Hi all,
I just finished building my i7 rig and the specs are in my sig.
The problem is I am getting bad 3DMark Vantage scores. With my highest overclock at the moment (also in sig) I only managed to get around 13k marks @ Performance settings in 3DMark.
I also noticed the GTX275s runs a bit hot. I know that the first card would be hotter since its sucking in hot air from the second card, but even with my cooling sorted , it would idle @ around 69oCelcius (Room temp around 26oC).
I made sure the case (CoolerMaster ATCS840 with custom made 120mm side fan exhaust) has proper cooling but nothing seems to help the temp.
But the main thing I am worried about is the performance. I have seen single GTX275s getting better scores. The cards are utilizing the first and second PCEe x 16 lanes on my mobo (rampage 2 extreme) as it seems to be the only option.
Any ideas why?
