I have not tried this yet, but I will tonight. I had thought about doing this, but thought the PSU should be able to handle it. It is definitely worth a shot.

The 8pin mobo connector is plugged in. I have a fan blowing directly on the Northbridge cooling fins. The GTX 280 doesn't cover the Northbridge any more than the 8800GTX did. I have not tried the card in the second PCIE slot as it is a 4x slot.
