Are you sure you just didn't get a bad mount or too much compound? edit: too slow on the post : )

Glad to hear you got it fixed! Fun being a beta tester? : ) -Tom

Looks right to me. My mb has a 24pin connector and I have a 20 pin connector plugged into it from the ps. Too bad these things are so new, the ideal solution would be to swap the card out with another brand for testing. -Tom

I've got the sparkle 6600GT and it's working great with no problems. The drivers on nvidia site don't support the 6600 yet, I had to use drivers for the sparkle site. I have a 300 watt Antec ps with 20pin main and 4pin aux connector to the mother board. The 4pin connects near the pci-express...

I've had the Sparkle 6600GT for about a week, no problems at all. I'm using a foxconn 915 mb though. -Tom edit: added mb info

Xtreme Gear have them listed as shipping next day on their web site. I'm waiting for a reply from them on the stock status. -Tom edit: just got a reply from Xtreme Gear "The video card is currenlty not in stock. The ETA is around 10/08/04"

Sounds great, I'll be looking for the new pics. I'm water cooling mine and building a custom box on top of the case to hold the pump and rad. Still waiting on a couple parts and 6600GTs to hit the street, before I add the water cooling. -Tom

Looks great! I'm working on an Aria mod myself. I'll post some pic's when it's done. -Tom

The cpu fan starts out at 2500 and tops out a 4000. Looks like a mobo or fan problem. -Tom

Hi, I've got a 3.2 775. according to bios it idles at 40c and hits 61c when stressed. I'm using a foxconn mini atx with the Intel stock cooler. I'll check the fan speed tonight when I get home from work. I know it kicks up to jet engine DB's when the cpu is stressed. -Tom edit to add...

Some 775 motherboards use DDR but most of the high end ones use DDR2. PCIe video cards are hard to come by right now, but that might change with the 6600GT. -Tom
