Got my new 6800gs

Actually I got the new 6800gs last week sometime. I also got my Arctic Cooling NV Silencer for the card on the same day. First I put in the card without the NV Silencer just to see how it worked. Seemed ok. No artifacting. Temps got up to about 76c after an hour of playing F.E.A.R. Combat. Koo koo...definitely much better than the other card which had no working fan at all.
I'm also in the process of building a PCI-e based system. So I put my card up for sale on some forums and on craigslist. No bites. So I decided to go ahead and throw on the NV Silencer just to see how big a diff it could make. WOW what a diff it made! Load temps after an hour of FEAR went from 76c to 58c! No joke! I played some Quake 4, some Call of Duty 2, NFS:MW and some Flatout 2. Temps never got higher than 59c. Fantastic for air cooling on this card. I mean yeah it's only a 6800gs AGP card, but the damn thing runs pretty hot normally.
So I'm temporarily happy again with my AGP based system ;)
