Thanks! Interesting. I've been seeing much higher temps for some people gaming/benchmarking on the 460, though I haven't paid much attention to their speeds.
My two cards are running 9°C apart. Both running at the same settings and pulling similar PPD. I was thinking the higher temps I'd seen might be due to running in enclosed cases, but looking at this, I'd say a lot of vairiability might just be due to how good the TIM was applied.
Thanks for the data!

Well to add that variable in ...the side is off my case...as it always is. I can check it with it on.
EDIT: Not much difference 44c and now an occasional 45c with side on. I got lucky with this one... stock HS/fan mounting.

Sure! More data is always appreciated.
Though considering I've got mine on a completely open benching station, and one is running hotter and one is running colder than your's, I suspect it might not change that much...
Edit: Sorry missed your question. One card is running at 48°C and the other is running at 39°C

Maybe this will help? Fan speed is at 75% and ambients were in the low 70's

Temps should be slightly lower when folding from what I have seen. Especially the last few days, some wierd WU's that are only getting temps to half of what they normally are, but giving tons of ppd

No, I think we've pretty much killed my idea that the type of case is going to make a big difference in temps for these cards.
I know running an open benching station makes a big difference for really high temp cards like the 9800 GX2 or the GTX 295, but it looks like the GTX 460 doesn't need that much help to keep temps down.

Ok lemme know if you need anything at all. I have tons of cards I can throw in to do testing.
these screenshots were done in an open side panel case with good air flow sitting on the floor. temps may be lower than i think. High 60's

Well, my theory got pretty well trashed, so I'm not following up on it anymore.
But if you feel the urge to expand the data pool, I would be interested to see how they compare.
