My 8800 gtx's came today.. Sunday, April 29, 2012 12:24 AM (permalink)
and as soon as I put them in my machine I put them to fold :P
 
now one thing I noticed is that a majority of the heat coming from my case is coming from my psu. i've never noticed this before and i'm not sure if I should be worried or not since the psu fan is working at what it seems like 100% and has a lot of heat coming out of it. Before I just had my 260 core 216 in there with a 560 and I never really checked the heat coming out of it so I cannot compare but I am guessing the 8800's are pulling in more wattage than the old set up. 
 
so my top gpu was at 78c while my bottom was at 68c with 100% fan on both and so I put a fan on the side of both of them (which is being supported on top of my psu) and now they're at 66c top and 67c for the bottom one. So I was wondering if it would conflict with the airflow of the psu since it blows into the case? (the fan I added) since I don't want this thing to blow since it's the only one I have. 
 
Also one more thing, my PPD on my CPU has dramatically gone down. I mean like, before with my gtx 260 it was at about 21k. (core i7 2600k @ 4.4) and now since i've added the 8800's it's gone down to 16k. What's with that?
 
Sorry for the long post! Any help is appreciated! ;)
