well, if 3 of my fans don't die, I'll feel like I wasted $30
Fucking Troll, And scammer. "goes to the Bulanula corner store, Buys a chocolate bar and pays with a $20bill" "NO CHANGE FOR YOU, YOU OVERPAY, NO REFUNDS, I NOT SCAM I JUST NOT GIB YOU CHANGE BAK"
Ad-hominem attacks do not change the validity of his claims.
As I've said in the other thread, research shows that lower temperatures (a result of increasing fan speeds) results in longer bearing life.
Good to see some mature people on this forum !
Personal attacks are all the rage on trolltalk nowadays ...

Keep your FUDge in your coffee can at home.
Running my fans at 100% for a year now and nothing happened
The ones saying it is not good are just playing a game : tell the fools to run fans at 50% say and have the bearings crack from so much temp so more downtime for them and less difficulty for us !

for the record,
the fans I ordered came from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280800583937
Ordered two on Saturday, got them on Tuesday (!!)...
I know at least the one is working (already replaced the "mostly-busted" fan). I assume the second will, too... probably will order another 4 or 5 from that guy. Most of the other ppl ship from China.

wow thanks for the link. Thats damn cheap and fast shipping.
yeah, i went ahead and bought 2 more, at 3 am yesterday (friday)... and he shipped em out that same day. probably get them on monday, w/ usps working on saturday
i guess with all these fans, maybe i'll just run them at 100% for a while
Running fans at 100% is actually recommended. Gives more air cooling to the bearings so less likely to break or deteriorate
It took me a sec, but I caught the sarcasm. In case anyone else didn't, running fans > 80% has no benefit besides guaranteeing they will be broken in 3 months.

One other factor to consider...
If one is running their cards that hot, they are more than likely over volting considerably to achieve some insane overclocks.....
Unless you are somehow getting free electric, you are going to be paying DEARLY for those extra mega hashes.
There comes a point where one will hit a wall where the voltage needed to achieve more overclock will start to steeply increase the wattage required.
Ones income will actually decrease in relation to their electric bill on top of putting that GPU to an early grave.
A kill-a-watt meter is one of the best $20-$30 investments you can make in a mining venture.

So where core temp and vddc temp here, anyone knows? 62 is gpu, 68 - vddc? And what's the 3rd temp?
The three temps listed are on specific locations, though they vary depending on the graphics chip/card: they are generally the GPU shader temp (usually highest temp), GPU thermal diode temp, and some other "architectural unit" on the chip/board (including VRMs).
I more accustomed to HWiNFO64, because they usually list what those temps mean.

GPUs can run at close to 105C. They won't die at 103C.
Pretty much what I was saying in my post
GPUs can run at close to 105C. They won't die at 103C.
one of my 5970 fans "died" (it was still moving a little bit, it reported 800rpm or something) while I was asleep & when I went in to check on it, GPU #1 was getting about 70mhash/s (and got 30 "invalids", of which I'd had zero in like the month prior), gpu #2 was getting around 150mhash/s (no invalids). gpu #1 was ~103-104oC, gpu #2 was ~101-102oC.
i used to adjust the fans up and down (day/night) but I've gotten lazy recently so I just leave them at 80% 24/7. during the day w/ 90-95o temps and heat index 100o+, they max out at around 72-74oC (running at 810/150 @ 1.010v). i guess room ambient temp is probably around 95o also.
anyway.... yeah, i was shocked to see it still 'running' at >100oC. tbh, I thought they shut down/crashed between 85-90oC. I don't think I've ever seen a temp >80oC until then..
ah, well. i took the card apart, blasted the fan with the kitchen sink spray hose, let it dry, and now it's running again, about 200rpm less than the other 5970 in the same system.... and making those noises that one would associate with a fan that's dying, haha. i'm leaving it going though, cause my replacement isn't due here until thursday =p

My 5830 reaches 95C and then starts throttling itself. I have no idea how he got his 5970 to 103C.
My Double-D XFX 6950s throttle at 103C.
My 5830 reaches 95C and then starts throttling itself. I have no idea how he got his 5970 to 103C.
All cards throttle at a different temp, My 6990 will throttle at 105°
