Bit hotter than I had hoped, but to be fair I was dreaming. Still getting 3 though :D

Video doesn't really tell much though. Could have been Furmark for all we know and that's a card killer. Nor do we know the ambient. Really doesn't tell much tbh and add in the fact the front of the die that's actually releasing more heat is cooler than the back of the die as it's in contact with the cooler. So the original article was basically click bait:p

Really 3? Yikes:p
I'm getting 3 too but they aren't all for me. I'm just the only person with Prime shipping lol:)
Hopefully stock is good so there's no limit per household or anything.
 
although i can't see the video (its gone :( ) the picture looks like how all blower style coolers work. all the heat is meant to be at that end as energy from the fan dissipates as it goes along the card. most aftermarket coolers wont have this heat build up as it dissipates the heat from every angle, the down side to this is that heat is released into the rest of your case instead of out the rear. besides 72 degrees is not anything to worry about.

I dont have an AMD build at the moment, just recently used the spare x99 and built a 290x trifire to give to a friend. Okay more like a brother.

So its gonna be X99 refresh and 3 watercooled 480s along with another all ssd build. Mech drives are a no go now.
