I just installed mine and it's not bad at all. Loud is a relative term and I have no DB meter to actually show the noise difference in my Tsunami case. After reading the reviews I was prepared for the worse and purchased a Zalman VF900-CU to go with the card. At start-up the X1900XTX's fan runs 100% but quickly throttles back. To me the difference is minimal and I probably won't be installing the Zalman unit.....at least untill the warranty expires.Good deal, wonder how loud it is?

King Kong = Starforce copy protection. Just a FYI so you can make a decision on whether or not you want to install the malicious copy prot...er game.

This card only has a 1 year warranty. Actually I was thinkin' about swapping the HSs in about 30 days. It took me a while to get it installed and I wasn't looking forward to re-installing any time soon. BUT, it all becomes a moot point since somebody didn't make a note of the serial number to register the card.by the time the warranty expires in 3 years, the card's performance will be low-end by comparison and you'd probably buy a new card, if you haven't already done so. I would change out the HS in a few months once you know the card works without glitches.
