Sorry I was just checking if this was April the first.

My word. Fingers crossed they've got the old George Formby Grill sorted by then. Turned out nice again...

I can see it now:

July 1st, 2010 - Ski resorts have now made an official law concerning Fermi based laptops. According to sources vacationers that often bring their laptops with them are now banned from taking them anywhere outside of their resort rooms. According to records 2 avalanches have occurred already because of the heat produced by the integrated GPUs from NVIDIA.

One victim had this to say, "I didn't really think it would do any harm. My laptop was getting really hot to the touch so I put it on a blanket on the snow. Next thing I new the snow started shifting and I was tumbling down with it."

hehe we're still hanging onto this hot tag ic. Wouldn't blame you, there's little press about how they're hitting 90 @ 850+.

I actualy have a mate who got one and i had to go arround and fix his system. I would have never of though on my life how hot these realy were untill i saw it with my own eyes.

We had to get him a new case and go water cooled with the PC. That to me is stupid.I have never in my life recommended some one go water cooling just because there GPU got hot. well no this hot any way. The temp inside his case was 70c , the temp on the GPU was 99c. that was a complete and totally utter piss take.

the temps were taken with a laser temp moniter as well. so god know what it was realy putting out on the core it self.

The card will crap out @ 105. So u got about 6 degrees b4 making a decision, which if the case is currently rocking @ 70 internally, it will get worse in the summer. 70 internally leads me to think the case is not exhausting.

I take it this is without the bios upd8 or even a voltage tweak ? Retail cards are hitting 90 with the tweaks and oc, so I have no idea wtef is going on with ur m8s. Don't cut the fan down either, u have to put up with the stupid hurricane noise !

Tbh if it was on Auto fans it shouldnt have got to 99c. I met with Nvidia Tuesday evening in London and heat and noise dont seem to be high on their "what enthusiasts want" list.

We did have some good banter mind, Im still in the school of thought that this is just the start.
