whatever you do dont get the xfx 8800gt, they clipped the fan control so the fans stuck on 100% so its super loud

I installed an aftermarket cooler so now its super quiet

if I was to do it over again I would probably get this one with the Akimbo cooler

cant really say for sure though because I never tested it, its overclocked and supposebly quiet though
