**Gigabyte Super OC GTX 480's - VERY LOW PRICES!**

So. The replacement card doesn't seem to solve any problems. It's also unstable at the advertised speeds. Have raised a ticket with Gigabyte rather than OcUK this time, since that seems to be what other people here are doing.

send them an email asking for an RMA. their ticket system takes FOREVER! Infact, I'm still waiting for a reply! their e-mail: [email protected]

Clearly not!
 
I seem to have managed to get mine to as good as GTX580 speeds/performance -with reasonable temps -so thumbs up-even if not as easy as advertised/should be

well its no where near stock volts

but if its cool enough and stable enough in games (and itpassed 20 mins of Furmark) - and Heaven

then its near enough I think
 
this one isn't 20 mins of Furmark stable but fine in BFBC2 - Crysis 2 etc (4 hrs of BFBC2 today)

gets quite warm in games-86C or so max -but who cares if stable

cheers :)

still got my eyes on a Sandy next month - but been ill this week with a tooth infection

not only does it hurt like anything !!( on antibiotics atm- had to cancel my half marathon today -really annoying when you've been training for it) - but the hurt is double fold as its a tooth thats already been root canaled etc etc - so it needs surgery to be sorted proper for the long term...thats at least £500

aaargh - that was less then my planned Sandy upgrade ! :( darn

oooer... unlucky!
What's the highest temps your 480 reaches? I think my 580 may actually be overheating :(
 
Cleeccoo - at normal-ish voltages no more than 81-82C in games

at max voltage and high clocks - 86C or so after several hours of BFBC2

after 20 mins of Furmark and at 1.1V it just nudges 100C- but still stable

but normal games nowhere neear that

at 1.038V and mid 700 clocks - game temps are more like mid-high 70s
