7990 overheating

[-iSynthesis]

Sell it and buy something better...

The 7990 is still one of the strongest single pcb cards out there... Why get something new that will beat any single gpu card?

Because the 7990 is a horrendously engineered monstrosity that puts two induction heaters on one PCB creating massive amounts of heat, sucking up your power/money, and really not performing up to the price.

It has about 7 gflops of single precision compute power, which is just 1gflop below a titan z. And your statement is far from educated. "Induction heaters" if nvidia would make gpus that are on par with amds compute performance, theyd suck just as much heat . Also, a 7990 is about 600 euro here, which is a nice price for a monster like the 7990. And he already has it, so why get something else

7gflops? Well that's pathetic...The titan Z can do 8 TERAflops...

 

Plus all nvidia GPUs use way less power than AMD...which is why they remain cooler, and overclock better. Just look at linus' reviews. He has to put an AMD graphics card outside in the morning where its below 5 degrees ambient to get a good overclock on the 290

sry, wrong info. "It has about 7 gflops of single precision compute power, which is just 1gflop below a titan z." - http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2013/2013042701_AMD_launches_Radeon_HD_7990_graphics_card.html

Cant find any info on the Titan Z though.

Also, the r9 290x isa different story than 7000 line of gpus. A 295x2 will give you about 5.6 TFlops to begin with the Flops again^^. Of course its gonna draw more power than any nvidia card. And i know Nvidia cards are awesome for overclocking. My 580 went up to 930MHz on the core, while stock is like 783MHz.

Edit: r9 290 will do 4.9 TFlops

i think i have solved it. the card cant push upwards because i have blocked it with the card because it goes under the drivecage and about 1-2cm beyond under it. or am i out in deep water here?

I own a 7990, and one problem I had with it is that the cooler would blow the hot air in the direction of its own intake, so when gaming (or mining when it was profitable) it would recycle its own hot air, and get to 90 degrees in gaming (mining with a closed case would be suicidal). My solution was ghetto mounting two fans from the rear of the case below the gpu, to give the card dedicated airflow. it still idles at 40-45c but it doesent go over 70 in gaming.

So make sure your gpu isnt reusing hot air.

what case are you using? any tips how to mount?
