GTX 770 Temp and Fan Speed

[aninjacheezit]

Okay guys, I have a Nvidia GTX 770 ACX. I recently overclocked it and its not bad but kinda worried about the temp it can reach as high as 86 but it usually around 84 at full load on unigine heaven. I started to mess with the fan curve and put the fans at 100% starting at 70c this caused the temps to drop all the way down to 76c. Now my question is which would be better/safer? Having the fans on auto letting the gpu reach 84-86 or having my fans on 100% at 70c and letting the gpu reach 76c.

okay now back to the psu you mentioned. should i try and flip my psu over? is it damaging my psu not being able to get alot of air?

i don't thing it would damage it but i wouldn't say it's is the right thing to do because you will block any air getting inside your power supply , and some air is better than no air at all , the case is designed so power supply work as intake air and get the hot air outside the case within the rare PS rare fan , what we doing by making the fan down it just not making sense unless you made some wholes with drill at the bottom of the case ,

you welcome and also make sure the evo cooler fan is in a push air to heat sinks which will make the heat go towards the rare and the top case fan if you also can modify and remove the plastic case fan that comes inside the case which should give you space and you could mount another 120 mm don't know if it ill work with ur case

ya the evo is sucking air from the front and pushing it to the back. and which plastic case fan do u mean?

 

[t21]

good , i mean the one inside the case which you have problem installing it because it's close to cpu fan

that one is on the side panel. right now im taking the fan mount out so i can put the side panel on without it touching my cpu fan. but i dont think i have enough room no matter what i do unless maybe if i glue it on there?
