Is this a replacement 480soc or not? Also, what is your card's serial number? (just the four first digits to tell the batch date).
Thanks.

No this is my first one i bought . It fails tests with occt and heaven artifacts with it at default 1025v so i was going to send it back but i upped the V's to 1050 and it is stable now
The occt i used to test is the new beta 5 OCCT 4
Temps are about the same with the increse of the v's mind you i have 2 outlet fans one above each card to draw the heat out the back and 2 x 120 fans blowing directly at the cards one on the side one blowing from the back of the cards to the back of the case and then all the prefitted fans on the HAF X case PLUS 3 fans on the rad at the top that push air through to 2 x 200mm fans at the top pulling the air OUT of the rad and out of the case
I MUST SAY THIS IS LOUD I CAN HARDLY HEAR MYSELF TYPE
But keeps quite acceptable temps

It's all good then, glad it worked for you. I also have an extra fan (side fan 12cm) blowing towards the graphics card, but to be honest, I see no difference in temps between low rpm and high rpm. Seems like the windforcex3 does all the job and doesn't care about an extra help...
Anyway, I wait for my replacement card to arrive tomorrow, will post back.

To void or not to void. That is the question

Please excuse me but can't we keep it just about GTX480 SOC problems, as the topic title says? There are now some 45 pages of messages and it's already very hard to keep track of relevant new ones.
I don't understand how these "gtx580" messages contribute to our problem... Don't mean to judge anybody, just trying to solve my graphics card problem...

This is weird indeed, and not only that but they also keep on selling the same batch, as it seems from this thread (same revision 1.1 and same manufacturing date 11/2010). They (i.e. Gigabyte) don't even bother issuing a new bios or an announcement, nothing.

45th week of 2010 mine was made by the way
just for referance.

Thanks, mine too. I'll be very disappointed if my replacement will be of the same batch (i.e. S/N: 1045xxxxxxxxxxx). Less than 20h waiting time...

! TouchDown what is your voltage !
Associate
Well, you mean what was my voltage since I RMAed my card (check sig) and a new gtx480 soc is expected to arrive tomorrow (saturday) morning. Unfortunately I can't recall what my stock voltage was. I remember though that once problems started to appear, I tested many values (1.050, 1088, 1.1) with no luck. I even underclocked my card below gtx480 stock speed (<700Mhz) and I still have had the well-known problems.
