Like the title, I want to know which has better overall cooling: Gigabyte's Windforce 2X or EVGA's ACX 3.0, both with two fans. The cards are nearly identical in specs otherwise and cost the same. Card in mind: 1050 Ti

Hey fellas, I bought my EVGA GTX 760 SC W/ ACX, as soon it's been released back in 2013 I guess. For past one year or so, I can no longer play games DotA 2, CS: GO, Rocket League, BF4 at max settings. I used to play those above mentioned games with ease at max settings, nowadays I cannot, games keep on getting crashed if I play at max, but temps are normal only. If I tune down settings, I can play without crashes, any clue what's the problem? How can I fix it? What might be causing the problem? Never tweaked (OC'ed and never messed w/ settings) my GPU, each and every time I do a clean install GPU driver. PC Specs: Processor: Intel i7 6700k MB: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming MB CPU Cooler: Hyper 212x Ram: 16 Gigs Corsair Vengeance Case: Phanteks P400s Case Fans: 3* 120mm CM SickleFlow X as intake and 3* 120mm TT Ring 2.0 SP for exhaust PSU: Seasonic 850 Watt Bronze Please help me bois, ty in advance.

as the title says what is the difference between those two

I figured out a quick way to keep a phone from overheating. Thoughts?

I have ordered and paid for a EVGA GTX 1070 ACX 3.0 but its been 3 weeks waiting and its still not shipped to the retailer. I chose it because it was $579 CAD, but they have IN STOCK both the SC ($619) and FTW versions ($639) and am wondering if I should just spend the extra or wait. ugh it seems crazy my version is apparently the unicorn where the more expensive ones are stocked high.

I currently have an EVGA GTX 760 SC ACX, and I was wondering if I should upgrade to the EVGA GTX 1070 FTW (or equivalent EVGA OC'd card) when it comes out so i can run my games like DayZ, Arma 3, Rust, and other games at over 60+Fps while completely maxxed out fullscreen (1080p). thanks!

I will soon be getting a new GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0, to replace my fossil of a GPU (an MSI GT 440), and I had a question about how I must set things up. My system has an EVGA SuperNova 750 B2, and as I've noticed, the GPU has an 8-pin and a 6-pin power ports. The modular cables that came with my PSU are two 6-pin or 8-pin connectors. Due to the processor and MB I currently have (an i5 3330 and an Asus P8B75-M/CSM) I won't be overclocking anytime soon, but I want to make sure I connect it properly. Should I get power though both the 6-pin and 8-pin ports? Or will either of them suffice? Thanks for the help!

So I have a GTX 780 with the acx cooler on it and I want a blower style cooler for my small case (evga hadron air) but it's difficult to buy just the reference coolers without buying a new whole card. I found a Titan X cooler on eBay but I don't know if all the thermal pads and heatsink would line up. Does anyone know? I checked around the internet and haven't found anything. Alternative does anyone know where I could get a blower style heat sink for my GTX 780?

I have a EVGA GTX 780 ACX FTW and was wondering what backplate will fit on it? Will the basic EVGA 780 backplate fit? Also, what is the best way to fix gpu sag? thanks -
MSI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127889&cm_re=msi_gtx_980ti-_-14-127-889-_-Product EVGA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487142 In terms of specs, they're very similar. IMO the MSI one looks better. I'm not sure which company is more reliable, though I've heard great things about EVGA. What do you guys think? Edit: I'm worried about reliability and (if it fails) customer service more than anything. I've heard EVGA is great but haven't heard much about MSI one way or the other. -
Hey guys, would like some info on if painting my future gtx 980 will affect the RMA and thermal capability of the coolers and fans and so on. Thanks, I also want to paint it white. Not sure what paint is perfect for the job but plasti-dip has been recommended.

I currently have an EVGA gtx 970 SC ACX (http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-2974-KR) I now want to run it in SLI. What type of cooler should I go for with the second card. Thinking about heat in the case. What arrangement should I put the cards in. (i.e. reference on top, acx underneath?) Should I be going for an aio cooler for my cpu to keep the case cooler. Do I need additional case fans. Any other blaring mistakes in my parts list, feel free to point them out. (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8wq9mG) Just to be clear, I have already purchased one 970, that can't be changed. (I know this was dumb but ah well)

Hello, it's me again. I've had one temperature problem before, and someone told me to replace the thermal paste. So I've done that and the temps dropped around 10 degrees on the card, which I thought was great. The paste I used is Arctic-MX4. But after some time, the temperature went back to really high levels and that was only like a month after the thermal paste change.. I thought that I might've applied too little or something, so I opened the card, cleaned the paste that was there, and applied a new one. Temperatures dropped again by 10 degrees and everything was working smooth, for barely a week however. Now, the temperatures are stupid high again and I don't know what to do else.. I've used this exact same paste on my CPU and it works great for over half a year now. The temps go over 80 degrees in games, which seems pretty high, especially with the acx cooler. I know that airflow is not the problem because if I change the paste it works great for few days again. I'm kinda lost here now, thanks ! The gpu is EVGA ACX GTX 770 and I've got 4 fans in my case zalman z11. One intake in front, one fan pushing fresh air straight to the gpu, and one fan in the back and one on the top of the case as exhaust. Thanks for any help.

Hi, So I'm in the market for a 980 Ti and I would like to buy from EVGA. They're a company I trust and I like their warranty etc. I'm just undecided on which model I should go for. I know that I don't want reference design and I don't have a custom loop (and don't plan to get one for a few years unless I win the lottery) so all reference and hydro designs are out. That leaves the ACX 2.0 cooler style or the Hybrid AIO cooler. I already have a Corsair H110i GT for my CPU, so I'm happy to install another AIO, but which would be better? For reference, my case is a 750D with the H110i GT installed in the top, 1x140mm rear exhaust and 2x140mm front intake, leaving 2x120mm spaces on the bottom (although they're unfiltered), one of which is taken up by the hard drive caddy, but could be moved I suppose. I'm a little reluctant to put the 120mm rad as a rear exhaust (in push, I think), considering I can have a 140mm there, but if you don't think it'll cause problems then maybe I should just do it? Of course, that depends on whether you think it's worth it to go for the Hybrid model, or if I should just go with ACX. Let me know what you think please

Hi guys, I was just wondering if i could get some comparisons on the temperatures of your gtx 980 ti cards. Mine sits at 44 degrees with the fans at 30% when not under load. I just thought this seems quite warm to say all i am doing is browsing the internet. Your thoughts and opinions would be great as this is my first high end pc set-up. Thanks.

I was thinking of getting 2 of these bad boys (EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC ACX 2.0) and sli-ing them until some said that the bottom card's exhaust will go into the top card's intake, and it will cause the cards to overheat. Is it true? I haven't seen any articles or Youtube videos about this issue. If anyone here has any knowledge please feel free to share it. Thanks alot. -
Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me with overclocking my evga gtx 970 ssc acx 2.0 (what a mouthful). I've been using evga's precision x16 overclocking tool and furmark as a stability test and i just cant get very high over clocks at all. I've read online that most people are easily getting 1400mhz+ on the core clock with stock voltages, meanwhile i cant get past 1390mhz (with stock or increased voltages) without a crash. I've tried everything from increasing/decreasing my voltage, power limits, core clock and temperature limits and i just cant seem to get a decent clock on this thing. If it matters at all my card has an asic rating of 70.9% which i thought sounded pretty good. If anyone can offer me any help or assistance with getting some extra juice out of this thing it would be much appreciated, thanks heaps in advance to everyone who offers me help and feedback on this. Cheers, Hodge22

As the title says, which card should I get, a 980Ti reference or ACX 2.0? I really like the reference design, but I'm worried about thermal throttling and the noise of the blower fan under load, will the reference cooler be much louder than the ACX? Here's my build: Motherboadrd: Asus Z97I-PLUS CPU: Intel i7 4790K CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866 MHZ PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS Fan 1 (Intake): Corsair AF140 White LED Fan 2 (Exhaust): 120mm Case: BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Black PS. What do you think about my build? I still don't have it yet it's still being shipped, but I can provide photos after all the parts arrive.

So I've been stable with: +80 mV +90 mhz 110% power limit I don't see why I had to raise the core voltage so high to keep 90 mhz stable, am I doing something wrong or is my card just a bad overclocker? (I'm also keeping in mind that this was factory overclocked, I just want to push it more.) Good news: low airflow case and getting ~68 degrees C

Ok so i was looking around for non-reference 980's because i would like to find the best one for me. I was looking at 2 cards; the Asus Strix 980 and the EVGA Superclocked ACX 2.0. Now i was looking at these cards and found that the Evga card has a faster core clock rate and a lot faster boost clock rate. Now obviously it says superclocked in the title of the Evga card but i was wondering if someone could tell me exactly how evga got the card to get the clock rates that high? Because all i want to know is did they just overclock the card a little bit and say that their fans make it cool enough for it to be that high or are the fans actually keeping it that cool. Because i will be overclocking my card i want to be able to overclock it a lot and i would like the core clock rate to be as high as possible but if they just overclocked it a bit, saved the settings, and put it in a box than ship it to you than i dont want this card because i know how to overclock it myself. I am looking for a card that is untouched but has the highest clock rate. If you could please explain what they did to the card than that would be great, and also tell me what you think about the Asus card and the Evga card. Also tell me what you think is the best one/has the coolest temp./has the highest clock rate/highest overclocked rate. Thank you

So while browsing through my local classifieds (kijiji) for a good deal on a gpu for my first ever rig, I came across some really good deals.. Considering that I planed on getting an EVGA card with their ACX cooler so that could paint the shroud and add a backplate too, I found two cards that would fit the bill at really nice prices and even the option to buy two of each card as the sellers had two cards (different sellers) I thought who better to ask than the LTT forum for their opinion and which they would buy Options (All with EVGA's ACX cooler their SC editions, all 2GB GDDR5 versions, and all in CAD prices) GTX 760 for $100 GTX 760 in SLI for $250 (different seller from the one above) GTX 770 for $200 GTX 770 in SLI for $350 In my mind, the single 770 for $200 makes the most sense and is a really good deal considering that $200 would get you an r9 270(x) or a GTX 750ti if you bought brand new from a chain store like NCIX. However the single 760 has the best bang for the buck but won't hold up as long as the 770 in terms of performance/ "futureproof" Which would you buy?

I'm planning on getting a GTX 980 with a Full Cover Waterblock (physical based from EKWB). However I'm unsure what to choose as a base 980. For example the EVGA series has the Superclocked, ACX2.0 and Superclocked ACX2.0. The only difference between all of them is the base clockspeed and boost speeds (and ofcourse the way of cooling, which insn't really significant if you replace them with a waterblock). So my guestion is: What is the impact of higher base clockspeeds when you replace the coolers with a waterblock? Cheers, Gonzo

so here it is, i have an evga gtx 980 ti sc acx and i am wanting to boost it a bit but i am not very clued up on overclocking gpu's, I was wondering who else had one and if they would share their settings and programme used etc. for a safe overclock. thanks in advance.

I pulled my evga 780 ti SC acx out today and noticed some rainbow like coloring on the exhaust bracket around the hdmi port. I monitor my temps with precision x and I have never seen them go above 68 degrees. Is the coloring normal?
