I have no interest in overclocking or overvolting (I am already rock-steady at 60 FPS playing TF2 at 1920 x 1200 with all settings maxed), but I do find the fan control and OSD to be convenient. After a horrid experiance with the GTX280, it's nice to watch the GPU temp just sit there at 40-41° with the fans at 50-60%.

Source is something like 8 years old now and doesn't take much to run. Going for 60+ on Far cry 3 max settings and anything else that comes out this year and next. Left rooms to expand with a 3ed sli in 1.5 to 2 years.

Yeah, I know. The 280 probably degraded with age. Still annoys me. I'm not gonna clutter this thread with that argument.

Every PC power supply I have ever seen is configured such that the fan draws air from inside the case and exhausts it out the back.
Are you saying that your power supply draws air in from the outside via the back, and exhausts it into the case?

Stop watching Fox, it will help with that.
