overheating problems with your nVidia 780i SLI motherboard? EVGA or some other name is on it, no doubt, but that tends to make little/no difference. But unbeknownst to most is the tolerances are very high for the chips. MCP (south bridge) and NPP (north bridge) are like 86 C° to 120 C° ! The Nvida 9800 GTX/GTX+ GPU is like 120 C° and the CPU shouldnt get over 72 C° unless you're using a modded 486 HSF, or fanless metal arrangement. Those things can be huge.
I've been running strong since September of 2008 (5 months ago), and as much as unreal tournament's physx mods cook my GPU's they've never failed and I've never had an overheat failure yet.
Set the Nvidia control panel to alert you once components reach certain temps. that way i know when to unplug myself from the eye candy or pi calculations for a while.
