    Graphics Card Get Proper Cooling

    I've always feared to go SLI because of one reason and one reason only- heat. Just a few hours ago I stumbled upon my dream. A GTX580 with Closed liquid cooling. It's exactly how the Corsiar H70 works, but connected to a GPU. Always. They also have a second edition in which it is both a CPU and GPU cooler. You can bet this is going into my next build.

    Forgot to say something. It comes overclocked to 857Mhz and idles at 36-8c. My current GTX480 idles somewhere between 58c to 66c. Astonishing.

        My case opens for one reason and one reason only, it's broken. Last time I air-canned my 480 it went up to those numbers. It used to be much lower. I also like how you said "I haven't cleaned my card in a month," You are expecting me to clean out my card once every month or less? You must be out of your mind. Some of us use our PCs and not just sit down trying to mod the side window to make it look like a naked ferret.

            That second one is awesome! CPU + GPU liquid cooling built-in? Brilliant!

              just clean it once every 3 months. take out the can and qtip... while watching some tv.
              Cleaning the fan blades on the video cards are annoying though.
              When will they have detachable ones that can go in the dishwasher... everything else in the world can go in there.

              On another note... I found one of my intakes for my fan actually has a filter.

                    XL? You're optimistic.
