    Near silence for Nvidia 6 and 7 series users!

    If you're still using the stock fan then get this:

    http://www.gainward.com/html/downloa.../expertool.htm

    It make most fans almost silent in 2d so they don't piss you off when you're browsing. Can make a difference in 3d too as long as the card doesn't get too hot.

    Made my 6600gt inaudible from a loud whine and 6800gt less like a power station but still a bit audible. Seems to work on any brand of nvidia card.

    Looks good will have to keep an eye on temps but as long as they arent too high this should be fairly cool

    It just ramps them up if you leave it on auto control so there is nothing to worry about. Gpu cores are rated pretty highly anyway, 120c or so and thats just when the thermal throttling kicks in!

    How do I find out the temp of my card (XFX 6600GT)???

    Thanks
