1122842 2010-07-27 07:21:00 Has anyone got one of these cards working?
I know they run hot but has anyone encountered a issue with this heat or noise?

1122843 2010-07-27 07:29:00 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.

1122844 2010-07-27 08:11:00 I am considering getting two of them in SLI but the heat concerns me. DeSade (984)
1122845 2010-07-27 08:41:00 I have to ask, do you have a need for 2? SolMiester (139)
1122846 2010-07-27 08:43:00 I've seen a couple of people Tri and even Quad-SLI-ing these babies. Heat is probably an issue in a mid-tower case, but in a spacious, high-airflow full tower case with a fan at the side blowing onto the exposed heatpipes they should be alright.

Besides, you can always go watercooling! :D

Hah I am sure you know my answer mate :)
One of them is not a upgrade and I always upgrade

Open bench, not in an enclosed case. I wouldn't have four GTX 480s in any enclosed case anyway, too pretty to not be in the open!

1122850 2010-07-27 09:36:00 Just looked at the picture. Holy F$%#. Do you know what mobo they used. I'm so doing that when I have a lot of money spare. icow (15313)
1122851 2010-07-27 10:10:00 Looks like an EVGA Classified 4-Way SLI. qazwsxokmijn (102)
