Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

@Beej: Yate Loon? What's even good about those? They're sleeve bearing aren't they? I see them everywhere, but I cannot see why they are so good. So many fans beat them in airflow and quietness. And probably reliability.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

guys in case the heatpipes are defective and causing trouble, is it better to buy an aftermarket cooler or just sell the darn thing and get a 560?

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

@ Shant: A non Ti 560 is just an oc-ed gtx 460... So its like you are replacing your card with its 2 second older twin. (gf114 vs gf104 "internal tweaks" doesnt make much difference btw).

And i cant think of a good aftermarket cooler that is sold here in lebanon, i hate anything TT except frio.

If all fails sell it for cheap-ish and get yourself a 570 or a 6950 (if budget allows), if not get a 460 non-reference. Please dont buy reference :S.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

beej, whats a reference?
no way im selling and getting a 460 again,i can't overclock this with these temps, i wouldn't risk it
Id rather just get an asus 560 and overclock that with direct fan,if im going to waste 60-70$ on an aftermarket cooler then why not spend 100-150 and get a new,cool,faster card?

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

Reference card is what nvidia manufactures and send to AIB. Its the same cards with different stickers, i.e. asus gigabyte evga msi..even manly:P.

Now some of these companies make non-reference coolers on reference boards, and some make a non-reference card altogether.

Asus has its DCu series, msi has its hawk/PE/Lightning, gigabyte has their SOC series..etc

These card are faster, more reliable, can oc more, cooler and more efficient.

AWESOME card , I got the same one.
NEVER overheats , and now with my MX-4 it never reaches more then 57C STRESSED
it overclocks very easily and runs very cool and quiet.
I'd recommend this card to any gamer

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

@ shant, am guessing 100$ for a quick sale. Or you can squeeze 20-30$s more if you wait.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

Shant, don't waste your money on it, my call would be the XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB DDR5 much better for less price.Rank 6th globally vs 9th for GTX560ti (PassMark scores).

-ATI doesn't have:
-PhysX (from the GPU)
-Runs warmer than an Nvidia card
-No CUDA cores
-The drivers are absolute crap
-no AA
I had an ATI Radeon 200 IGPU in my old PC, encountered tons of problems with drivers, performance , overclocking, and heat

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

AVO... >.>
I thought we got over this issue before... AMD no longer suck. And yes it would be wiser to get a 6950 or a 570, as shant will not feel that much difference in performance. Surely fps gain is a must, but it will not help in increasing settings.

@ILIA: Passmark is a bad benchmark comparison my friend. Remember it showed buldozer 8 core to be faster than i5 2500k, and we all know how that turned out...

@ shant: My suggestions will be either a 6950 1g or 2g (not that much difference except a few games BF3 included), or a 570. And if you cant/ dont want to shed that much more money (since in a few month all hell breaks lose with new gpus from both camps) get a 560 ti.

Also you can hold on to ur gpu and "masshe halak feeha" till new stuff arrive.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

But still, the HD6950 is more powerful than the GTX560ti. I don't consider GTX460 --> GTX560ti a worthy upgrade, since it will cost you 200$. And you wont notice the 5-8 maybe 10FPS difference in the games. But since your card is overheating..... :-/

Just a dump proposition:" Did you made sure that you removed the metal piece under the one you plug the cable to? ( where the fan blows out )" Maybe...
But you removed it, right?

Edit:

The HD6950 (1GB) is 275$ @PCandParts vs GTX560ti (listed above "ASUS") 289$. It's a win win

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

a power supply 380 or 500 can run the Asus ENGTX560 Ti DCII/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB DDR5 ??

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

500 of a good quality, if your not sure get higher psu. Also depends on your system as a whole.

It would , but I wouldn't recommend it , because you need more then 500W to have some breathing room

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

guys amd is a big no no, they can screw up stuff in just 1 second, im used to nvidia ill stick with that, if i sell my 460 its, my max budget is gonna be around 300-320
if i wait for 600 series, my 460 price=dead
i bought this damn card for 304$ -.-
if only pc and parts would provide the damn original 3 year warranty!!

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

Well waiting for the GTX6xx would be a good choice, since we're just some months away from the release, and by summer, I guess they will be available in Lebanon with reasonable prices (300$ for price/performance card, mostly would be GTX660). And when I played BF3 with my card, I was really satisfied with it for the mean time, it's just a great card for this time, and for "engines like FrostBite2" era too. If you really want a GTX560ti, put your GTX460 voltage at 1.075v, and your core clock at 900Mhz and memory clock at 2000Mhz. That was the only 900Mhz overclock I could get with my card.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

that would just kill my card,it already overheats like crazy for no reason on stock

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

It seems you did something wrong "maybe" when you reinstalled the fan, cause I though my overheating problems was because of the card, while the card was hungry for cool airflow, I ran the 900Mhz for 30mins with max 78c. Stock give me now 60c under load (at 100% fan speed).

And since yasamoka gave it a look, I can't add anything to the master's opinion... It's not a cooling problem.

Re: Gtx460,nothing fixes overheating problem

73C for me on 100% fan, its still high, when i first brought it it was around 60C with 40%(auto) fan or so the first few months,then temps suddenly jumped! my fan on 100% is as loud as frio running full speed so can't do that either
