Many thanks man!!! Waiting for the card to arrive and then install and enjoy.

Man..... GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE!!!! YESS, I have the box, manuals and other cables and I read the information in the manual several times but this specific info where it says 2 connectors per cable, total 4 connectors made me confused somehow hahahaha And, just a last question if you don't mind, should I use these 2 outputs, alright? One for each of the PCIe 8-Pin cables: Thank you in advance!!

Hello Guys, I didn't find any other topic / thread with this doubt, so I think I'm too dumb.... My current setup which has a GTX1070 and TX650m PSU currently uses single 8-Pin connector. The new RTX3070 I bought from MSI uses 2x 8-Pin connectors. The 8-Pin cable from this PSU has 2 8-Pin connectors. Is this intended to connect to both 8-Pin connectors from this card? What is the purpose of this splitter that comes with the TX650m? I'm posting below an image of the cable that comes with the PSU:

Wow many thanks. I'm new to overclock world, you know so I don't wanna mess with this... But I acutally wants to tell my board, do achieve 4.5ghz on the processor and the board does that for me by using the asus tuning profiles or changing some technical setting things that is needed to achieve that. So, thank you again for the helpful answer!!

Hello man, how are you? I have just a little doubt. If overclock my i5 8600k from 4.3 to 4.5 or more, will I ruin my intel warranty? Do you know something about it? Thank you again.

Yes Bro, Thank you very much! I also setted some more agressive profiles regarding Fans and cooling, and I got temps a lot better. Not much better for the processor, I got it to work at 55c, maximum of 61c, but for the VGA, now it is getting 71 / 72 on 100% load. Here is VGA profile for the fans: This curve setting saved more than 10c on high load at a cost of fan high speed noise (which I don't care haha).

Yes. Processor at 100%, 4.3ghz, gets 60c. The VGA, when running in 99% load, no overclock it gets 70 to 82c, depending on the game, quality and res. But I believe that is fine as it is an itx build. I "modded" the left side of the chassis, removed the small fan that comes with thr chassis, and put a 120mm fan just on the left side of the board and facing the dimms. I changed the chassis fan on the bios tomwork as turbo settings, so it will run at 60%, when the chassis gets 40c+. And then increase as the temp gets higher. Pump and radiator fan are standard settings. I think I got good results even I know I need a good work to be done regarding cable management in this chassis. But I'll enjoy the machine a bit right now as I was so excited to finish this build. And then take care of cables some time in the future. I forgot to tell, I made some dust filters for air intake on all the chassis vents. I know that it may reduce the airflow, but it will avoid dust to enter and get stuck on the components doing them to work even hotter. I'll check the dust after a month using the machine, and then see if it was worth the efforts haha

Hello my friend, so Im back again. Finished my build. These are my temps on the processor at 4.3ghz Many thanks for all yout help provided. Now I'm going to run some hardware tests and benchmark to see if everything is fine, and that is it. Thank you!

Hello my Bro, I came back here just o tell you those chips I measured the temp were really PWMs. I didn't find any PCB datasheet from this card to identify the kind of the component, but I confirmed with a video I found on youtube. I thought it would be interesting so I came here to share it with you as you got involved with my concerns about those temps.. (and thank you again for your help, point of view and explanations ). - >

Thanks Bro! I'll finish my build then I come back here to post photos and results. And I probably will record some video and put it in my channel. Many thanks!

This is to come a new build, I tested the game Warface on Ultra 1080p, Components worked between 60-80, but high at 80 were moments. I think the benchmark is a 100% stress in all the areas of the card and due to that I think it is like uncommon while gaming. Because I monitored the GPU, and even while gaming and getting 100% on the GPU, I didn't see those temperatures going on. Maybe it can be related to memories, or the use of it. And I'm kinda satisfied with results while gaming.

Hello friend, I measured from the back of the card.It is an ASUS gtx1070-OC dual. I actually don't think they are really VRMs, but more like PWMs, and capacitors. I know they are components made to support more than 100 degrees, but I have some concern by the measure I did. About the case I tested, it is not that good, and it is a micro ATX FF, small but big enough to fit the card in (enough but at the limit of the space I can say). Here is a pic of the components I measured, where the ones more at the right side on the pic, are the ones I saw high temps as I said. I also measured the tubes from the heatsink which didn't show anything more than 60. Actually, by the little electronic research I made, the thing that really gets hot are the power components not actually the GPU, due to the fact it is cooled by the heatsink, while the VRMs from the front sometimes use thermal pads, but depending on the card / device, they use nothing.

Hello bro, I came back just to say my gtx1070-OC dual arrived, and I tested on another old PC I have (Pentium dual with Asrock gm31) and I found that the back of the card (where some PWMs, VRMs, and more are soldered) really really gets hot. So I think I'll really need some way to dissipate this heat from the back of the card, firstly to maintain its life-cycle extended and also to avoid any overheat inside the chassis... I'm telling this because I measured some components (with a digital infrared thermometer) from the VGA while it was running a benchmark, and some of the VRMs got 90 to 94 degrees in 100% load operation (without any overclock). I think I really will need to put the front 12mm cooler sending the air to inside of the chassis, however this air will enter cooling the CPU radiator which will be right after the front 12mm fan and will enter a bit warm. I don't know how much this air will be warm, but for sure it will be less than 94 degrees and may will help to decrease some overheat in the back of the VGA. What do you think? Thanks!

I'm going to find a new position at IBM, but outside Brazil in some years, when some opportunity appears.... Yes, I agree about CPU temps. I believe the VGA will fry more than CPU in this case, and due to that, maybe the CPU gets hotter than it would in a bigger chassis. And due to the fact I saw some people stating the VGA may spreads some air on top of the motherboard, I don't know what will happen... That is actually weird, but let's see what happens when the build gets finished and running. Also, My build won't have lots of accessories, like 2 or 3 HDDs, Optical Drive, or something like these stuff that could increase temp inside the chassis and take up space. I don't know if I'm going to do some tweak in the processor clock speed, but your idea about reducing core / cache voltage is very good, and I believe it will decrease like 5 to 10 degrees than its normal operation per my knowledge in CPU engineering. I work with big cases and big boys from Lenovo, DELL, IBM, etc, which goes in a CPD rack kkkkkkkkkkk I don't know that much about very small and tiny PC cases hahahaha, even with VGA cards, which is uncommon in Servers. I know the components of a PC I know how to mount, configure, etc the normal knowledge from an IT guy. But tech solutions about issues inside it I really didn't expected before, and now I think I'm getting a bit experienced with hahahahha.. Thank you again man.

Thank you man. I'm going to finish my build soon. Some parts to arrive, others even to buy. When finished I post results here. And many many thanks for your time and help. Because I was getting crazy thinking about temps in this chassi. About a begginer user, well I'm not. I'm an Hw specialist at IBM but, I work with servers with well engineered airflows you know, so I don't worry with air and temps on servers hahahahha. Also servers has a CPD with air conditioning, so... Different from my build in a hot small house in a small itx case hahahh.
