    It's not a bug, I have very good gpu temps as well, 2 gtx 460's in sli. Ive overclocked them from reference of 675 to 875Mhz

    They run furmark multi gpu at about 30 deg C as well.....they are bog stock palit sonics with a soild heat sink

    I just think solid heat sinks are better than heat pipes and vapor chambers

    My case helps to I made it myself.

    Put your hand to the heatsink, does it feel like it's 30c?

    Any chance of a picture of the hand built case, might add more clues to the mystery.

    My bet is that it's a hollowed out block of ice :lol:

    Anyway, technogiant unless if there's a major factor that you've left out there's no way you're getting those temps. Your sensors must be wrong, or your settings must be wrong, or something..

    Just think about it, how can you be getting sub-ambient temps with air cooling? Do fans and blocks of copper actively cool hot things or do they work to wick the heat away?

    Sealed chamber build using stripped down ac unit......gets internal temps of -28 to -22 deg c

    all components air cooled...have to use solid heat sinks as heatpipes and vapor chambers freeze up...lol sorry guys

    You've got to have insulation in there, the lid has got a viewing window ....2 sheets of plexi separated by a 50mm air gap...that still gets condensation on the outside.
