Rambling about messing with EVGA 780Ti Classifieds on ambient cooling.

[@neochakal]

Now that's a decent length for a buildzoid video! 😁

[@Chriva]

Blast to the past. I remember watching 360p movies on Pocket PC back in the day :D

[@GuernB2]

These coolers look waaaay better than modern cards

[@RunawayYe]

unfortunately the build quality was shit. fins rattling, fans whining and scratching. I changed the card and there was no rattle, I swapped the fans and they got better, but there's still some noise coming from the damn cooler. it's the only audible thing in my computer at idle.

[@GuernB2]

@@RunawayYe I have a 780 classified and a 980ti classified and neither of them have had any issues with the fans or noise from the cooler

[@RunawayYe]

@@GuernB2 980ti uses a revised cooler afaik with all the problems fixed, as for 780 you got lucky ☺️

I had a Kingpin, really great card!

[@LeeMc007]

Did you ever find that bios for the card that you talked about ? I have one of these thats been watercooled since day one and it overclocks to 1200 and no further , maybe I have the crap bios you mentioned.

[@rartolak]

Ahh thermal cycle damage, same thing Louis Rossmann says about the notorious 2011 macbookpro gpu failures.

[@YTHandlesWereAMistake]

I’d really love to watch the Titan Z messed with. Would be awesome to check that beast of a card out.

[@Losimantom]

youre in luck :)

[@Fast85FoxGT]

I scored a 780ti Classified that was used by an old lady for $30. Sits in a box staying pretty lol.

Variety my friend. We like variety. Make more shirts!👍❤✌

[@Hostilenemy]

I've got a waterblock for 780/780 Ti classy. You want it? Much better cooling than air.

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

I have universal GPU blocks if I wanted to run the cards cooler. So thanks for the offer but no thanks.

I have a GTX 780ti Classified great card but if it had 6-8gb of vram it would of been a beast for it's time!

[@givemeajackson]

Just makes it even dumber that nvidia doesn't allow board partners to make titans... You either have the best GPU with a garbage PCB or a lesser GPU with an actually decent PCB

[@JadeIsler]

Hey buildzoid, what do you think of the biggest tech youtubers? the more I learn, the more I find myself getting angry at a handful that seem to both have only an amateur amount of tech knowledge and act very nonchalant. Similarly, I think I'm starting to better recognize how truly knowledgeable and skilled another handful are. Have you found yourself having similar feelings at all?

[@kaisyaya8492]

have you ever used some peltier elements ? i would love to see you messing with it lol

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

I built a 400W peltier chiller. It could pull down to 7C water temp at idle but couldn't hold load on a 4790K. Someday I'd like to build a better one.

[@kaisyaya8492]

@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking 400w hot damn ! like literally dude !

[@Ceeby1234]

just browsing ebay and a 780 popped up for 34 bucks and clearly the vrm exploded lol

[@Mc-Derpulous]

So is water cooling better or worse for preventing die shrinkage and expansion through heat cycling?

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

with water cooling the cores temperature changes less so it's better.

[@theunholybakery1990]

Hey buildzoid. One question. How is it possible that 16 gigs of vengeance lpx rated at 3000 cl15 can do 4000 cl18 at 1.4v on a b450 itx board from asrock and a 2400g...

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

sounds like you got insanely lucky with everything.

[@theunholybakery1990]

@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking ok, but is it even possible that shitty hynix m-die can do so well? I mean, i've read some stuff on reddit were people were complaining about not getting to 3000...

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

​@@theunholybakery1990 did you check that your kit is Hynix M-die? because Micron's new rev E can be found in 3000-3600MHz kits and can clock really well.

[@meki___6881]

Is it possible to mount a 1080 heatsink on a 1060 or not? And are there differents between different costum cards

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

depends some GPU makers design their PCBs so that they can fit one heatsink on a bunch of different GPU models.

[@meki___6881]

@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking i have a msi gtx1060 gaming x that runs at 50-60c idle and 70-80 under load and i am thinking if mount a 1080 or some other hi end card cooler on it i get better cooling even if it is a blower card because of the tdp difference

[@GuernB2]

You should snag a 980ti classified. I want a he mem voltage mod so I can run 8000+ mem 24/7

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

The classified tool should work on those too

[@jetpil0t]

I baked my 290X about 4 times, each time bought me about 4 weeks until it finally failed to respond to bakes. This is pretty much what you dont want to buy when you pickup a second hand card. The bake and fake.

[@johnnychang4233]

Have you tried boiling it with water? It's healthier and less greasy :P

[@aBoogivogi]

You could reflow the GPU and fix things permanently. You just need a really expensive machine and a little luck.

[@snoedy2125]

i have two broken 780tis SC from evga, one kinda burned one day a few years ago and the other kept crashing when playing games so i put that one in the oven and that one stopped working aswell, both didnt have any warranty anymore so i had to use a gtx 770 from then on. does anyone have a clue what i can do with thsoe broken 780tis that even might be able to repair them? i would love to just send those cards to anyone with a clue to look what he can do lol.

[@johnblue8907]

Buildzoid can I send you a watercooled Nvidia 680 for you to mess with? I don't particularly want it back as I have another one than runs better. It runs, but there's definitely an issue with it. I'm also in the UK

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

is it just a refrence card or something more special?

[@johnblue8907]

It's a POV-TGT GTX 680 2GB. It's overclocked out of the box above the reference card. It cost me £600 back in 2012.
