Retail 460's are proving to be noisy SOB's because the manu's sent non retail kit to the review sites so that they all come out quiet, cool and rosy. Now people are getting them in their hands they are finding they have different fans, different cowls and missing heatsinks to shave costs.

There are reference 460's so blocks shouldn't be a problem.

I'd get more PPD or RAC with 2 x 460's than 1 480, it would use pretty much the same power and would cost less to buy.

But by all means if you want core only blocks then thats fine as well I just thought there might be people in the liquid cooling section interested in the subject of blocks for what will probably be a popular card.
