Bought Asus GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5 last week.
It went too loud to hoot on stock cooler in Corsair Carbide 240 for my taste..it odes the work but sound like a vacuum cleaner when it goes over 80 degree in full load.
So, i replace the VGA cooler with my old AC Accelero Xtreme ( used for years on 5870)..
I know its an overkill but its the only VGA cooler I have that can be mounted on the card.
I ran into 2 problems:
1) When mounted the fans wont work.MSI afterburner manual fan control does nothing.
Or when I set them to trigger at GPU 100% when it reach 60 degree it does keep the temperature but not by activating the fans but by lowering clocks-to 300 Mhz.
They do work before windows launch (Win 10) and then they stop.
I did temper with power settings in win (performance, power saving etc.) but it odes nothing.
This problem only appeared with new cooler. Stock cooler runs normal, manual or auto.
Is it some GPU bios restriction specific to this model? 3 fans on VGA cooler too much? Or is it driver issue? Or Windows? Is there a fix?
2) Fixed 1) kind off...connecting VGA cooler directly to the power supply. It runs 100% but at least its could and when the case is closed not so loud.
My problem-is it safe?
PCB on the card looks thinner than of my old 5870...not to mention smaller length.
