65C is no where near the load temperature of a GTX470/480.

Yeah, it's actually 80, which is not enough for cooking
[QUOTE=johanz;21167430]Yeah, it's actually 80, which is not enough for cooking[/QUOTE]
Considering that an Xbox 360 has been proven to be able to fry an egg, and a 360's measured load temperature is 70.7-ish celcius, the GTX480 with load temperatures in the high 90's should easily fry an egg.
And yes, there is proof that you can fry eggs on a 360 heatsink.

As said before, egg starts cooking at 65c

And doesn't water boiling at 100C? Which the video does show.

If it boils water, it's over 100C, which can easily cook an egg.

At sea level, yes.
[QUOTE=opaali;21161182]Which also voids your warranty
I wouldn't do it on a $600 card, especially when we really don't know yet how reliable it is[/QUOTE]
Which is why I swear by Thermalright and follow their installation instructions TO THE LETTER. Can't wait to see what they make to cool this monstrousity.
This thread is now about cooking an egg :science:

I have.
Everybody tries to use heat as the reason to not buy the 480 (well, that and price) but if something is designed to run hot and they spent millions on it, You can bet your ass it can run hot for long periods.
the 470 is where it's at.
Regardless if it's designed to run hot... The rest of my components aren't... Hence I'm gonna stick with my 5870s...
I have no doubt the card is powerful... but it's price/performance is shit, it's power/performance is shit, and it's heat/performance is likewise. I wouldn't turn one down if I needed Cuda or something... but I sure as heck am not gonna buy one for any current build.
Please no "OMG fanboi" comments... My last card before my new build was an GeForce 8400 GS PCI to give my old 1-core PIV another year or two of decent gaming, and that card was kickass for a PCI slot.

lol, you're hilarious. Heat coming off of the card and heating up other components, hahahaha

agree
[editline]03:15PM[/editline]
I think I'm going to get a 470
I don't see why everyone is bashing these cards. My 8800 GTX had higher idle and load temps and it ran totally fine and nobody complained about heat, not to mention it was Nvidia's high point in the market. The GTX 480 is what, $50 more than the 5870 but it offers a nice boost in performance. Those saying "You might as well buy a 5970" are incorrect as well, seeming the GTX 480 is $500 while the 5970's are what, $690 on a good day?

Unless your case is the size of a shoebox, your components should have no problem with anything if it produces more heat. Like I said, my 8800 GTX ran like wildfire yet ambient temperature sensors never peaked 40C.
The heat isn't really a concern for me, but the volume is. I was pretty blown away at the volume of both the 470 and the 480.
I think the 470 (and even the 480) fit pretty comfortably onto the price/performance curve that ATi laid out over the last 3 months, and I think that nVidia could produce a card that was terrible and people would still buy it. These cards aren't in any way revolutionizing the market, but they're not flops, either.
The real question here is how far off the Northern Island chips are. NVidia is back on top where they like to be (in terms of single GPU cards), but I wouldn't be surprised if ATi pushed their new chips out the door by christmas 2010. We'll just have to wait and see.

really? for 50 bucks more than a 5850 you can get a 470 that can OC to 480 clocks and above, and probably manage to beat the 5870 in some things.
If that isn't price/performance, what is?
and mind you the heat is vented out the back of the case... not inside the case.. :downs:

because, no matter if you have good fans or just cardboard turning about it will always feel like an iceage in there :downs:
people are right to be worried about the heat if they own a regular case with no more than stock cooling. which alot of people, even here, have in their computers.
don't start cracking wise just because certain thesis doesn't fit yourself.
There has already been major reviews at various websites for the GTX 400 series. Their biggest cards only slightly outperform ATI's best at the max FPS range, but are significantly better when it comes to minimum frame rates. The only drawbacks are higher power draw, heat, and card length. Pick your side, you're not going to be wrong no matter which you pick.

I posted assuming everyone has a "decent" case. And if you don't have a good case, get a good case, then get a 470. You can get a good enough case for what, 100 bucks?
I had a really shitty case and my GTX 275 went to 80c+ with no issues. gee I wonder why the card had no problems at 80c!
