OMG!?

And how noisy is HE?

It's not really that noisy, and it really helps keep my temps down :) .

Well that's nice to hear.

80mm vs 120mm fan.

120mm = more airflow, less noise,...

Imnot worried of 4 fans.

Nah, 120mm fans can be more noisy than 80mm, it's just about which make and model you pick :welcome: But I get your point about the 4 fans :)

I am getting 120mm Coolermaster fan if you have any experience using this fan your post will be appreciated.

I am now using 4x Revoltec 120mm Dark Green fans and a big 250mm which came along with my case.

@ Bizarre: Nice to hear that the fan is cool. Can you tell us who made it?

Yeah... the 250mm one is really big, but silent.

Best of all is that you can change the way of airflow... in or out!

I saw a casing that has a very big fan attached in front of it (some kind of design, it's looking cool though :) ), but I forgot to inquire about its name :dance2: .

It has a switch that controls that! Not unscrewing the fan and turning it!

Read twice write once! P.S.: Thanks god for EDiT!

Still high temps...

One option is watercooling and the other is to not play games on that card :D

I think 85 is ok temp bcoz my frnd is having 4870 dual slot cooler still his operating temp during gaming is 85 also no question arises of playin no games bcoz i wouldn't have bought the card if i didn't want to play the games. ;) :D :sneaky:

85 degrees Celsius is still OK, but it's far from great...

I've got the 8600GT as well and mine hasn't reached 65 degrees Celsius yet.

Maybe you could try changing your fan that's 'sucking in air' to 'blowing out air'? That might help, I guess that fan is your back fan and you have one in the side panel or in the front?

Well you also got to take into account your natural climatic conditions here in India we have hot weather also i have 2 fans on the side panel a 120mm coolermaster fan and a 80mm fan also i have one 80mm fan mounted on the card also i have 2 80mm fans on the back of my case.

Yeah, I understand, but if you could make your back fans blow air out instead of sucking air in that would be better I think... The side fans should suck air in as far as I know.

I have 2 back fans both should suck in air?

Rear fans must be OUT! Not in...

You take the words right out of my mouth, without the capital 'out' though :D :P

Front should take in, side should take in, rear should blow out :D
