Who wants to see a 31 year old Santa ? That ' s Santas grandson . <| sep |> sadly they didnt manage to go to worlds <| sep |> McMurray has this innate ability to keep the car pointed forwards at all times . <| sep |> Now , I would have lost my shit if there was a B 2 B symbol next to Excision ' s name and there also just so happened to be a B 2 B symbol next to DatsiK ' s name on his Tour poster . One can only dream . <| sep |> 80 82 doesn ' t sound normal . mine does 68 72 C . before and AFTER the Thermal Pad mod , unchanged . i did not do the BIOS update , obviously a more aggressive fan curve would cool the GPU a bit better duh , but i don ' t want the additional fan noise for maybe 5 C less . The GPU temp is fine . Did you overclock or change the power target to maximum or something like that ? I guess i ' m not really stressing my card . only 1080 p 144 Hz , and my old CPU soon to be replaced , waiting for Kaby Lake is bottlenecking a bit as well , so i see 70 80 % GPU load most of the time , it is never maxed out at 100 %. 1440 p would probably do the trick i guess . Anyway i get 6872 C at all times , 80 82 C doesn ' t sound normal to me , maybe there was also something else going on with your first card ? did you overclock ? increase the power target or something ? . if that was stock then something else must have been wrong
