Asus Strix GTX 970 significantly hotter than MSI 970 in idle?

Yes I have seen that too :) But amenx said that the MSI 970 Gaming version only turns off one of the two fans, which is a surprise to me if it is true, as I haven't seen that mentioned. I thought it behaved in the same way as the Strix.

Do you have an example? I haven't seen it mentioned in any of the reviews I've been looking through :)

Asus Strix GTX 970 significantly hotter than MSI 970 in idle?

Where did you see that it is only one fan that switches off for the MSI? The only reason that I'm thinking about the idle temp is because I'm unsure how much it could impact the CPU temps, but perhaps it's so little that it doesn't matter at all :) I never really thought much about GPU...

Asus Strix GTX 970 significantly hotter than MSI 970 in idle?

To make it even more confusing the idle temps in the reviews from Overclock3D are favouring the Asus Strix over the MSI by 8 degrees celsius. Do you think a difference from lets say 30 to 40 degrees could affect CPU temperatures noticeably...

Asus Strix GTX 970 significantly hotter than MSI 970 in idle?

I'm not sure what you mean with run the fat at a slower speed and the other at much faster? Both the Asus and MSI switch off their fans when below a certain temperature - a feature I really like as I like silence, but if the Asus is significantly hotter, wouldn't that affect the CPU load...

Asus Strix GTX 970 significantly hotter than MSI 970 in idle?

Hi, I have become in doubt whether I should keep my Asus Strix GTX 970 or if I should swap it to an MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G. The main reason for this is that I have seen a number of reviews stating very high idle temps on the Asus as opposed to the MSI (44 vs 28 degrees celsius)...

Asus GTX 970 Strix DOA?

Hi, I just received an Asus GTX 970 Strix to replace my old Gigabyte 460. After installing it I don't get anything on the screen though. The power led on the graphics is shining, but the VGA led on the motherboard is shining red, which indicate the graphics card is dead? I have tried...

Remote desktop - safe? Local network only?

Okay, I see :) What confused me was this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/175087/how-to-enable-and-secure-remote-desktop-on-windows/?PageSpeed=noscript where they mention "There are a lot of bots constantly scanning the internet for vulnerable PCs running Remote Desktop, so dont...

Remote desktop - safe? Local network only?

Thanks for your reply :) There is nothing important on the HTPC itself, but I have other computers on the network where I have more important stuff. However, if anyone from the outside did get into the local network, why would it matter if the HTPC was remote-capable or not?

Remote desktop - safe? Local network only?

Hi, I am considering to use remote desktop for controlling my HTPC with my phone. I will only be using remote desktop when I'm on the same network as the HTPC. My question is if this is safe? Do I risk anything by having the HTPC turned on most of the time with remote desktop enabled...

Eizo EV2436W vs Asus PB248Q for graphics work?

Unfortunately I don't really know anyone with a device I could borrow - can you recommend a not too expensive colorimeter which is easy to use? Another thing I noticed is that the Asus is supposed to have a lighter AG coating - whereas the Eizo has a heavier coating.. do you think this makes a...

Eizo EV2436W vs Asus PB248Q for graphics work?

I know I'd need that to achieve accurate colors (or a much more expensive monitor I guess), but I can't afford it right now, so I have to base my choice on how the monitors perform without calibration. But I am not sure if the supposedly better default out-of-the-box colors of the Asus is...

Eizo EV2436W vs Asus PB248Q for graphics work?

Hi, I need to buy a new monitor to use mainly for graphical work (3d stuff, texturing etc.). I have sort of narrowed it down to Eizo EV2436W or Asus PB248Q. The Eizo is flicker-free, but according to the Prad reviews of these monitors it seems like the Asus got better default colors out of...

Windows 8: Enable "Automatically get device drivers, apps, and info for new devices"?

This goes also for the driver updates? So enabling this "Automatically get device drivers, apps, etc.", means they will just be showing up as available updates in Windows? Are they be marked optional though? I know I could just check everytime which updates I will be installing - but on...
