Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

So I finally found gtx-670 card new and have installed it. Compared to the msi gtx-760 it is quieter in idle. I would say the asus gtx-670 is 2 to 3db quieter in idle. I also confirmed the msi gtx-70 card is much quieter under load. The asus gtx-670 dual 80mm fans idle between 1050 and 1110rpm and m...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

It didnt work and the min auto fan stayed at 34% which tells me fan bios control just doesn't work using the kepler bios tweaker on the 760 (As also for the maximum fan speed) You can use a custom fan profile with Afterburner executed at PC start, in order to set the new min at 38%. Yeah I did that...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

Interesting. I was able to eliminate the high pitched fan turbulance howling sound by increasing the min fan in afterburner from 34% to 38%. Think this increases rpm by about 125rpm but not sure how much more spl it generates. So I got the idea I would flash the card to set the min fan to 38% using ...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

Is it just me or is the msi gtx-760 gaming not as quiet in idle as the asus gtx=670 dcii? No, you aren't wrong: the MSI Twin Frozr is slightly more noisy at idle than the ASUS DC-II sported by the first generation Keplers (I have had the same feel comparing an ASUS GTX660 and your MSI GTX760). And ...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

Now if I can just get the msi gtx-760 to idle below 34% or 980rpm it would be even better! The fans are limited by the cards bios to 30%. You could flash the bios with a lower value. Or y+ou could swap the fan for another TY147 with this adapter and attach it with zip ties. Tried modified bios and ...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

Long story short I built a complete system back in the fall that I had all kinds of issues that ultimately seem to be related to the power supply compatibility and asus z87-a board I had. The issues caused failure to boot with a red cpu led. I ended up exchanging and returning items one by one until...

Re: asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

i found it hard to believe if not impossible that my ears could even hear a 1db in difference but I could swear on it? My system contains a 520w fanless power supply, hr macho rev a ty-147 running at 450rpm in idle in an antec solo II case. for reverence I have to turn my ty-147 fan up to 850rpm (th...

asus gtx-670 vs msi gtx-670 gaming

i used to have a asus gtx-670 dcii and have since changed to a msi gtx-760 gaming. Is it just me or is the msi gtx-760 gaming not as quiet in idle as the asus gtx=670 dcii? I would say the msi gtx-760 gaming seems more quiet at full loud in games, but in idle i remember the asus being a bit more qui...

Re: Next gaming build

I have a msi gtx-760 as well and can't get it to go lower than 34% fan or 1000rpm. Anyway to get these to idle less?
