GeForce GTX 480 4-way / Quad SLI - Power consumption, temperatures and noise production

In this video we show the power consumption, temperatures and noise production of an nVidia GeForce GTX 480 4-way SLI setup, using four Point-of-View GeForce GTX 480 cards and an EVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI mainboard. The benchmark used is FurMark. The power consumption maxes at almost 1500 Watts, while the noise exceeds 76 decibels.

I don't understand how these things get any air when they're sandwiched together like that.

@iTzMeGzuZ Still, as we see, they run crazy hot, and the majority of air comes through the top. Best to just do water cooling if you're going to spend that kind of money on cards I think.
