A quick update-this is still in stock at Newegg at the same price ($4 shipping) and the rebate ends on 12/7. I got one and am pretty happy with it. My box is fairly noisy (I have cooler fans on both my hard drives, one intake fan, and three out fans-I'm a bit obsessive about reducing heat) and any additional noise added by this card was hardly noticeable.

the only noise coming from my pc is the fan from the video card. i already bought a zalman vf700cu to improve cooling as well as noise. the heatsink should arrive sometime next week.

Are you sure it was the AGP that was back in stock?

Unless it miraculously comes back in stock tomorrow this deal is as good as dead. Kudos to all that got in.

Well, I owned this exact same card a month ago. It was idling at 60C, which was unacceptable. I ended up returning it, and with some prodding Newegg waived the restocking fee. Maybe I'm a prude, but the max i would like the card to idle at is probably mid-40C.

Could be I got a lemon, though.

Most of the newer GPUs run at least that high. My 6800GT runs at 60-70 or so, sometimes gets up to 75 after heavy play. The core slowdown temp is set at 120, so I guess there is plenty of room. One set of drivers a while ago was also reporting the temps even higher than it should have, but I think they fixed that.

So, yes, you panicked in vain.

Thump - you have to use the "coolbits" registry tool to be able to see the card temperature in display properties (as well as other cool settings). Find "coolbits2" on the net, it should be a file with a few lines of registry settings. Run it, and you will then see more stuff under the display properties of your adapter.

coolbits has a registry edit for temp? I had to go through the trouble of force flashing my gf's card bios to enable the temp sensor....

then again its a 6600 nongt

I got mine from this deal last week. Coolbits overclocks to 585/1100 and the temps never seem to get out of hand, I think 68 was the high I saw. Luckily my basement is pretty cold since its been so damn cold here in the Gopher state. I used to have a GF6800Ultra, sold it and went back to my TI4200, and now back up to this one. This is a nice happy medium. For the price, it was insane deal.

 

[InlineFour]

for the people who bought the card, please post the card's idle temp. mine currently idles at around 45C with the zalman vga700 copper heatsink.

 

[Thump553]

Mine's stock and nonoverclocked, running at 51 degrees in a cool room. Actually, installing this card dropped my CPU and case temps because it forced me to clean up the dust.

Didn't get it yet but PNY sent an email stating they received my rebate submission.

 

[augustwest]

No rebate yet. They lost mine so I had to refax it. It's in their system now though.

 

[jonny13]

I haven't received an email. I suppose I better call them and see if they lost it.

Yeah, I haven't gotten an e-mail either. Anywhere online you can check to see if they got it?
