After rereading my posts, I think the slight confusion came up because of the first use of the word "even" in the first post. I'm not a native english speaker and sometimes tend to word weirdly when I'm a bit tired. Sorry!

GPUOpen is an easy site name to type and remember, and OpenGPU.com was taken, so I don't see the problem there. Fits with the whole FreeSync thing, "free and open".

I'm not a coder so I have no idea if the articles are any good but from a layman PR perspective it seems like a good move for probably not a lot of effort in the grand scheme of things.

It's a ton of effort, but most of it isn't engineering effort.

Assuming you trust the article not to be pulling numbers out of its rear end, we have Fury X2 numbers: http://wccftech.com/amd-fury-x2-12-tflop-compute-vrla-winter-expo/

Seems like it might not be running at full speed, though, with 375W TDP, an undisclosed clock speed, that infuriating stat-per-watt thing again.

At the risk of sounding incredibly dumb: how much of a temperature increase can I expect during summer? Because it's 30ºC right now (86F), and my card is being an rear end in a top hat and spiking to ~82º C.

I had been keeping an eye on it after bit of an overheating issue last year where it had been hitting the same temperatures, but after sorting it out (one of my case fans was on backwards but I replaced the thermal paste just in case), it had been peaking at ~70~71 tops during summertime (25-30C), so I'm not sure why under the same circumstances I'm now getting 10 more degrees. :(

What card?

Environment seems to be 1:1 for temperature increases for me. You can expect that at the very least, and its possible it can "run away" too. I'd try to figure out if something is wrong due to the change you noted. Dust in the fins can be difficult to see but definitely cause serious temperature increases. Also a lot of this depends on the card itself in terms of when it starts to throttle and so on.

It's an Asus GTX660 TI-DC2. I had airblasted my case yesterday when I noticed the temp spike, but I just took the card out and went to work on the fins just in case. A few months ago (November, so mid spring) I overclocked it a bit; the temp was fine at the time but I'm realizing I never had it running overclocked during summer, so that may very well explain what's going on here. I went back to my previous config on the GPU Tweak and I'll keep an eye on it.

If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.
There is nothing wrong with that temperature. The card will boost itself as high as it thinks it can and then throttle back at high temps. You can do a custom fan curve if you want too.

I have it customized, it was ~80~82 with 100% fan speed. That's an acceptable temp? I keep seeing people saying their card is between 60 and 70 whenever I google it.

Are you boosting voltage or anything? 82c @ 100% fan does seem excessive.

It is too high for that card for sure. I actually had that exact card and it would barely be in the low 60's after repasting, low 70's with synthetics. Since you repasted, the low 70's figure you had would make sense since the ambient temp is also 10 degrees higher than it would have been for me. Easiest thing to test is take the side off your case and see if it changes.

Yeah, to be honest I have no idea what the gently caress is going on. I opened the case and was still getting high temps, that's when I took out the card and airblasted it to hell and posted here. After putting it back in I went back on my OC settings:
.
fired Dirt Rally and left it running (99% GPU usage), and I hit 73 but then stayed at 71 for a good 15 minutes.

Confused, I ramped the OC to what I set in November with help from the thread:
clock to 1254Mhz when peaking (94 offset), power target to max (123%), min gpu volt to minimum, memory clock at 6600.
I've just played a good 15 minutes of Mad Max and again, 72 tops.

Maybe I had a bit of weird dust or something, dunno, but it seems to have gone back to normal now. I'm still gonna be paranoid-checking the temperature for the next few weeks though. :v:

It doesn't take a lot of dust to cover the vents inside the heatsink.

I figured out my GPU cooling problem. The cable for the fan was damaged at the connector, such that when it bent it would cut out. It was being bent by the case closing, turning off the rad fans. The leaf blower sound was the VRM-cooling stock fan trying to save itself.

Replaced the extension cable with a new one, 54C at 91% load, much quieter.

Yeah, this happened to me a couple weeks ago. My card was suddenly hitting 90C and when I opened up the case the card had just a small amount of dust on it. After blowing the dust off the temps went back down to the 70s.

Is it normal for coil whine to just get worse suddenly? I found that if I left v-sync off and I went into a menu and my computer was rendering thousands of frames a second, the coil whine would be nuts, but it was never really audible at regular 60-120fps frame rates. Now it's basically always audible.

I know coil whine isn't technically a fault, but have you guys found that it's possible to get cards with bad whine replaced?

Maybe if the coils shake themselves more loose? I could see that happening kind of but I don't know if it does.

Yeah, I have no idea, it's just started being audible all the time, I noticed it while I was playing dragon's dogma where the coil whine was becoming audible if the framerate dropped under 60, which is real weird.

You should be able to work around it with NVIDIA inspector if it hits you, only reason I kept my 970 as long as I did.
