I bought the MSI for $199. It's sweet. It never gets above 55 under load. Idles around 40. The tech report compared 8800s to 9600s. http://techreport.com/articles.x/14168

The 180 and 182 are just flat out cool looking but I also like this cooler master for a lot cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119074

Get this MSI for $200 and you will have enough money left over to buy Crysis you cheapy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814127329

I'm stuck with an ASUS M2N Sli-Deluxe w/ Nvidia 570 chipset and a 500 W power supply.

I got mine Friday. In my comp it runs 39-41c idle and about 54-55c after COD4. My 7950GT ran 47c idle and about 60c under load.

For future reference, the forum IP is: 208.65.201.106. Glad it helped.

I had to reinstall nTune but it's not showing up in nvidia's control panel now. I uninstalled it fist, rebooted, then reinstalled. There were no errors reported or anything. When I open control panel it's not there. Vista 32 bit Home. Any ideas? Google didn't turn up anything.

I have a Samsung 19". I must say it's the best LCD I have ever had or seen. You can't go wrong with Samsung, IMO.

I just got the MSI with the copper cooling. Right now straight out of the box it idles at 41 c. How is that? For $200 I can't complain. Nice card.

The MSI in back in stock at Newegg and is now $219, $199 with $20 rebate! See original post for link to card.

I wrote a message about it in this forum. There is a solution I found on the Kaspersky forums. It works. To all those who are having issues with loading specific websites and where unticking port80 helps with loading it, try to add it to TrustedZone...click...

I was having a lot of problems loading these forums. There's a thread about it here. The culprit is Kaspersky Anti Virus. There's a solution. Thankfully there's a solution: HERE

The MSI I linked to does not have a stock cooler setup. According to this review it's a Zalman VF1000 cooler.

Yeah, the gigabyte was actually my first choice but for about $50 less I think the MSI is a decent alternative.

Well, I think I've narrowed down my choice of 8800GT to this one from Newegg. It is slightly overclocked and with the rebate it's just too good to pass up. I just wonder about that weird copper pipe cooler. Not sure if it's all show and no go or what. No big deal if it doesn't work too well. I...
