00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:09,480
well I've got a GTX 480 on my test bench here with a core i7 975 extreme Edition

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,799
EVGA classified some uh highspeed

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,720
mushkin memory I got the ocz vertex Le

4
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:21,960
200 gig SSD so this is a pretty uh pretty cool system anyway um I'm just

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:27,320
installing crisis Warhead right now and I've also just gotten evga's Precision

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,480
Tool installed and I've had quite a few people ask me about the acoustics of the

7
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:38,160
um of the GTX 480 okay so here we go I'm going to set

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,879
the fan speed to 100% now I want to give

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,039
you some idea of what it's like when you're running a game and when you're

10
00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:48,360
not running a game but this is just to show you what it will sound like when

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:54,760
it's running at 100% so the fan speed is 45 until I hit apply 45% and the GPU

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:59,199
temperature is 40° at idle now I'm going to go ahead and click apply over there

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,680
and remember this system has an optical drive running full boore in the

14
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:07,479
background so I'm going to get close to that so you can hear the noise

15
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:11,080
level and that's most of what you're hearing right now now just also for

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,840
context I'm going to go ahead and turn the Intel stock cooler onto performance

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,320
mode okay so that's what that sounds like it doesn't make much of a

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,600
difference so here we go I'm going to kick the uh GTX 480 here into high

19
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:36,200
gear yeah yeah that's pretty loud now

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:39,920
I'm not sure that it'll actually run at

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,600
that speed while you're gaming but like

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:48,840
I can feel the air blowing out the back of the card here it's um it's pretty

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,079
incredible anyway so uh there you

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,479
go here I'll turn it back down to 45

25
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:59,439
before uh before I sto filming here and it won't actually the EVGA Precision

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:05,439
Tool is funny it even if you set the fans speed not to Auto so

27
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,520
there we're back to 45 even if you set

28
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:12,520
the fan speed not to Auto okay so you take Auto off and you try and turn it

29
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:18,959
down it won't let you turn it down any lower than 34 I believe yeah 34 is the

30
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:23,319
lowest you can go and when you're at 34 wow you can see the GPU temperature went

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,400
down 3° just from having it 100% for a little while now it's creeping its way

32
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:34,959
back up but yeah here's what it sounds like at 34 so thank you for checking out

33
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,959
