GeForce 6600 Power Consumption

[jbreits]

Anyone know where I can find the power consumption of a GeForce 6600 (not GT not SLI's) PCI Express card?

Particularly interested in the +12V current it is pulling.

Thanks,

Even a 6800GT is only like 3A so it isn't much.

I recommend you look for a good shrink

So you think a 6600 PCI Express will draw less than 3Amps on the +12V rail?
Is that at idle, normal, or high usage?

That doesn't sound like very much power. Does it draw a lot from the other rails?

Thanks,
JBreits
