I personally like Nvidia's reference cooler. Seems to be pretty effective and quieter than most 3rd party (and at least makes some attempt to exhaust air out of the case).
$20 off SC2 if you don't already have it as well.
Oh, Steam.. Well, it's just those that are already covered by others. Technical reasons (occasional lock-ups and corrupted/disturbed installers, etc.), financial reasons (I sell my finished games, usually bundled with a video card), and privacy reasons. Yeah I know, it's like worrying about running into the least expected person in Times Square but then again that has happened to me more than once. It's just a principle that I do not want to compromise if I can. I block via firewall or run all (most) the home-phoning applications in generic VMs. My main system can do all my work without the Internet connection. Once GPU virtualization becomes practical I might consider Steam.In case lopri forgot...
Anyone?Back on topic, I found out my local MicroCenter has two vendors' GTX 460 1GB on sale: Sparkle and Palit. Sparkle has the reference cooler and Palit has a custom cooler with bigger fan. Both below $210. They had a 2GB version for $240 as well. Is there any review on Palit's custom HSF?
Don't get the MSI, its cheap PCB, Get the gigabyte one, end of story.. have fun, gl
Anyone?
It's this cooler that I'm curious about.
