Yes and thanks! I was actually thinking of bying one of the reference cards but changed my mind. The cooler is just not good enough for a hot GPU like that.
Nvidia has specified the GF110 to a maximum operating temp of 97 degrees C. In a review I read they came very close to 100 degrees C
running Crysis Warhead. Most games does not fully load the GPU but Crysis is one of those which does.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, most reference coolers suck. And there isn't much room for OC'ing.
Guess I can understand Nvidias reasoning, they don't want to put anything on thats to expensive, and yet it should be able to keep the GPU
fairly cool and prolly most of all quiet. The are probably tired of being compared to jetplanes and the likes (not exactly good for business ;-)
Btw. do you have any insight as when we'll see the SOC version of the 480 on the market. It's been a while since it was announced and yet it's shining
with it's absence?
