[citation][nom]Mottamort[/nom]I can't help myself but say this : try taking your own advice much?Oh and something maxing out at 92C which ISN'T causing alarm (if not for your card, then for the other half-melted components in your system) is rather strange...I don't care what NVidia say about it, 90C+ scares the crap out of me. I wouldn't put that card NEAR my system...[/citation]
The heat goes right out the back. I guess you also will not be running a 5970, or think they are scarey, since they are a whopping 4C cooler under load.
I've got a GTX295 that has been peaking at around 90C in my system for almost a year and it has absolutely no impact on the temps of other devices since all that heat blows right out of the case.
In total, I have two case fans, Noctuas, which push/pull air through the system and my CPU is overclocked from 2.66 to 4ghz. It never gets over 70C even with prime95 running.
I'm not sure why so many completely misinformed people manage to still be on this site, happily spewing their opinions in the face of facts and common sense. It is just incredible. Then again, I don't exactly see any Tom's articles resolving myths of heat and how to cool a PC the proper way. People just tend to form some group opinion, then it gets cycled through these comments as "facts" over and over. Really sad, actually. Since you'd think someone with enough brains to overclock a CPU without a hand-holding should understand things like airflow on some level.
