A testament as to just how cool the 8600GTS runs.
Sucker went fanless with the stock cooler and idled at 60*C. I had just done some cable management and my IDE cable stopped the fan from turning, I almost had a shit fit until I saw that the temps were only 60*C. Great cooler on the MSI OC edition

...and it's a testament as to 1 of the reasons why wire management is important.
 How long did the video card run fanless? Last edited by Ravenas; Sep 3, 2007 at 08:05 PM. |

After playing Quake4 for 30mins it finally hit the 110c threshold and gave me a warning saying it was overheating, i nearly bricked it  Wrenched open the case prodded the heat pipes, nearly burnt my finger lol  Still works fine to this day, 8 months later

I have the exact same card! The highest I've seen mine get is 67C and my case has horrible airflow.
