question about the 7600gs, and overheating.

[boltizor]

sup guys, i wanna ask something about the 7600gs (pci-e)

Ok, i read some stories about different versions of the 7600gs overheating a bit, getting a bit too hot.

Now, if i never overclock anything in my pc (i am not in to overclocking) or never use SLI, would i have to worry about overheating?

I'l be playing games like oblivion, world of warcraft, etc, if it helps, my new case seems to be well ventilated, and ill be putting a 120mm fan in it, plus the fans and "grills" it already has, theres a big grill type thing in the front of the case, for airflow.

so would i worry about overheating?

also, what do you guys say is the best version of it? i can get pretty much any of them, gigabyte, msi, bfg, evga, etc.

(this is the card i am getting, please dont reccomend another one)

thanks

evga is nice...

I wouldn't worry about overheating...but you could always get a Zalman cooler for the video card...

Um, is it gigabyte that has that crazy 7600gs (its almost a 7600gt...)...i dunno

yeah it looks cool from the pics i saw, gets alot of good reviews, i was just gonna get the MSI
model, but not sure yet, the 7600gs is the only card i can get right now, its just the matter of what company.
