Happy Monday All! :) Well this is my first time posting something such as this but I had some fun benching my cards on air last night and figured I would post my results. I tried to keep everything as controlled as I could. Same amount of processes were running in background, multiple tests were run at same speeds to make sure there wasn't any fluke readings. Now mind you I never exceeded 84c during all tests, this was also at night with the A/C :P cranked and side door off an fan blowing at the pc, just to make sure I didn't have any throttling due to temps. I hope to buy some waterblocks soon, add a triple rad to my loop when I do an give this another go with a custom vbios as well. If you have any questions or requests please feel free to comment. Thanks for reading. :) As you can see Jupiter tried to help for awhile but she finally got tired an went to sleep, mind you for 2 hours of this on my head an then an hour on my hand. ;)  Anyways, here goes :) EVGA Precision Version=5.2.6.4 Nvidia Driver=347.52 K-Boost=On Classified Voltage Tool Stock Normal Bios CPU Speed= 4.5 Core Clock +101=1506 Memory +417=7840 Voltage Never Exceeded= 1.23v Measured on All Cards with Greenlee DMM.

Wow, thanks for the work, that's a quad block of awesome! I have 2 on air and have been contemplating jumping all in and going water on them, but I'm sitting tight to see what Titan X brings.

Maxwell GPUs Yep! But Not the GTX 500/600/700 Series Cards. My 4 Cards Running at 90% to 100% they only take 600 to 760 Watts.

Oh it's not a big deal, that's awesome at how more efficient they are even compared to the 700 series.
