When you're planning to buy, ask for specific suggestions, since sales bounce all over the place. obviously, already said I would replace it when i get a new one. Just trying to learn as much as I can for when the time comes eventually. Thanks for all the help, that's probably not much else to answer right now. | ||

Anyway idle temperature isn't really a concern. The main concern are load temps. | ||

I want to experiment with smaller sizes so I can see the minimap clearer | ||

I got a fairly cheap HD6850 with a really loud fan, so I'd love to not hear the thing so loud all the time. There's usually minimums set in the card BIOS. And that's not something most people monkey with. | ||

I live in Arizona and the A/C is set to about 85, and when its that warm my graphics card is always really loud (usually about 50% with no load on it). When I set the fan to 20%, that fixes the sound issue (mostly), but it makes things get much more hot if I watch a stream or open a game. Also, whether the fan is set to 50 or 20 doesn't change the idle temp from about 40C (only about 10 degrees over ambient). You should be able set a fan curve with a program like MSI Afterburner or EVGA precision X. This would allow you to have, say, 20% fan up to 60C then have the fan ramp up fairly quickly to 100% after that. From my experience, these programs should work with most (if not all) brands of graphic cards. | ||

The only way I know of to get around that without the potential to brick the GPU is to use a fan controller panel and a couple of 3 pin extensions between the card and the fan, so you can cut the fan and run it passive in idle, then just crank it back up to game. Which, of course, still has the potential for mayhem if you forget, fuck up, or have small children who like knobs and buttons. | ||

I recently got adblock (for Firefox) and in a noob moment I clicked onto a stream here on TeamLiquid. Everything was working fine until one day, I clicked "Block" located in the top right of the stream box. It's really small and hard to see. Anyway.... the stream turned off and I was only able to watch streams directly from the person(s) twitch.tv account rather than directly from TL. But now I can't watch anything, be it Youtube, streams on Twitch or whatever. Would love to know what I did and how to resolve it. I've also tried going into AdBlock settings and disabling everything for TL but it didn't work. | ||
