It's OC to 660Mhz LINK

I didn't like how the old stocklooking MSI 8800GT seems to get really really hot, anyone know if this new one has better cooling results? It seems it would since its got a huge heatpipe cooling now.


Thanks

Yes the flat stock cooling is horrible and loud. This would be much better!

That price is actually pretty decent.

I've got that card. It idles in the upper 40's and lower/mid 60's for full load (house is cool right now so it may be hotter later). I cannot hear the GPU fan over the power supply fan (which is very quiet as it is but not dead silent). It's both cool and quiet and has been a "Hot Deal" (some days better than others) at Newegg and Chiefvalue (currently off site at CV) for quite some time now. :)

By the way, it uses a Zalman VF1050 cooler.
