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

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:13.799
EVGA classified some uh highspeed

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.720
mushkin memory I got the ocz vertex Le

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

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.320
installing crisis Warhead right now and I've also just gotten evga's Precision

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

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:38.160
um of the GTX 480 okay so here we go I'm going to set

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.879
the fan speed to 100% now I want to give

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

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

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

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

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.680
and remember this system has an optical drive running full boore in the

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:07.479
background so I'm going to get close to that so you can hear the noise

00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:11.080
level and that's most of what you're hearing right now now just also for

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.840
context I'm going to go ahead and turn the Intel stock cooler onto performance

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:23.320
mode okay so that's what that sounds like it doesn't make much of a

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

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:36.200
gear yeah yeah that's pretty loud now

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:39.920
I'm not sure that it'll actually run at

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.600
that speed while you're gaming but like

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

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:52.079
incredible anyway so uh there you

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.479
go here I'll turn it back down to 45

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.439
before uh before I sto filming here and it won't actually the EVGA Precision

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:05.439
Tool is funny it even if you set the fans speed not to Auto so

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.520
there we're back to 45 even if you set

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:34.959
