3 way SLI 970 Strix Temps??

[rickybear]

Good afternoon people.

I recently "upgraded" from 3x Asus 780's to 3x 970 Strix's
I didnt opt for the 980s as the increase isnt worth the £200 extra price tag they carry.

I have custom water cooled the 3 gpus and included them in a loop with my cpu which is a 5930k Intel.

My main question is temps on the gpus, I know the standard cards will idle higher then reference cards due to the 0db fan which only comes on under a certain load %.

Im currently idling @ gpu1: 34 Degrees C gpu2: 32Degrees C, gpu3: 34 Degrees C.
Underload they will reach around 70 Degrees C.

Im a little worried as I was on the understanding that with the water cooling loop they should be idling alot lower and underload around 40-50 Degrees C.

Have I done something wrong or is what Im experiencing correct?
I run 3 monitors in nvidia surround : 5760x1080 and 1 accessory display at 1080x1920.

Thanks guys and looking forward to hearing back.

Cheers
Rick

You're welcome

If you do reapply the thermal paste and remount the waterblocks come back and give us an update if temps are any better.
