8800GT: How Loud is it?. Right now im debating on whether to get a 3780 or 8800GT. Yaeh i know the 8800GT performs better in benchmarks, but ive heard its very very loud and has heat problems. How loud is this thing, and does the fan ever switch off? While...

connect a molex cable to the 8800GT, but the installation instructions say nothing about any additional cables. . Ok chaps. Got myself a zotec 8800GT. Whipped my old 6600GT out, moved some components around to make some space, followed the installation instructions...

best value, which I also agree with, but considering that an aftermarket cooler will cost about $30-40 more I feel that its well worth it. I first went with a BFG 8800GT and it was to loud and got a bit warm. Now I'm running an EVGA 8800GTS and couldn't...

here as well. The 880gt is HOT running. Limits the OC potential. Of course you CAN put a after market cooler on it, tho thats just MORE money. Itll be interesting to see an optimised driver for this card. Oh, the 8800gt is LOUD too Isn't cat 7.11 due out soon,...

reviews of the Sapphire Vapor-X line. An 8800GT with the stock heatsink and fan would be louder. Okay, as long as I can get a 4890 or 275 that is quieter than my loud 8800GT I'm not sure why sound is so important. Are your speakers so bad that you can hear...

might want to give it a try. ok..but how i can "crank" it? thanks Use . Be warned, the stock 8800GT cooler is LOUD when it goes above ~50%. Like Xbox 360 loud. I am running an 8800gt 512 and overclocked the core to 640, shadersto 1700 and mem to 1100.....

Budget buying 9600gt or 8800gt. I've found two cards in my budget that I'm willing to spend. I run games normally at 1280-1024 and plan fully to overclock either one of these. The 9600gt I would be purchasing is new, but the 8800gt I would be purchasing is...

PCB instead of the typical 8800GT 4 pin heared. This is what I thought of my loud reference 8800GT fans ;) There are two versions to the 8800GT reference heatsink. The original has the smaller diameter fan like my BFG's. The new style with larger...

to need some serious balls to drive the thing for games. Assume a E8400 CPU. Previously, I was going to get the 9600GT because I was just going to run a 1280x1024 LCD. Anyway, reading the review for the card, they said it was loud, where as the 8800GT...

But it's downside is that it is somewhat loud for a media PC and if noise is any concern, it would need something like a VF900 added to the budget to silence it. But although it's just a 2-pin fan header and runs full speed, it not nearly as loud as an 8800GT...
