    Corsair Hydro Series VGA Cooling Lucky Draw

    1. Yes but I do not care for the modifications I had to do for a viable product, whereas the HG10 comes complete and doesn't need the modifacitons. 2. Yes if the price difference was only 0-15% higher than doing it myself.

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I use a VGA to PWM adapter to go from the 980 Ti fan port on the pcb to the fan on my h90. Works like a charm and you can use Afterburner or stock NV software to control fan curve. Retains a motherboard fan header if you are in short supply of them also. This is what I am talking about. I...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I am right there with you buddy. The best I can do is 1477 with +27mV and even that doesn't hold after about an hour of gaming/stressing. Sometimes you just don't get lucky with the silicon lottery lol. My ASIC is 65.4%. My temps are stable around 55C at load and I pretty much stick to...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Yeah power is good. I just took out the card and tightened the screws for the AIO it I seem to have dropped about 5-7C so maybe it was not tight enough. I can see the pcb bending slightly on the card now. Going to run it for the next couple days and see how it reacts. I actually got the...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I put the G10 and H90 on my card but I am having some issues. Before with the stock cooler I was stable at 1466 for hours. Now, I will get a driver crash after about an hour with the same overclock. My core temps in AB cap out around 60-61C with my custom fan curve. My setup is: the H90 is...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Got my card in today. I am still waiting on a vga to pwm cable before I slap the G10 on so that gives me a couple more days to stress test it on air. The cooler is actually pretty quiet but man does this card heat up fast. I am stable at 1466/8000 on air with +0mV and a fairly aggressive fan...

    MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB

    Barring a few game outliers Fury X was generally considered to be within single digit % performance with 980 Ti. The problem, to enthusiasts (which is would buy a $650 card), is that the 980 Ti overclocks very gracefully and that has not been the case with Fury X so far. That may change with...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    About how much clearance between the G10 bracket and the midplate over the VRAM? Curious since you took off the foam spacers, and I was thinking about putting some heatsinks on that midplate. Also how high were you able to click your VRAM?

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Let me know how it goes! I am curious if you will need a shim or longer screws. Are you planning on keeping the midplate and VRM plate? Backplate? My card and G10 will all be here Monday, but I don't plan to put it all on until I have had a couple days to stress test the card. I would hate...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Well they turned my order over to be filled by the manufacturer/distributor so maybe that is why...they didn't fill it. It is getting shipped from CA, no NY where they are located. This is at the bottom of the shipping email: Looks like I will not be receiving it until Monday. Not sure why...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Yeah going to go with H90 and use the saved $ to pick up some copper heatsinks to place on the midplate over the VRAM. Should help increase surface area from the flat plate in that area, as the VRM already have a finned plate. Probably won't order all that until a week after I have played with...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I ordered on Sunday when it said delivery 7/10 and I got an email this afternoon that they sent my order to the manufacturer/distributor and my order would come direct from them. Then at about 8pm tonight I got another email that said my order shipped. Not sure how mine shipped faster than...

    Wanting a non-reference 980 Ti

    MSI and Corsair will be making a hybrid card with an AIO cooler that should be pretty quiet. I believe it is coming in August if you can hold out that long.

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I ordered on BH as well...tempted to cancel it and order from NE but tax on a $680 purchase as well as the other items to apply the G10 bracket is a solid reason to keep away from the cancel button. If one of you remove the heatsink on your card, let me know if the G10 can fit without a shim!
