power is lost, you may be unable to restart your computer.

Hmm, I'm testing from outside EVGA and it seems to be OK from here.

The FPB is for GTX 460 only.

Why? The fans can already be set to 100%.
The 104 GPU's must be really good if EVGA is confident they can all run at these overclocks. My Vanilla 480 can't go above 745 with stock volts and 780 with 1088 mV.

Here is the answer to the SLI update question from EVGA_NickM in another thread:

Quick question for jacobf, or anyone that may know the answer, will SLI users have to remove a card to flash them one at a time? Thanks.

No, it will automatically recognize multiple cards within windows and prompt you for each one. Then restart and that's it.
