Are all the GTX 295's the same? are they all refrence designs cause ive tried my second BFG and both Squeal terribly.

Im debating going to a phenom II instead of a Core i7 so i can swing GTX 285 SLI vs a GTX 295 with the core i7 which should give me a better gaming experience?
 
I'd buy the Core i7. Video cards come and go. Later on when DX11 comes out you'll be wanting another one. I would also consider buying the Core i7 with just one GTX 285.
 
imo, the gtx295 seemed to be a desperate attempt by nvidia to gain the performance crown. Sandwiching two card together like that just seemed lazy and is a poor design choice. Heat would be horrible. I would go with i7, it would last you longer than this card would.
 
Yea i have a 295 now had it about 3 days but the thing is going back it idles in the mid 60;s loads about 95C its loud, and under load the power circuits sound like they are about to launch into orbit. Does anyone know if the 285's suffer a similar fate as far as the squealing goes? I guess most of the 295's do it from what ive read.
