Question 1

Is this one of those cards that doesn't run the fans at all up to a certain temp, or does it always use SOME fan?

Accepted Answer

When I first got the card I couldn't tell if it was even on for the most part and I got concerned as my fans were not spinning. However as I used it the fans did come on when it ran for a little while. From my experience they are not on all the time but they make no noise at all unless you are really making it work and still I can't hear it in my case.

Question 2

is there rgb?

Accepted Answer

No, you’ll need an adaptor, that is not included in the box. Regards.

Question 3

How does this card dissipate air? i understand 3 intake fans, but it seems that the shroud around the video card limits where the air can escape. I noticed the backplate is gets very hot when load. What temperatures should I see in a gaming load?

Accepted Answer

When I first received the card, I was seeing between 81-87c when under load. This was inside of a large mid-tower “Enthoo Evolv temper glass”. I felt this was a bit high for a large card. When I looked online, it seemed it was a bit high for this card, but a few others were seeing similar temps.

I decided to remove the fan and back plate and apply my own thermal paste. Since, my temps have dropped to a max of 75c under load. The thermal paste they use stock is just junk. When I opened up my card, past wasn’t even covering the center of the processing core. It was basically built up around the edges. It was crusty like the card had been used for 10+ years or something.

Just plan on applying new thermal paste. Took me 10 min. As this card is VERY EASY to get apart and back together

How to make it work?

Accepted Answer

If you've exhausted other things to try, such as ensuring all power cables are fully seated, try turning on 4G decoding in the BIOS.

Question 7

Is anyone else having problems with their card running at 1,911MHz when gaming?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I do have the same issue.

Question 8

I notice there is a top power connector, does this card need to have anything connected there? If it does what kind of power cable would you be using?

Accepted Answer

Those are auxiliary power inputs, since graphics cards require additional power in order to operate properly. You require a 6 or 8 pin plugs (usually PSU's these days already have a couple of them in 6+2 configurations, meaning you have a 6 pin plug with two extra pins connected).  It depends on what graphics card you equip yourself with. Some require one 6-pin, some require an 8 pin, higher end graphics cards may require a 6 pin and an 8 pin connection, others may require two 8-pins.
