Runs loud at 50c idle and 70c on load. I will need to buy an after market cooler for this...
I've bought this no name brand cooler for $7.51.
Cooler works just as well as stock, but doesn't produce noise!
However, cooler died in a few months... Screw brandless chinese crap!

Performed fairly well and is the better than the 8800GT 256mb. It runs a little hot at 50c to 70c,
but its not very noisy. But, it's a little pricy for someone like me, who doesn't use too many
high graphics applications.

This card is set up really great. Stock clocks is 680 mhz core 800 mhz memory.
Idle temps reading 41 celsius and 58 celsius on load. The Zalman fan that came
with the card is doing wonders for the temperature readings. I don't think
I'll need to overclock this bad boy. Fan produces the regular fan sounds --
this is expected for any decently powered fan.

It's an okay card. Stock clocks are 540 mhz core 700 mhz memory. Runs at about 43c idle
and 65 on load. Its not very good readings as you can see.
