BIG, and is cool, quiet, and power efficient (check my sig). I consider the 8800 series to be a pilot's gift from nVidia's egineering Guru's, the minor exception being that nVidia's rear exhaust cooling solution is half-assed compared to ATI's excellent rear...

I'm after the coolest solution possible. I would like to know which is quietest/coolest; a non-reference card with cooler, or a cheap 4870 with an AC TT. THe palit Dual edition and the Visiotek with the dual fan cooler runs EXTREMELY cool. Although its not...

that people have been writing about is the temps on the 8800gt, due to the single slot cooling solution. There are some companies (forget where I read this) that are offering Dual slot cooling solutions on the 8800gt and that would be the best way to go, as...

and keep the CPU as inactive as possible through the use of hardware acceleration. A high-end HTPC would have more money spend on quiet cooling solutions and less on ZOMG k00l grafix, d00dz! The worst case (processor intensive) stuff nowadays is high bitrate...

on that integrated HD4200 video on that 785G mobo? Even though it is passively cooled that is one pricey HD 4670 :ouch: Since the real usage here will be HTPC, and then architecture programs, your #1 priority will be quiet cooling solutions. Lower-power...
