So, if I get this right, this gpu is soooo power hungry and inefficient and runs therefore so hot that Nvidia standard fitted it with water cooling... Let's connect it to the central heating of your house :D

Not sure if that was directed at me (might as well have been) but if so, did I mention my faulty baseboard heating? Here at college the heat is on so high that I have an air conditioner running 24/7 :eek: but at home, my room is frequently in the 7-10º C range, so having a GPU to heat the room would be silly, but welcome. Thing is, I'd blow the circuit. I can't believe it uses so much power. Hence I'd have to use my custom machine (still not built) somewhere the wiring isn't 50+ years old.

Oh look it's this thread again.

It looks like nVidia did take the gaming path with GK104 and the scalable GPCPU with GK110.
