 Well, I've got a GTX 480 on my test bench here with a Core i7-975 Extreme Edition EVGA classified, some high-speed Mushkin memory, I got the OCZ Vertex LE 200 GHz SSD, so this is a pretty cool system. Anyway, I'm just installing Crysis Warhead right now, and I've also just gotten EVGA's Precision Tool installed, and I've had quite a few people ask me about the acoustics of the GTX 480. Okay, so here we go, I'm going to set the fan speed to 100%. Now, I want to give you some idea of what it's like when you're running a game and when you're not running a game, but this is just to show you what it will sound like when it's running at 100%. So the fan speed is 45 until I hit apply, 45%, and the GPU temperature is 40 degrees at idle. Now, I'm going to go ahead and click apply over there, and remember, this system has an optical drive running full bore in the background, so I'm going to get close to that so you can hear the noise level. And that's most of what you're hearing right now. Now, just also for context, I'm going to go ahead and turn the Intel stock cooler on to performance mode. Okay, so that's what that sounds like, it doesn't make much of a difference. So here we go, I'm going to kick the GTX 480 here into high gear. Yeah, that's pretty loud. Now, I'm not sure that it will actually run at that speed while you're gaming, but like I can feel the air blowing out the back of the card here. It's pretty incredible. Anyway, so there you go. Here, I'll turn it back down to 45 before I stop filming here. And it won't actually, the EVGA precision tool is funny. Even if you set the fan speed not to auto, so there, we're back to 45. Even if you set the fan speed not to auto, okay, so you take auto off and you try and turn it down, it won't let you turn it down any lower than 34, I believe. Yeah, 34 is the lowest you can go and when you're at 34, wow, you can see the GPU temperature went down three degrees just from having it on 100% for a little while. Now it's creeping its way back up. But yeah, here's what it sounds like at 34. So thank you for checking out my video on the acoustics of the GTX 480.
