I own a GTX 280 in a Phenom Quad 9950 BE since 4 days and the card needs about 27,500 to 28,350 seconds (estimated time 7:45h) for one WU. The fan is loud, definitive the loudest fan on a card I ever had, but I can live with it ;). Here you can see the work of the card in the last days. | |

Kokomiko, if the card is too loud for you see my thread. I guess the S1 Rev 2 also fits the GTX 260/280. | |

Sure, the fan choice is totally up to you and there are better ones than the Arctics. | |

Ok, I will check it. Nah, no reason to check anything. The point is just that the coolers are almost the same, but not quite. To mount the powerful S1 you'd have to remove the stock cooler anyway. And if the Arctic fits or not depends on the mounting holes of the card (and its height profile). If it's compatible than Arctic Cooling should tell us soon or could be asked.

Hi all, Thank you all for your answers / comments! 10k rac/day sounds very good to me but I'm very frightened about the produced noise by a stock GTX 280 card. At the moment I'm running a (non overclocked) Q6600 together with 2*PS3 24h/day in my livingroom, due to a very silent running Zalman fan (lowest speed) on the Q6600 I don't have any noise concerns so far. As I don't want to tweak too much at this moment I'll wait for the next generation of graphic cards for my PC, maybe I'll buy the 480 core GTX 400 when available ;-) ____________ | |

If you're bothered with noise than a stock 280GTX is not for you. I did not see one in action yet, but it consumes a bit more power than my card and uses almost the same fan, so it's reasonable to expect similar behaviour. Take a look here for details. maybe I'll buy the 480 core GTX 400 when available ;-) This one won't be for you either. What you need is either a card with something like an Accelero S1 pre-mounted, plus fan(s), or maybe this new Asus Matrix thing, which is not yet available. This should allow you to set the fan speed to a comfortable level and subsequently turn down clocks and voltage until you're comfortable with the temperature. You give up on speed, but you can't have speed and silence at the same time.. without a really massive cooling solution. MrS ____________ Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 | |
