May I kindly ask, to those who know better, if a cooler like the Founders Edition blowing the heat in the back of the computer is recommended in a closed computer case situation, like the MSI AERO?
Given that most cards with different cooler might end up at a roughly equivalent maximum OC, maybe the rear exhaust type of these cards are helping the temperature for other components inside the case?
Thanks a lot

Thank you for your inputs !
While products like the MSI Twin Frozr or lighting (and other similar) are attractive products, the way they dissipate heat is like: <>
I'm thinking of purchasing the MSI AERO OC (1771 MHz) and maybe have the video card hotter but lowering the CPU/Board/Memory temperatures!
What do you think, do motherboards and component stuff really suffering for having hot air blowing on them ?

There are, only I don't really see the appeal as only a bad temperature management concept needs you to blow the hot air out these days. Check them out here:

"Issue" "solved"
Clever wording. More like Nvidia's intentionally low fan speed increased for consumer release. Tech journalists and forum members should not let Nvidia get away with this kind of stuff so easily; its pretty clear what the plan was.
Release intentionally gimped review cards to the websites. Let them show off low fan speeds and noise in their mostly open-air test benches, on benchmarks that don't run for longer than 5-10 minutes where the card can maintain its boost frequency. Then, once its time for them to go into homes, just released a "fix" for the "issue" to bring fan noise up, and give them the performance at a significantly higher sound penalty.
It's been a problem with a number of generations of cards where the fan curve is simply not aggressive enough, and will not allow boost clocks for more than a few minutes. It's not technically a lie, since boost clocks are never guaranteed, but the intention is pretty clear; create a card that runs benchmarks better than it plays games. Update the fan speeds once the reviews are done. Basically Volkswagen.

So the question is has the new driver worked? If yes then this just goes to show how card death's could of happened with poorly released drivers that cause HW faults or the longevity of a cards life that may be damaged over time.
Luckily people get on to these things pretty quickly these days and that's down mainly to people like us who like to tinker and watch numbers and monitor our expensive machines.
Without people like us these things may slip into mainstream use and cause people to believe the HW is at fault.
