Regardless of how it is looked at the surrounding case temps tell the story. 480s bleed crap loads of heat into a case. Anyone considering SLI better have insane airflow or plan to go the watercooling route otherwise their overall system temps are surely going to suffer substantially. These appear to be at least as bad as the 4870x2s ( mine made a good 10-15C difference on my northbridge on my x48 board and a good 5C increase on other components at full load )
