What core OC you running with now khemist? If I blow really hard on mine, I can just about reach 185. Not sustainable though for general performance. Although the fan isn't the loudest at 85% it still perforates my ear drums

190 (1340).
If anyone is interested in my PCI-E 2.0 versus 3.0 comparison, take a look here:

Wow ! I just use a single 680 but was so interested in your rig and setup I just had to keep reading..
Great stuff Vega, thanks for your time to post the updates on your Rig build and test results.
Amazing.
AM.
You see, that's what people would forget. Even tho 480's are hot and use more power, You never needed to put the heating on when using your system.
So you broke even with the power used by the 480, on your heating bill.
Never a truer word said in jest.
I fold for bit-tech, so I leave my rigs on 24/7. I turned off the central heating radiator in my room 18 months ago when I bought 2x480s and water cooled them.
It wasn't until my system died (motherboard) that my room got cold.
Out of interest, and to save me trawling the internet for the answer, these 680's - do they work ok on PCI-E 2.0 boards such as my Rampage 2 Extreme? I seem to remember them beign backwards compatible, but I'm not entirely sure what that actually means to the performance of them, and I've not seen anything on my favourite sites yet.. In truth, I've not really looked very hard...
Many thanks
Tatty
That'll teach me... just spotted:

My Gigabyte 680 running 2 monitors idles at 38 degrees. Battlefield 3 max temps 62 degrees in my rig. Stock cooling on the Gigabyte.
That does seem pretty high. Just check that the fan speed is set to Auto, as it shouldn't be getting up to 80C.
Where would I go about checking for that please?
80c is fine, the idle temp seems high though
Yeah the idle is strange I just installed afterburner to check fan speeds. Was set to auto when the gpu idled at 62c the fan speed was at like 25% I manually set the min to 50% and the idle temps temps dropped to like 45c.
My computer room is pretty hot tbh doesn't help its in the same room as hot water tank and family have the heating on full blast probably about 30c in here with the window open
