then go to the people who make those games, say, "Hey, we would like to do a pack-in deal featuring your game! It will give your game increase visibility and drive your playerbase!" then go to market with a promo of a current-gen card that's in the same performance bracket, with a voucher for something for the free game saying, "I mean look, we know you love the game, but you know that performance could be better... why not buy the card and get something for a game you're already playing?"

And it's irrefutable, I mean come on, Nvidia has all this _data_ you're not going to argue with _data_ are you? What kind of blind idiot manager are you?

Either way, it's more money in Nvidia's pocket.

EULA/ToU's have also been repeatedly beaten down in court as something that literally no one reads, or can be reasonably expected to read.

But yeah, not having an option to disable telemetry on a program that NVidia has been clearly trying to push as The One True Way for driver updates et al is a pretty crappy thing to do.

There's a reason most other info-gathering programs have some sort of checkbox for "Help <company> make your experience super better by sharing some info with us!" and it's not just because they're all stand-up guys.
