Coolest GTX295?

[michaelosmolski]

Guys,

Can anyone recommend or point me in the direction of some reviews comparing Gefore GTX295 cards and their temperatures at idle and load? I want to purchase a 295 but torn between getting a reference 295 card or something like a BFG/EVGA/XFX. I hear the EVGA with backplate can lower temps under load by quite a margin, however, £500 for a card which can cost less than £400 is a bit extreme to say the least!

All I am concerned about is temps. If there is a 295 that runs under load between 65 and 75 then tell me where this baby is....

cheers!

Why are you so concerned with temps? The cards are designed to get that hot.

Eww, those back plates do nothing. You could give me that £20 you'd spend on it, at least it would have ended up being a more productive spend.
