MSI GeForce GTX 480 Lightning review
















:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

This card ran roughly 35 degrees C in IDLE which is fantastic. When the GPU is stressed out 100% for several minutes the card only reaches roughly 73 degrees C. For a GeForce GTX 480 these are just great numbers as that's 17degrees C below reference temperatures.
The card is much less warm compared to the reference model, even despite a higher default GPU voltage and the factory overclock at 750 MHz. We measure at a room temperature of 21 degrees Celsius.
The end result is good alright, roughly 42 DBa of noise is coming from the PC once we really stress the GPU. This is a very normal PC audio level. Not annoying, just normal. When the card is in idle (desktop mode) you won't even hear it ....
