Review GeForce GTX 580 in 3-Way SLI: Is it Really That Good?

Power Consumption

GPU Temperatures

Before putting three GeForce GTX 580s cards into your casing, be sure that you have plenty of space and sufficient airflow to minimize heat buildup. Placing three graphics card right next to one another means restricted air intakes. As such, we recorded different temperatures between GPU 1 (on leftmost card, closest to the processor), GPU 2 (on the middle card) and GPU 3 (on rightmost card). During our test, room temperature hovered at around 27 degree Celsius.
