[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25501486]In my opinion he is more ungrateful than itsdivine who won an SSD then bitched about it and tried selling it for 350$[/QUOTE]
How the fuck am I more ungrateful.
The thing cost 300 dollars.
It's was my FUCKING BIRTHDAY.
I paid for half of it.
Jesus.
I doubt you paid for half of it. If you paid for half of it you wouldn't want to sell it so easily.
Your more ungrateful than itsDivine because itsDivine won an SSD from Linus Sebastian and wanted to sell it to me for 340$ because he couldn't use it, whatever like linus cares.
So then your mother buys you an amazing video card for your birthday while I get a 100$ bill and you are bitching that you can't use it. Then save it for your build if you want to use it later you ungrateful fuck.
holy shit no one cares just use the fucking card god fucking damn

That's not as loud as my GTX 480 on max. It goes VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM. If my card is as loud your VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM coming from the GTX 470, I'd be blessed.

Point being: VROOOM doesn't really tell us how loud it is.

Shut up about the SSD, no one cares.
binary, what case do you have?
A heavily modified Apevia X-Cruiser

I'm so old school.
Thats a very neat case, but were's the power button?
[IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/30cbvwn.jpg[/IMG]
This case was made in 2006, and is very unsuitable for modern day hardware, hence the modifications made to it. If you are planning to buy this case for a new computer, I'd recommend you to stay away from it if you are planning to install high end hardware, or fancy watercooling and such.
oh alright, also another question. What temp is your GPU on full load, or benchmarking and such I can peak up around 95 degrees with the 470's

95 is fine for load, as long as you aren't idling anywhere near that.

When I had my 470 a while ago, the highest I've encountered was around 85.

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25524757]When I had my 470 a while ago, the highest I've encountered was around 85.[/QUOTE]
Yea, but I am running them in 3 way SLi.
I explained a long time ago why I did this but I will re-explain so people don't bash me and call me an idiot.
I do 3 monitor gaming, a lot. So I found out I needed at least 2 GPUs, since my budget was very flexible and high up there I decided on 2 480s until I talked to odellus and then I asked the question. "What about 3 gtx 470s?" Well turns out I can get way better performance with 3 of them for about the same price, so thats why I have 3 gtx 470's. I also have the DF-85 and I bought an extra fan for the side panel to cool off the GPUs. At the end of my build for 2500$ including the 980x for half off. I decided to throw in some SSD's and some case lights. I now got 3 64gb SSD's in raid 0 for 350ish$ and some case lights for 45$ I then decided to buy another 1TB HDD and put that in raid 0 with the last bit of money I scored a 32gb ssd from corsair new in the box and then used that as a boot drive.
However I shopped around for deals and the best price. I even waited 2 weeks just for a sale on ram to save myself 150$, I also got a good deal on my motherboard.
Well... all for now :v:
TL;DR 3 GTX470s > 2 GTX480s in performance but not price its actually 20$ cheaper :v:
Some people sure like to waste money
Seriously, Axiom. 4 SSD's?
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25529563]Some people sure like to waste money[/QUOTE]
Well, I just like to do triple monitor gaming a lot, I had a 3000$ budget that I wanted to max out so.. Yea spending the last bit of money was satisfying.
[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]
[QUOTE=thf;25529610]Seriously, Axiom. 4 SSD's?[/QUOTE]
They are low capacity ones in raid 0, 3x 64gb in raid 0 and 1 32gb for booting up.
Axiom, cut this shit right now
It's getting annoying
[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]
I mean, you like to brag a lot
[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]
Nobody cares you have the biggest computer that would pointless over 2 years
I love how you constantly rate me dumb when I had a large budget and saved up for a long time, fuck off with your jealousy, is that why you pmed me for 2 weeks telling me that your build is good enough. Its because you don't want somebody maxing your build out.
I'm not jealous over something so ridiculous
[editline]20th October 2010[/editline]
At least, I save up my money for more important things than my computer
OP.
Either grow some balls and appreciate the horsepower,
OR,
Get some nice headphones.
Wait a minute...
HOW ABOUT YOU DO BOTH and save us your whiny "It's too powerful for me" speeches.

Everyone in this thread suddenly wants to kill me.
I just wanted some advice, is it too much to ask. I didn't ask for your help on a moral level, I was asking for examples of how exactly loud and hot this card'll get and how much is within handling. So far all you've done is bitch and whine about how ungrateful I am and how I need to respect my mom. Seriously. GIVE. ME. THE. GOD. DAMN. FACTS.
Axiom, you're derailing the fuck out of my thread. Go away.

Facts are go:
-Runs hot if you keep it on automatic fan adjustment, make your own fan profile in afterburner/rivatuner/precision etc.
-Gets loud but not as loud as my old P4 system, (The 470 goes VRRYYYYYY and my P4 system goes WHOOOOOOOO-KSHHH-WHOOOOOO)
-Bottom line you shouldnt throw this one out, it would unwise and generally stupid. Great card, but you really just have to deal with it.

You're probably lying about half the shit you say, I remember you complained about someone buying 2 gtx 480s and saying "your fucking rich you lucky bastard."

:h:
I can deal with the noise I suppose.
After all it's going to be closed in, under a desk, in a little compartment.
And according to some websites it gets as loud as my laptop under maximum load, which isn't too bad considering my laptop is directly in front of my face.
[editline]22nd October 2010[/editline]
And there's always alternate methods if there's problems, however the card was designed for heat after all.

Dear god, what? Sounds like you're locking it away in a drawer or something. How does your computer get fresh air if its in a drawer?
