Skinnee Labs - GTX480 Block Round-Up (working thread)

I second that.



Yes a triple does in fact work just fine. I have a HWLabs GTX 480 but have yet to swap it out with my PA 120.3 yet in part because I don't think my temps will get much better. With my cards at 850/2100 at stock voltage they idle at 33C and fully loaded never get over 55C.

That's incredible temps for three overclocked GTX 480's pushing more than 250 Watts per card! Have you tripped any circuit breakers with your Silverstone 1500W power supply?

Funny you should ask. It kept tripping the 15A circuit breaker I had in the breaker box so I just made a trip to the home depot and bought a bunch of supplies to beef up the wiring going to my office including a 20A circuit breaker.

The are many reviewers and people that have encountered the same issues tripping their 15A circuit breakers, most American homes only have 15A circuit breakers in the bedrooms, studies and/or dens. It's more common than you might think.

So after all there are some upsides living in the old world
