    yeah this is surely another nice build  
     
    Although them 3rd party GTX 480 coolers do look larger than dual slot right? None the less they do seem to be alot less noisier than the stock GTX 480 coolers I believe

    Yeah the after market coolers are more than dual slot, more like 2.5.
     
    The gelids were such a great choice, there were the arctic cooling extreme? i think? but each one was like 99.99+shipping+taxes!  Also I got the rev2 gelids which should work out with the 500 series if ever I do want to upgrade hehe
     
    And yeah they are super quiet, i run them at 60% each and they cool much better and remain quieter than my case fans.

    In furmark for 30 minutes.  The top 480 maxes out at 70-71c while the bottom one maxes out at 60c.
     
    And these are with the fans at 60%
