[hash70]

hi ive been getting random shutdown recently with 116 blue screen,my pc with i7 930 4.2ghz has ran at the same bio settings for nearly 2 years.ive jst checked my temps with afterburner,my gpu overclocks were 830/1662/1848 voltage1050 and full fan but temps were getting over a 100c.ive reset to stock clocks 700/1401/1848 with stock voltage 1.025 ,fan speed stock 54 and temps are 74c/bottom card 84c/top card,i know fermi is hot but temps shouldnt be that high right?

if that's under load it is fine.

This. The 480s were noted as very hot cards anyway. Even high 80's are alright for those cards. Just keep watch of the temps when you stress them

Normal temps for these under load on reference cooling is around 92/93 so high 80's is good.

Have you cleaned both cards of late? Doing so might help.

Are you using the stock cooler? The stock one wasn't great to say the least and if you can find one I would recommend you to get a third party one like the Zalman ZF-3000 (I use one) and it will certainly help with the temps.

Yeah I agree - my 480s always ran about 89-90 for GPU1 and 74-80 for GPU2.

I am selling one of these if you require one

PCI-E Slot spacing may not allow him to use two of them.

If you plan on going down the third party cooler route, measure everything out first. The card and cooler usually take up 3 slots instead of the usual 2.

GTX 480's have always been hot cards, running Furmark on a 480 in the winter makes a good replacement for central heating, not so nice in the summer though.

I've only got one and yeah it takes up 3 PCI slots. Another thing to note the Zalman cooler is only as good as the cooling in your case. If your pc doesn't exhaust the heat it'll be worse than the standard cooler.
