I'm either going to block it or get an air filter and flip the fan for even more positive pressure.

the short circuit you described is pretty great if you run a CLC in the front. I have 3 fans in the front with the top two pulling air through the CLC and the bottom blowing air directly on the GPU

Maxwell Adams posted:I've been doing some testing, and I'm convinced that directing some airflow right at your GPU fans is The Correct Way To Cool A GPU. Testing my RX 580 with Furmark, it gets up to 67° C with the fans at full speed. This is in a Thermaltake V21 cube case in my chilly New England apartment, so it's in pretty good shape without tweaking, although it does make about 50 dba of noise. I have more experience with this than I should. It boiled down to "some like it, some dont". For example, Gigabyte coolers (3 fan orange accent common on Pascal cards) actually get hotter with a fan pointed at it, where as a Evga SC2 cooler ate it up and ran cooler in the same exact scenario. But a fan pointed at the side of the Gigabyte cooler worked where the Evga cooler did not. Both open air coolers of a similar general design, so it boiled down to aerodynamic voodoo. Could also see pretty dramatic differences if you moved a fan 1 inch away. Or not! Some cards run better with no airflow whatsoever to make it as confusing as possible!

Maybe we should be cutting holes in our desks and dumping all the hot air downwards through that hole. It would have the benefit of keeping your legs nice and warm. 1gnoirents posted:I have more experience with this than I should. It boiled down to "some like it, some dont".

But a fan pointed at the side of the Gigabyte cooler worked where the Evga cooler did not. Both open air coolers of a similar general design, so it boiled down to aerodynamic voodoo. See, this is why I want to get one of those aftermarket GPU coolers. They all have a nice space under them where hot air can get blasted out. I used my finger to try and find where the hot air was escaping my XFX card, and it seemed like most of it was leaving from the far end of the card near the power connections. That's the worst place for it to go, because then my air intakes are going to blow that hot air right back at the card, as well as my cpu heatsink! That's probably why my CPU temps go up a bit when I do a GPU stress test. Before I go that far, though, I'm going to try taking the fan shroud off the card and strapping on a couple of decent fans. I know I'll get better results, but I'm curious to see exactly how much better it can be.

Don't expect max settings in everything though. What CPU? Or do the Vive and 1070 deal. Slightly more power, competitive price to rift if you're in the upgrade and need headset club.

The rumor about Vega rebates expiring on the 4th appears to be correct, all in-stock Vega 56 cards have jumped back to $500+.  (except for one XFX SKU on Newegg - if you want a Vega 56 in the near future I would suck it up and pay the extra $30 and don't dawdle about it)  So yeah, pretty much just a blatant scheme to manipulate reviews while the 1070 Ti was launching.

I'm still confused about those. I've been told elsewhere that I was viciously slandering AMD for calling this price manipulation, and that these rebates were because stores refused to sell them at the price AMD wanted, so AMD dug in and gave them $100 of free money to not charge that to the consumer instead. (Naturally, whether this is because AMD's price strategy leaves retailers in red ink by following their guidance is never discussed.)

All the leaks I have seen from the board partners have indicated that the Vega chips are so expensive, along with the board itself being expensive because Vega is such a power hog, that it's impossible to hit the MSRP without losing money, thus the rebates.

My take is “I don’t worry about it unless it’s moving the fans off center and causing buzzing.” Your GPU isn’t going to snap in half.

But I haven't seen return stats for bendy cards so I don't know for sure how much more likely it kills them, or not. For sure it would amplify the effects of thermal cycling. But whether it would manifest in however long you want to actually use a card, don't know. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Nov 5, 2017 |

There are other similar systems you can get that aren't lasercut plexiglass. Galax has that neat tentpole thing that comes with their HOF cards. I've seen similar generic systems as well. Personally, I just got a card with a backplate and said good enough.

Well, not tried... After board partners sold 480s at temporary launch pricing, some with half the RAM disabled, I’m guessing AMD is just as thoughtless about retail stores. When it comes to GPU pricing, they just seem to think board brands and stores should help them reach customers from the goodness of their hearts.

Newegg finally has Vega 64 in decent stock, if still slightly higher than MSRP. As such, it was time to trade out the Fury X with a Vega 64 Liquid to drive a 3440x1440 75 Hz FreeSync. Physically, the Vega is considerably longer than the admittedly squat body on the Fury X, but the LEDs and brushed aluminum look is rather striking and makes you somewhat forget it's running nearly the length of your case. Having tested it for the weekend I can say it really holds up well at that resolution - games like PUBG, Vermintide, Prey and Total Warhammer glide in the FreeSync range and look butter smooth at High/Ultra. Conversely, while the Fury did beautifully with EyeFinity and 1080p games, it started to show bottlenecking at 3440x1440 with dips into 30-40 fps in the heaviest scenes of modern AAA titles. On the power side, I'm quite happy with the way it idles at 33-50 mhz and ambient temp (26 C), pulling a system total of 100-110W with the 6700K. At load it dynamically scales around 1600-1650 mhz, with temps at ~56 C and 400-450W system draw. That might bother some people, but since my rig is sitting a few feet from a 1500W space heater running full tilt from now until late spring, I'm not terribly concerned. Overall, very happy with the pickup, now it's just a matter of time to grab a 4K FreeSync TV and/or pick up that Alienware 240 Hz TN panel. Only sticking point is that Fallout 4 couldn't break 36 FPS in either menus or games, but the GPU tachometer fluctuated wildly as if it weren't at load, so I'm guessing a CPU bottleneck.

AMD may actually have some volume here. I wonder if this is another big batch - surely AMD can hear the same rumors about launching a 1070 Ti, and they contractually probably need to be producing for Apple and the compute market soon anyway. Actually come to think of it, I'm real curious whether this second batch will still allow V56 to work properly with a V64 VBIOS and hit the same RAM clocks and all that poo poo. A lot of the value proposition of Vega 56 has been predicated on that, and AMD has done the whole "first batch is soft-locked premium cards, later batches are actually gimped for real" thing before.

So nvidia just needs to re-release the 1070ti with a 15MHz core clock bump rebranded as the 1080LE at the same price in six weeks to troll AMD and force them to do another round of rebates.

So, uh, the Wall Street Journal is reporting (non-paywalled copy on /r/amd) that Intel will be releasing CPUs with AMD-derived integrated graphics, confirming rumors that have been circulating for the past year or so. Apparently they will be targeting the "gaming laptop" market with higher performance than the current Ryzen Mobile chips (which have 8-10 Vega CUs).
