Well yeah as i said, if you reach thermal limits that's entirely different (and maybe the 480's are hot enough beasts to do that ?), and that would of course fall back to the same priorities as for CPUs - but with watercooling i never had such problems on a GPU even when torturing them with furmark and such. I found out CPU's are way much more sensitive to temperatures (and that i can reach the thermal limit on my i7)
