980 TI Temperature

[xGear]

Hi, I am looking at a new system and am curious about a 980 ti on a reference cooler, I had a 780 ti and it tended to get pretty hot and so I was wondering if the 980 ti has any cooling issues. Cheers, Ben.

980Ti is the same/worse. Get a non reference cooler, end of.

It's the same cooler as the 780ti, so it does run hot.

Thanks, the problem is, the system I want is already built and has a reference 980 ti, should I leave it then?

If you can change it for a MSI/EVGA one, it would be nice.

Thanks everyone, this is the system the card is in and not sure whether to buy it or not, what does everyone think?

The system is still very good, and it seems to be a good price.

 

I would get it, and maybe watercool it later on if the temps become a large issue.

 

Edit: not really sure why he called it an alienware

[don_svetlio]

Why? Lol

Alienware

CX600

1000 fucking euros

[Firestrike]

Why? Lol

Yeah the CPU is watercooled so the air is nice and cool for the GPU. Better stick with this setup.

What are you on about?

[don_svetlio]

What are you on about?

No warranty, low quality PSU, worst 980 Ti, too expensive

I'm hoping to pull it for £900 so should I go for it?

Its not alienware.

The psu is bad, yes, but ti can be replaced for not that much money.

reference nvidia cards wont catch fire or anything

its 1000 pounds, and that dose not seem too bad for a system with a 980ti

Considering you can build a better system WITH a warranty attached to it for that much I do not feel okay recommending it

[Lord_Karango17]

Wait, its a bid starting at 1000 pounds. you wont get it for any lower than that price.

What's wrong with the power supply, I thought corsage were good??

its a good pc for the money though, only the CX600 is sad, swap that for an XFX or EVGA

CX series are not meant for these kinds of workloads.

Don't worry about price, I have already been talking to the guy and just work to the figure of £900 on your head

[Lord_Karango17]

the cx series is not very good. I have one and it has not caught fire yet as many people say it does, but getting a better one for higher end systems is always recommended.

[Lord_Karango17]

you could just replace the cx600 psu with the one you have right now.

[xGear]

Right, so if I can pull it for £900 should I go for it and change the psu sometime down the line? And also, can I even run it on this power supply or not bother until I put a new one in? Thanks
