hi guys quick question, ive recently OC'ed my comp but havent touched the Vid card, its a 285 nvidia GTX, and ive noticed the temps get pretty dam hot, and slowly climbs the longer i play. also read that they do get pretty hot, but have noticed some slowdown once it gets over 70 degrees core temp.

ive noticed that the fan doesnt seem to change speed, should this be an auto thing as standard?

so what ive done is installed riva tuner (which ive found doesnt work with the new drivers properly yet :blink: )

even adjusting the low and high temps etc in riva doesnt change it, if i do a GPU test on it, the temp goes nuts and the fan doesnt speed up.........using riva manually atm. when i play games i set it to 70-80% fan speed and it keeps the card at a nice even temp with any game. (bout 60 degrees)

any ideas what to do? ive tryed speedfan and Riva, neither regulate the fan ;)

285's get to around 80 degrees on full song from memory which is ok, thats where they sit with the stock cooler

What's your case airflor like? That could be another issue to look at at it does help to have some other air flowing over the card

thnx for the reply,

yeah so ive read, with the 80 degrees, and putting it thru an uber bench test it hits about 80, but when gaming those temps tend to slow it down....just wondering why the fan doesnt do more earlier, seems wierd to me.

airflow is fine, 3 x 120mm filtered fans with nothing to drag the hot air from near the card, if anything the card working hard ups the temp of the CPU a little, but not alot.

PSU is low mount, but in its own compartment, with a fan front and back.

cool, ill stick to leaving it on auto unless i do some uber gaming, othert than that ive found to run it at about 70% fan speed keeps it nice at around 65 degrees playing crysis full detail.

You could always look at upgrading the case fans - just because it has some doesn't mean they are doing a good job :)

I swapped mine out for some Coolermaster ones that move a LOT more air than the standard ones.

I also have some Zalman fan's there that move more air than the coolermaster's for the same level of noise so i might change yet again.

They are all hooked upto a fan controller so when doing nothing, just whiz them down and its almost dead silent

speak to your supplier?

Also i would expect the fans to sound a bit more noisy at 80degrees, my card (not a 285) when it hits about 70 - 75 turns its fans on higher automatically but it can take a while for it to kick in for when the fans turn on.

In regards to Riva, yes the most recent drivers brought out by NVIDIA arent usable in Riva Tuner, i just discussed this recently in the PC setup thread.

Long story short i uninstalled the new drivers, found an older driver and now Riva tuner is working sweet. Provided there is a driver approx 3 - 4 months ago for the 285 roll back your driver and then play again with Riva Tuner.

Hope that helps.....

yeah riva is doing it now, i updated cause the latest patch of wow was having issues with the old drivers, runs alot better now.

but silly me didnt reboot the comp after playing with fan speed controllers etc, which it clearly said i should do for changes to take effect, lol.

otherwise yeah, ive got room for another 2 fans in the case, and have been thinking of upgrading them, buit its really only the video card that gets hot, the rest is a E8500 3.16 OCed to 4.19gig, and it runs good temp wise, only gets hot if i give it a good hiding for an hour or more on OCCT, or prime.

so ive figured out now that at 66% duty cycle the vid card sits nicely at 65 degrees while playing WoW (alot of peeps say cause its old you dont need much to run wow, but thats crap if you want full detail and shadows it chews the comp as much as crysis, and played for up to 8 hrs straight) or crysis, so ive got some room to OC the vid card too YAY

thanks again for your replies guys

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
