MSI GeForce GTX 680 Twin Frozr III Graphics Card Pictured

Ok thanks, that looks better.

I think 90mm or even 100mm would be ideal, also less noise.


lol I wish my 570gtx had 90mm :)

I know what you mean. I have two FrozrII GTX560ti/OCs 80mm and they're pretty loud. I use the software fan control in afterburner and it helps a lot. The temps only go up about 2-3C at 75% vs. 100%. About 71C instead of 68C. With the hysteresis set at 2C they don't fluctuate constantly... When I'm not playing a game they spool down to 45% and I can't hear them at all. Pretty cool feature...
 
Hm mine never goes above 65% even on auto (temps ~62-68C @ 900mhz), its keeping it cool but yeah it can get a bit noisy after 55%. :)

I happened to check the website at the right time and picked up two of these today, but had to pay $84.94 each for three day delivery! That was the cheapest option offered. That's $169.88 to deliver two cards! Want 2 day service? That's $187.58 EACH! How about overnight? Well, sir, bend over cause that will be $200.88 EACH! What a crock! You wait forever for the cards to come out, then get mugged in the checkout line. I guess I sholud be happy I managed to get them, but this is highway robbery. I'll not buy anything else there....

So; I wrote a scathing review on Newegg about the outrageous shipping fees. They censor what you write (of course) and the person doing the censoring noticed that something was wrong. Afterward, I received an email indicating they were refunding $165 in shipping fees as it was a mistake. The CSR I called right after making the purchase sure didn't understand or investigate. Told me "I'll be happy to cancell your order if you don't like it" & "this is how it is...take it or leave it..." Anyway, I'm just glad the person doing the censoring took the time to investigate. If not, I would never have challenged it further. What a pain...but I am glad I got my money back :ohwell:
