The max temp my GTX 480 has reached in gaming was 76 degrees Celsius. This was after a few hours playing Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason. The fan is set to 80%, and it's running at 800/1600/1000 at 1038 mV.

The max load temperature for my GTX 480 at these speeds/voltage was 93 degrees Celsius. This was after a half hour running the EVGA OC Scanner at 1024 x 1024 with the "unlock power draw" feature enabled.

Have any of you gotten the pop up via Steam to scan your updated rig to add to their database, and if so has it affected your games?

I tried running Unigine Heaven, but the stupid thing just kept running and never gave me results:wtf:
I know I was doing something wrong, but couldn't figure it out. I let it run the other night for over 45 minutes....
Please help a Heaven noob

You must press the 'Benchmark' button on the screen top. Until then it will 'just run for ages' ;)

Edit: consider this as a joke, haha, I was sleepy...

---------

BTW, I wanna join this group!!!! 470 on the way....:D
I want to ArticCool it with a Twin Turbo Pro I got around here... Needs a study...

Card: EVGA GTX 470 SC

Opinion/Recommendations:
I would highly recommend anyone who will be purchasing a 470/480GTX card soon.
Try to get an EVGA one. The EVGA Cards come with a Lifetime Warranty, a free copy of Cryostasis PC Game and also 2 great overlocking programs which are: EVGA OC Scanner and EVGA Precision.

I have this card for a few days now, and I love it.
It's not noisy at all while playing games, unless you switch the fan speed to 80% and above.
My GTX 470SC is currently idleing at @ 48 Celsius.
This card is an awesome overclocker!!

Well, that's it for now. I will post more in this threat after using it for a few more days. But up till now, I couldnt be happier with the card.

I will post pics later this week.

My evga 470 arrived earlier today. About to install here in a few minutes. Anxious to see temps, performance and hear the noise for myself since coming from a 5870.

i'm also ready to check out this rocket sled demo
