    bf3 rapes cards on the current drivers, make sure afterburners fan profile hits 100% at 80 degrees, pleased to say my 480's never go above 55 degrees in BF3 thanks to water cooling

    is there any news on when new drivers will be out so my cards don't cook?

    the fact bf3 uses most of the features of the card i wouldn't expect any magic driver that will cut 10 degrees off the card.

    Re: HOT SLI 570s!

    whats the best way for me to cool them down then? would it be a watercooling loop just for my gpu's? or would it be better to do both the gpu's and the cpu? also brands, i have heard some things about EK and the block being faulty what would i be best to go with?

    Re: HOT SLI 570s!

    trying to cool all 3 with one pump would be hard work, EK are fine.

    Space the cards out if possible and ensure the airflow in your case is EXCELLENT.

    EK had a few issues with nickel plating a little while back.

    As for the OP, if you have two high powered graphics cards side by side then there's not much chance of keeping them cool with air. As previously said, you need a nice healthy gap between them and a lot of airflow through the case.

    Re: HOT SLI 570s!

    Have you guys got vsync enabled or are your cards running flat out?

    Twin 570s here too but there's a two slot gap between them with plenty of air cooling. I've previously run SLI 260s, without a gap. After experiencing the heat and noise from the strangled top card, there's no way I'd use that setup again; either a decent gap or water cooling from then on really.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    vsync on bf2 at the moment causes a lot of rubber banding so its not an option in the games current state.
