wow thats kind of insane
maybe prices will come down after awhile.
I guess we're all used to the cheap ass prices of the ATI arctic silencers.

I just got a 6800 ultra and I hope I dont need this. last thing I want to do is to dissasemble a brand new expensive ass video card right when I get it.

Hopefully leadteks modified heatsink is quiet enough to not make too much difference in the sound output of my current quiet setup.

I was waiting for this since my GT is so loud/hot, but that's a bit much. Guess I'll wait a few more months until the price comes down.

Does the fan connect with a typical 3 pin connector? If so, you could fanmate the mofo and see if a small undervolt drops the noise significantly without hurting temps much.
