it seems it runs at 1.65v as standard, i have pulled this off someones review of it is this ok? they say this is at the "top end" i wont be overclocking the ram
Don't worry about a ton of questions. That is what these forums are for and you give me something to do!this is getting expensive but i am also considering a new graphics card, on nvidea website the gtx 480 seems to out perform the gtx 560 i can can get either on ebay for about the same price if i buy a secondhand gtx 480, its probebly a silly question but would it be better to go for 480 or the 560?
sorry i have so many questions
your help is really appreciated
The 480 will for sure be faster than a vanilla 560.hmm ok, this is the 480 Point of View Nvidia GTX 480 1536MB (GTX480) | eBay
this is the 560 eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
when you say a furnace? i have a large case fan on the sides, with case fan on front and back
is the card so hot its known for failure?

The chip is a hot chip. Since this is way past release it shouldn't have any problems at all with the fan ramp. When they first came out the early models had a fan ramp problem in the bios that caused the fan to spin up to late and it would overheat and throttle. Since it has been a few years the chances of you actually getting one of these cards new is slim to none. If you have sufficient air flow then the 480 would be more performance.
Minimum recommended for a 480 is 600w. Since it can take up to 300w by itself sometimes then I would look at investing into a 650w.well i now own a 480, lol hopefully there will be no heat issues
so with this new card do you think i will require a larger PSU now?
