To be fair its temps whilst running heaven benchmark actually wasn't that bad. Sure the fan is loud but when the microphone is right next to it, ofc it is lol. If you put a 5870 on 50% fanspeed it sounds very similar to that

Problem is, every single website bar none, says the fan is far louder than a 5870, most websites say under the same load, in games, furmark, whatever usage the Fermi's are quite a bit louder, with a 480gtx louder thana 5970 let alone a 5870.

Fermi isn't really the card to go for, for silent running. Then again a heavily overclocked 5850 really wants some improved cooling for silence, if you want to go 900Mhz +, increase voltage and keep the temps somewhat sane.
 
I remember this egg-cooking-on-graphics-card-bisiness being done many years ago, with something like a 6800. The egg partially cooked... so it's funny how a 480 wont cook one as well.

I'm positive my crossfire 5870's would cook some eggs.
 
what every other website fails to tell us also, is that the fan is no louder than a 285 at full load and no-where near as loud as a 295 at full load, and I dont hear anyone complaining about the 285/295 fan noise.

you obviously didn't watch the video, congrats lol.

And yeah the reviews say otherwise so perhaps this guys equipment wasn't set up properly (diode was on the heatsink not the core etc)

set up properly for what? he didnt want to measure the core temperature did he? the whole point of the 'experiment' was to see if that plate was hot enough to fry an egg.



what good does measuring the core do?:confused:

It was actually a cpu and it was way before the 6800 line.
