Homeappraiser, I saw a few of the PCI exhaust fans at CC. I was thinking about getting one, I asked the sakes rep about them and I don't think he really knew much about them. He said I would be fine with a a regular case fan.
I think at a minimum you should get an exhuast fan for the case.
My 7600gt idles around 53, which isnt too hot. Ill attach a zalman cooler onto it later when I want to overclock it.
Look to see what your temps are to guage how much cooling you actually need.
We got the EVGA 7600GS because it was there and cheap after rebates. The 7600GS does not have a fan. I installed an 80mm silent case fan, but I think it is too slow and too far above the video card to help much. I want to have a fan blowing across the GPU heat sink fins or one of those rear exhaust types. The next time I will be in the big city to look of one is the weekend of the August 25-27th.
My 7600GS idles between 55C & 58C and has only gotten up to 68C after my son has been on City of Heroes all nite.
Saku have you added any RAM to your Acer yet?
