| 1122872 | 2010-07-30 10:05:00 | I have store credit and they don't have any 460's listed so its not a option for me | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1122873 | 2010-07-31 22:50:00 | I think you may be the only one on this that has it. And JJJJJ. :D I've never even seen one in real life yet, but from all the stuff I've read of GTX 480 users around the net they do run hot, high 90s during Crysis is not unheard of. I have two 480 cards in SLI. They are the coolest running video cards I have ever seen. I have "real temp gt" running continuosly and I have never seen the temp above 79. I think the answer to high temps is a very carefuly thought out selection of case and motherboard and heat sink for cpu. I have an Antec 1200 case,with six fans and a DFI motherboard. This m/b has a good space between the cards and allows a full airflow between them. The Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU cooler dual 120mm LED fans is the best I have found Under heavy load my 890 cpu runs in the low 60's and quickly drops back to high 40's, low 50's, when load is reduced. The cpu is overclocked to 4.2 and runs perfectly. i582.photobucket.com |

I have a GTX260 which most review sites have 50+ degree temperatures in testing, but yet it runs 36 degrees at full load in my system. This also may have something to do with reviewers using Furmark which I believe is designed to use ALL parts of the card at 100% where alot of games may not run all parts of the card at 100% load. |

| 1122881 | 2010-08-04 02:18:00 | Right so the two cards are in but I can find NO instructions how to turn on SLI and make sure its working, the nVidia site has Win XP screenshots which are totally useless. Can anyone help? |
