My production Fermi arrived!

[DOM]

Isnt the product supposed to really hit the stores hard tomorrow, the 12th?

yes there going to be sold tomorrow, i say there not even going to be in stock for long

also remember that the cards beeeeend and sag. if the top card sagged down, it'd have no air intake - it'd be sucking on the back of the bottom card.

its going to be sucking hot air no matter what its so the grill/hs wont short out the 2nd card, its to give it the clearance it needs

there is a difference between sucking hot air, and sucking NO air.

are you sure

i just wanna see of wiz does a SLI review see if the top cards goes past 100c

The foam piece is positioned so that the intake would not draw a lot from the hot zone. Well it seems like that for me.

Attaching foam to direct air ? I wont believe that one. I think its just because a lot of computer cases now dont use screws for slot cards but have some fancy locking plates and they (specially the cheapo cases) tend not to keep everything as they should (90 degree gfx/mobo angle) hence a piece of foam just to help you position (NOT HOLD IT) the card properly.

the whole card gets hot so i dont think it matters lol

Hmm, lots of foam theories, when W1zzard said in the review that it's for SLI not to short back of the card with front.

It's not really a new concept, NB coolers have had similar things as well. One uses zip-ties in the corners as insulators for not shorting GPU.

NEW TEMPS!

With ONE monitor:

IDLE with 100% FAN: 35ºC!
IDLE with AUTO-fan: 43ºC!

Core -> 51MHz / Shader -> 101MHz / Mem -> 135MHz

With TWO monitor:

IDLE with 100% FAN: 42ºC!
IDLE with AUTO-fan: 72ºC!

Core -> 405MHz / Shader -> 810MHz / Mem -> 1848MHz

In furmark... NOT PASSES THAN 88ºC!

All that it's mounted "in the air": not in a case.

ByE!

Man, what is the actual RPM of that Delta fan on 100%? I can imagine somewhere around 5000-6000RPM. IDLE with 100% fan on 5000+ RPM? It must be 55+ dbA at this particular fan setting.

I have 3 deltas and their 4000RPM. If the GTX480 sounds like a delta, then all i can say is "fail".
