GELID ICY VISION REV. 2 GPU COOLERS IN SLI
Folding @ Home
GPU 温度
The current GPU3 Work Units (80xx) for F@H run the GPU at a steady 97-99 % load using the CUDA cores of these GPU's to run scientific simulations. They are known to use more power and work the cards harder than any of the previous Work Units, and will generate as much or more heat than any games we currently have available. For those folding 24/7 or even most of the day, these coolers will keep the cards running at lower temps which should extend their usable life.
These GeLid ICY VISION Rev. 2 GPU coolers did a wonderful job cooling the GPUs. Using them in SLI (or Crossfire) did not seem to affect their performance one bit. They are far quieter than the stock coolers and do a much better job of cooling. Connecting them to the Sentry 2 fan controller allowed us to adjust the fan speeds and isolate the noise from these coolers. At full RPM the ICY VISION's fans produce about the same volume as the stock coolers at 45-50% (not tested). They are very quiet by comparison. Just so we we would know, we re-ran the folding at home app with the fans at 60%, this made them virtually inaudible and the cards leveled off at 73 and 81°C. Still lower than the stock coolers
We would like to take this opportunity to remind our readers that these coolers take up 3 slots compared to the 2 the stock coolers use. They can ONLY be used in SLI/Crossfire on a board that has at least two empty slots under the top card. Using them on this ASUS motherboard stopped us from reinstalling the PhysX card, and left us with only one PCI slot open.
