just chiming in because I got Koolance blocks for my 470s and am very happy with them... getting 30c idle and 40c - 45c (820/1640/1900 w 1.087v) gaming load (dep on the game).. the top card which is a frame buffer for two displays seems to run about 1 or 2c warmer than the bottom on even though it gets the coolant first and I have fans move air around and between them.

OCCT makes the cards hit 60c after a while... never seen even close to that while gaming though.

one thing I noticed about the install with my 470s, I had to use the thicker (pink) thermal pads for the areas over the chokes on my cards otherwise there was a tiny gap I could see with a flashlight between some of the chokes and the pad... I had to take one block off and start over, but only burned about 15 or 20 mins really.. don't know if you guys noticed the same on the 480 or not..

Anyways, on the whole nice looking and good performing blocks from Koolance!
