Played a full round. Temps quickly reached their peaks and never showed signs of climbing.
Made sure SLI was disabled so the top card (the one that has reduced air flow because of sli) was working it's butt off.
GPU temp 77~81c that's incredibly cool for these GPUs... I can make them hit 100c easy with a benchmark
CPU, core sensors, highest core reports 67c... again insanely cool compared to what a bench does.
Those are my findings. The game was on Ultra and had a fps limit of 60... if that was taken off temps of the GPU would surely climb.
SLI 480's 1063mV 800/1600/2000
i7 920 @ 4Ghz
Ran quite a bit cooler than BF4. With the same fan profile, BF4 can make them roar... this game with SLI disabled and Ultra... something isn't adding up.
I'm not sure what is happening for you guys but I'd like to get to the bottom of it... It will require some work on your end testing what your temps are in another game, in a benchmark and in this game. Your load % would be interesting too. I can imagine it probably is pushing a single 660 fairly pretty high, but it should able to keep it cool. I guess I'm immune to having a jet engine beside me...

In a few days I can do it with a 4790k... I have no 3xxx generation around... unless you count my firewall but I'm not going through that trouble to tear that thing apart for this lol
