Yeah that last bit has me worried, Bren was livid when I told him I went against his advice and bought EVGA.

I think they just got a bad batch of Fermi chips when 480 dropped, there were a LOT of bad to mediocre ones out there from all brands.

So how pissed are you guys going to be when the mods to bypass the 300w limit is under NDA and only the cool kids get to play?

As soon as the power draw exceeds a predefined limit, the card will automatically clock down and restore clocks as soon as the overcurrent situation has gone away. NVIDIA emphasizes this is to avoid damage to cards or motherboards from these stress testing applications and claims that in normal games and applications such an overload will not happen.

Always hope for the best for all my brochachos....its always a crap shoot. I am glad my wingman is bringin the 580's to the party this weekend.

Great news: Dentlord will be doing the Tuslan convention with me this weekend! We plan to go thru at least 150 liters and see how much damage we can do. This is the convention that OC did with me last year. I will stream most, if not all of it, so you guys can check it out if you want. I will make a separate thread with livestream links on friday.
