Yeah the 280 wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Guys had me scared of it before I ever got it. It's really not that bad on air, but it really comes alive with water. They have alot in them and you can get alot more out of them with water.

I've had mine up to max clocks already just to see it, but the heat is out of control at max clocks. It needs water badly. Water really does help them. Talonman did a thread in the Water forum, and he has awesome clcoks and temps. I can't even touch what he's getting but for only a few seconds loaded, and then have to back out.

I hope they get all these new cards to run a bit cooler, and maybe increase the shader clocking headroom a bit. I'm still a single card fan. If I need more I can always SLI another one.
