no ive read nothing but bad with that on
 
furmark so far
95C before the fan decides to go faster on auto fan ....  evga needs to set the speed up temp lower 80ish would be nice lol (yes i know eleet can do that but it also sometimes locks it at 40% fan speed (had that happen a couple times ive got a monitor set to alarm @92c just in case.
lol crysis 2 doesn't make the fan run full tilt lol

froze again lol it's  funny i can run minecraft  all night and doesn't freeze then when i run wow or furmark it does.....
it didn't freeze on the bios that was out in may last year that was the best one. it never froze it i think it was 50 but im not 100% on that.  lol all the ones after that freeze, getting worse on every later one.

LOL Minecraft doesn't stress the GPU. Yeah, sounds like GPU freeze prob to me.
My recommendation is you uninstall any GPU setting utility you have installed now, after writing down all the current OC settings for your GPU, download and install MSI Afterburner, and set your own custom fan profile. You need to enable it in the options menu first. MSI Afterburner is awesome for Nvidia gfx. Set a profile that ramps up to max fan at/before 80C (it is fun to work with BTW). And reduce the polling interval to about 0.1 second (100mS), I think the default is 1 second (1000mS), I can't remember, it's been awhile.

I added to my previous post, plz re-read.

lol the newest version has video capture and multi card fan control from what i can see ps it looks exactly like the one evga has lol
 
im messing with fur mark (ive got the settings set so hard on fur mark my gpus running at 90c at 100% fan and its still climbing ... ps the settings are:
dynamic background on
burn-in on
xtreme burn-in on
post fx on
720p
8x msaa
on the latest one

edit spoke to soon... it froze
 
still has not froze with msi after burner on
 
furmark pushing 92c 100%fan lol that is beating on it hard lol 13 fps

furmark is desined to push it hard lol (i set it at max settings to see how hot i can get it (92c at 100% fan is not a normal temp i will see in games lol.  ive read 100c is the max on 470s

lol its 25mhz less if i remember right on all 3 settings ill have a look and make sure and change them i guess.
 
edit
it was 25mhz less for the standerd 470 non sc edition card i lowered it down anyways for testing  it still freezes lol
 
 

lol it is a bios issue lol i ran the same test that froze on bios 82 in about 15 mins for a hour and 30 mins with no freezes on bios 59  this is with everything set on  auto in the bios settings.  so it's a bug on the bios that started around when the gpu detection code was added (59 is the one before it was added)... my gpu also runs cooler on this bios than on 82, at idle it was more than 50 with auto fan on now its less than 45 (i shut off msi afterburner to make sure.) i checked the temprature with adia64.
 
on bios 82 the plugs on the graphics card are also swapped  on 59 they are the other way around lol this doesn't matter much though.  i have my cables marked so they get put back in the same way everytime.
 
also everything  is much stabler on 59 which is odd lol
 

i tried bios 64 again it seems to freeze too exactly why i remember skipping it and the next 2 after it lol. (i tested for freezing on them all.) 
77 was ok but still froze but less often, beta 80 was ok too although i never used it long enough for it to freeze (went back to 77) then to 82.
 
lol now ive got hard decision to make lol
(working graphics w/no freezes/stuttering or freezes/faster raid/sleep working.... lol)
