The product I'm referring to is the dual-slot 8600 GTS at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284 Reviews aren't very conclusive: http://www.itreviews.co.uk/hardware/h1216.htm says it's not very quiet. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2105&page=3 thinks...

If it's just the fan vibrating against the case, you could always try rubber fan screws?

How long does the stuff last if it's not applied? I've had two tubes from 2004 that I never finished using, and I'm wondering if they'll still be good.

e6700's at 340.90 on ZZF now!

It gets worse. I just checked my autocomplete history on this computer (this was the computer I bought the 8600 GTS on). I recall Googling the part # to make sure it was the right one. Sure enough, the part # in the autocomplete history on this computer is GV-NX86S256H ... not GV-NX86S256H-B...

If you can find it... it's sold out everywhere. I thought eWiz.com was carrying the silent version of the card on launch day, but I just got it today, and it's the regular fan-cooled version :mad:

The Gigabyte 8600 GTS I ordered from eWiz just came in. Unfortunately... it is *not* the Silent Pipe version! I got the regular version with a fan. Doh. Any suggestions on what to do? I've emailed them, and I'm currently waiting for a response. This is the page that was up when I bought it...

You need to use the 6-channel direct analog connection if you want positional sound in games and the like, since the Audigy can't encode 6-channel sound to DTS/DD. Since I've read that the digital coax/optical connection is better for movies and music (especially for movies, since the DTS/DD...

If I have an older sound card (Audigy 2), will I still be able to connect to the digital coax input on the z-5500 using the RCA adapter? And will it actually be surround sound?

I've seen a few past threads on this, but there doesn't seem to be anything definitive. I don't want to take the feet off the speakers, since I've read there's a nut inside that will fall off and make them impossible to re-attach. Is there a "standard" bracket that will attach to the...
