The average product, you can find a better one.

It makes a lot of noise out of the box. After a little research, I found out that under load the temperature is kept at 85-89 degrees, which is at 100% of the cooler speed, which is at 50%. I checked the thermal paste, it is normal, after the replacement the temperature regime has not changed. In idle, it heats up to 45-50 degrees, and because of this, cooling is constantly turned on (the maximum switching threshold is 50 degrees). Cooler at start at low speeds makes a "scratching" sound. So far, there are no ideas how to get around this other than a complete replacement of the cooling. Problems with the sounds of the cooler and restrictions on adjusting the rotation speed are solved by installing MSI Afterburner instead of the native tool. 2 After installing the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III, there is no problem with noise or temperature. In theory, even Accelero Mono Plus will cope, but the golden mean will be Accelero Twin Turbo III with a backplate.

Pros
  • Good, powerful video card of the middle segment for its price
Cons
  • Very noisy at speeds above 60%. The cooling system as a whole does not stand up to criticism. 1 heat pipe for such a hot chip is a failure.
