Btw managed to firmware overclock my Zotac 8800 GTS 512 mb to 740/2070/1800 as per the Asus TOP XXX specifications using NvFlash and NiBitor. Was a real pain to do it via Vista and some more using USB keyboard sad.gif. Managed to dig up a old PS2 keyboard to get my boot disk working. Temps topping up at 84 C stable under load (this is SpeedFan though Everest reported it at 78 C) which is around normal for this card considering Tweaktown's 79 C for the Asus TOP XXX. It idles at 65 C. I tried adding additional ventilation to my casing on to a PCI slot but although I felt the hot air coming out, the temps remained the same. Couldn't stand the damn whine of it so I ditched it.

Anyone can recommend a good 8 cm fan with decent air flow and yet quiet? I currently have my casing's inbuilt two 120 mm ones (one front and one back) and piss ass weak 80 mm fan on the side panel. So no crazy 100 cfm 55 db cyclones please.

Sorry for the double post. didn't see this 'official' thread.

These are the 700mhz OC AMP version. It comes with full aluminum cooler, even the fan cover is aluminum for maximum heat dissipation. Not like the stock which comes with plastic fan cover. The fans are also different n even comes with LED.  brows.gif

Best thing is this- Right now, only Zotac is using Samsung 1ns chips which have been tested to be much better than the Qimondas on other brands.

Havent even installed it n I'm slapping on my favorite thermal paste- Arctic Cooling MX2. I'll keep the other card on stock paste n do a comparison of temps once I get them installed into my rig.
