If it came off easy then that's your issue. Be sure to get some before/after temps recorded! You'll be amazed if you get to run a 620 right on the die of your card. It'll be sooo cool! Just make sure you use a thin viscosity paste! Thick pastes like ceramique tend to build a layer between the two surfaces.

The OEM Cooler Master thermal paste is actually quite good. It is better than OCZ Freeze in my experience. I am using it on my 570 and my CPU right now. wink.gif

Ya I can, when I only had 1 card I had it running from the Molex. The pumps are running full though from the sound of them and the temp readings. I think I need to get another adapter though, and hide these ugly cables thumb.gif

Well I used that PSU Calculator tool http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine and with some guess work I am at the recommended PSU ~740W is recommended. I think my PSU is ok. I used 90% load with 10% capacitor aging. I might think about looking at a 900W PSU though.
I need to get myself a KillaWatt.

Duel 470s won't really push the PSU that hard; those power calculators generally give you readings that are much higher than the actual power consumption. Here's the actual power consumption in practice:

Ya that is my thought, the PSU fan must be a little aggressive then. This is the most juice I have asked of it, the box gets slightly warm but the airflow is still cool, so I know I am not pushing it past its' rating. I don't think it is any other fan, but I could be wrong. All the temps are below 60'c (CPU, GPU 1, GPU 2). thinking.gif

Buy a really loud fan to drown out the noise from the power supply.
