That entire heatsink on each card is saturated at 50C! Holy hell on a crutch!
Are those IR pics accurate? That seems excessive... if it actually is 40 - 50C, what's going to happen to them in hot weather?
Maybe Jeff can heat up a room to 85F or so and let it run to see what happens.
Why would he want to do that? I think we can guess what happens. Either they slow down or it hits a temp cutoff that shuts down mining. FYI, high temperatures will have adverse effects on mining operations. What happens to BFL singles when they get too hot, they down-clock until they are within the optimal temperature range.

Inaba: Hey, lets do some scientific and procedural testing so we can determine an outcome given a set of constants (hardware) and variables (temperature).
Dalkore: That's stupid. It's either going to be situation A or situation B. I don't know which, and I have no way of finding out unless we follow Inaba's suggestion, but it's still stupid.
Really?
