My new project

It would be the exact same card added. Its nice to see that the bridge piece is included with card.Is there much difference between the fanless cards and those with built in fans?
cheers

Fanless cards obviously produce a lot more heat inside the case, so this is something you need to be very wary of, make sure the case is well aired and that you keep check on the GPU / CPU / Mobo / HDD temperatures.

My apoligies Quantum. In the light of day I noticed within that huge heatsink on the card "A fan" Nvidia run their fans at default speed 29-33% to keep things as quiet as possible. You can change this using direct fan control in nvidia tune. Did a couple of stress tests with gpu fan set at 52% ,no problems, temp went to 44deg.. Only problem I have found that it does not allow me to load my saved profiles in nvidia folder. There is a program in setup called A1 overclocking which is good up to 15% OC but will not accept the 20%. 15% gives me 2.682ghz on cpu. I will disable in setup and use OC in nvidia tune saving profiles to see if this works any better.
Have nvidia "probe" on screen which shows voltages,fan speeds and temps. seems accurate.
cheers
Quantum:
GPUs can get to a lot higher temps in the short term than CPUs.
I wouldn't be too worried if a GPU peaked at 85 C for a bit. The GPU itself will be fine, it's stuff like the GPU's memory exposed to long term heat that suggers.
texasboy:
Seems like 2.765ghz on CPU is close to max using nvidea tune . Upped the graphic card a little and benchmark up with the e8440 core 2 duo boys.

But just look at the proffessionals with the quads.lol
Temps 42 deg max during test gpu temps 45max. Got a great airflow through case. Have room to add an 80mm fan on side to blow directly on freezer 7 pro heatsink. Will get another card this week and run the Sli .Quantum you have been a big help through my learning curves. TKS.
cheers
ps. did you notice that they are mostly on Vista ::)
