[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;43419162]People read youtube comments? I thought you were supposed to watch the video[/QUOTE]
Was typing a reply to this while Avast was updating, right as I hit enter a pop up asking if I wanted to restart my computer appeared. Sonuvabitch
Anyways, for me at least, it's a little bit of Morbid curiosity when I read comments. The only time comments don't suck is usually on how-to videos for cars. :v:

I setup my grandmother's Surface RT today, her first tablet and her first experience with Windows 8. In all my brilliance I forgot to setup remote assistance. But I did manage to get her Thunderbird email contacts into the Outlook.com address book. Weirdly, the site lets you import a csv file though ignored the email addresses in it until I opened the file with Open Office's spreadsheet program and renamed the column name to "E-mail Address".
After it took ages to update and install the 8.1 upgrade, I started really liking it. If I didn't buy a touchscreen ultrabook, I'd really consider looking at an Asus Transformer TF100 or a Dell Venue 8 Pro.

I never understood how this happens. My 480 idles at 40C right now and has only hit 70C this winter. Even during summer it barely gets into the 80s. Granted my fan never goes below 50%, but even then, that can't be that much better than the default fan profile.

stock cooling, no fan profiles, two monitors so it has to work extra
it adds up

It's like YouPorn, but for non-porn stuff and with a worse comments section.

I don't understand the connection.
If the 480 is hot, it's not generating more heat, more heat is just staying in the card.
A 480 idling at 30c is going to heat up a room faster than one idling at 80c. Both generate the same heat, but one is able to release that heat into the room.
The most effective way to solve the problem is make the room 80c, then you have thermal equilibrium

i don't even understand how that works, whatever
it's 23c in here, can't do anything about it

If you had the same card. One card managed to idle at 30c, one managed to 80c.
What would you deduce? That one had better cooling. How does cooling work? It takes cooler air, blows it over the card so that the air absorbs the heat. Where does the air go? it goes into the room.
If card A is able to dissipate more heat from itself then the room would be warmer than card B which can't and stays hot.
i can't understand that stuff at all
Well there are factors that go beyond that, some cards will vary from card to card and batch to batch in how well they were constructed and could easily could operate at lower temperatures than another one
Regardless, 80C is abnormal even for a 480 at idle unless your room has an ambient temperature of 50C or some other crazy conditions.

You may wanna look into cleaning the heatsink, changing paste, and maybe install a better cooler in general

Won't a card idling at 80c vs a (identical) card idling at 30c heat the room the same amount, since they are both (presumably) creating the same amount of heat? One just reaches an equilibrium at a higher temperature than the other.

it's always been like that
if i unplug one monitor it goes down to 50
i'm gonna get a new card anyway, just for 3 monitors
what's a good one nowadays? i don't play many games anymore but i do graphics intensive tasks.. kinda
GTX Titan
that's quite overkill
was thinking about a 660ti for some time

I didn't notice either until I zoomed in on it, the numbers are just text, you can copy/paste it :v:

In a purely theoretical scenario, yes.
However, with silicon semiconductors, increased temperatures cause increased resistance (up to 160C, then it starts decreasing, but that's well outside functional ranges anyways), meaning a hotter circuit is drawing more power and emitting more heat than the same circuit at a lower power.
That's also assuming that nothing has gotten hot enough for thermal radiation to be significant. I think that might also affect things, particularly if convection is disrupted.

Get a 270 or a 760.
Or a GTX 790

:v:
performance difference doesn't seem to be that huge :v:
might get one of those next month then
[QUOTE=Skanic;43421560]Get a 270 or a 760.[/QUOTE]
Why would you get a 270? A low end card can perform better than that and uses a fraction of its power consumption.
Might as well get a 295

Oh Nvidia, you and your CUDA core bullshit. Spoiler alert: They're not cores. Titan/K20 has 15, not 2688.
