Mine goes more than 80 degrees until I learn how to configure the fans of the GPUs to run at a constant 80%.
If you use CGminer, you can configure it to have a target speed and control of the fans.

you cen gett good cpu and gpu chip only blocks faly cheap

What is fairly cheap and where are they sold?

Link or it don't exist.

A gpu only block looks no different than a cpu block. I wouldn't recommend it due to the pain in the ass tube routing you have to do. Also you have to get heatsinks for the vrms and ram. I'd recommend a full cover gpu block instead. They cost more but the convenience is worth it.

Still, seems like a cheap CPU block is well over $50. With a 3D printer and a copper-plate that can most likely be reduced to a fraction of the cost. (Not minding the cost of the printer itself.)

you can get bloks madeforold chips for aslitle as 13 gbp thn all you needin to make mounting hardwere

just look on ebay thay were amd xp somthigs i cant rember

to save clutering this thred 

http://s1315.photobucket.com/user/zackclark70/library/

please rember that the picks are the 3 card rig that is my test setup not the actual fineshed rigs but it does cool just aswell as the others

You may have your reasons, but I think it seems strange to have a watercooled CPU in a mining rig...

Are they all like that, or did you convert a previous build?


i just dont have a cpu heatsing and backplate for that motherboard lol also its my gaming pc / test rig


Then it makes sense :-)

I am waiting to make a combined mining/gaming rig in the basement. Just waiting for the extention cables and risers. ;-)
If I had access to a CNC, I would probably have made watercooling for the CPU/GPU's

Hmm, when I get a 3D printer(sometime in the future), I guess it should be doable to make DIY waterblocks using small copper plates glued together with printed top-parts. -But that will be another discussion Tongue

For me, a 5mhz increase comes at a sweet spot where it comes with a 5°C increase. Go from 1000 to 1005 on the 7970 and it jumps from 83 to 88. Not good.

However, AMD says these things run stable at 90-92 as maximum temperature target. They are supposed to take peaks of 105. So 85-88 should theoretically not damage them
Could you link us to some readable material from AMD?

I use 2 sapphire reference 7970 on my Water cooled system, so mining Bitcoins i got 720/730 Mhs in --gpu-engine 1180.
My temperatures are allways under 60º (44º-53º).
Also have 12 5830s, they are just runing with air cooling system so they are in --auto-gpu 68º all time, nice fan speeds.

Been running my GPUs undervolted and underclocked, so they're nice and cool below 70 C.

i never let my cards go over 60c core 80c vrm 7950 vapor x 55% fan max air output temp 38c air intake maximum 30c

i run my rigs in boxes not crates ( i have 20 rigs of 4 7950s and 1 rig with 3 ) geting 630kh / card at 1050/1250   at 1.050v  ( 875-950w /rig )


Please post pics. I've gotta see this setup  Grin

I typically set my target temperature at 70, overheat at 75, cutoff at 80.  I use a window fan to cool each rack of six cards ($25 at Target, worth it).
My cards are overclocked to around 1200 MHz, too.

the fan must use like 40w i only use 3 x 1.2w 120mm fans per 4 cards

It does use a lot, but the 120mm ones I've tried couldn't move enough air.  Temps were too high for my taste...
