I just want to know how noisy it is, what temperatures we can expect idling and under heavy usage and how the card looks because I haven’t seen a picture of it or the textures only some online pictures that aren’t very clear.
I reckon if you made a little YouTube video you would get a lot of attention because it would be the only one on the Internet right now
Nice, how loud is it?Good looking card, considering it's the runt of the litter.
Card installed. I ran Superposition at 4k after letting it get to idle temps for 20 mins or so. Room temps around 20ºC. Case fans on low speed. I got 73ºC max.
I've then been running Heaven and it sits at a consistent 74-75ºC
Clock speed bouncing between approx. 1780-1880
Pretty loud unfortunately. I'm used to a water cooled card though, so probably being a little unfair to it.Nice, how loud is it?
It’s a dual fan , no ones suprised, do you happen to have a recording of the sound with case closed or open just to figure out how loud it really isPretty loud unfortunately. I'm used to a water cooled card though, so probably being a little unfair to it.
I think it was reporting fans at 66% during the Heaven bench. Sounded like an average 120mm case fan on full whack.
I installed a sound meter on my phone. I placed the phone on top of my PC case, away from any direct exhaust fans.It’s a dual fan , no ones suprised, do you happen to have a recording of the sound with case closed or open just to figure out how loud it really is
Not bad, it’s what you expect from dual fan.I installed a sound meter on my phone. I placed the phone on top of my PC case, away from any direct exhaust fans.
Background ambient noise is ~25dB, whilst fans are set to silent and there is no load on GPU.
Case fans all set to max (mix of 120, 140 and 200mm Bitfenix fans) it jumps to ~42dB.
With the case fans back on silent, and Heaven bench running I got the following:
35% 30dB
60% 34dB
70% 38dB
80% 40dB
(Percentage is fan speed, not load)
What do you expect from a dual fan card?I've received my X2 Inno3D as well but it is heating up to 85C inside a H500p case that's got a lot of airflow going through it. It actually smells like burned rubber and I had to get my brother to come in to verify that it wasn't just me imagining things. I have to set the fans to 80% speed to keep tolerable temperatures (it sounds like a jet engine) and that's in a room with ambient temperature of roughly 10C....
I'm not sure whether to return this or not. Undervolting and underclocking has done literally nothing to stave off the temperature increase.
The burning smell is definitely not good I was talking about how loud it is. When I first got my dual fan RX 5700XT it reached high temps and there was a small burning smell too but it went away , I think this is just due to the fact it’s fresh out the factory with all new plastic so when it’s on high heat it will smell a bitNot to smell burned? That tells me something has shorted in the fan before it even arrived at my doorstep. If burned smell is an acceptable thing because it's a dual fan, then it shouldn't be sold on the market.
Yeah a good percentage of people who bought this card bought it with intentions to water cool itThat's solid advice. I will try to go water cooling if it's possible, but will keep testing with it for now to see if the smell persists. The new plastic explanation would make sense I think.
Ended up actually calling Overclockers and they've arranged for it to be RMA'd on Monday. Was actually kind of impressed with how short of a timeframe that is. Probably just gonna end up refunding it though and sticking it out with the 2060 for now. I didn't fully appreciate how much quieter my system is with the 2060...even on idle, the X2 Twin sounds like a jet engine by comparison.
Jesus Christ! In that case you are right!I did not say I RMA'd it because it was too loud. The noise is annoying, yes, but the real problem was the smell. It was actually getting in the way of normal breathing and I started questioning whether it was safe to keep it running so I turned it off and the OC guy at technical support advised me to send it back.
