um, because u must of had it watercooled? I'M TALKING ABOUT OLD SCHOOL AIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

oh n Nos, it looks like the MX-2 did the trick or it's just all this cold weather from the rain, but my HD 3870 x2 is now 40 C idle, 66 n up C load. So all n all, the MX-2 brought down the temp 3-5 C then the stock thermal compound did.

Why does the gtx295 have lower mem bandwidth than the 285? Its a dual gpu card. It should have more.

its actually a GTX260 with 240SP's, it has a bus-width of 448 instead of 512

I think that most people do not alter the defualt fan speeds of their graphic cards, making temps seem quite high.

Anyone know if the GTX 295 will be dual PCB like the GX2 or will it be one PCB like ATI's X2's?

Pics and benchmarks of it are already out.

Its a dual gpu card, the mem bandwidth is lowered to allow the card to run cooler.

Its not as hot as you think it is.

hmph! Whatever!

off topic:

how do i access the fan controller in CCC for my ATI card instead of using Rivatuner?

 

[Ste]

Far As I know there is no fan controller in CCC.

I myself use ExperTool.
