REading that its rather loud, was going to get one from the egg but now im kinda iffy about it. Would go into my gf's comp, but still
 
If its realy loud, i dont want to get it ;P one of my pc's ( have 3) has a noisy HS fan, but its not to bad. i just dont want a constant noise factor. Maybe i should just spring for a better card :(
 
The XFX version with the small heatsink is loud. The other models with the regular larger fan 8800GT-type heatsink are quiet.
 
Shes just using it to play some non hardcore games like tomb raider, Star wars ( not the online one)
 
my intel has a hsf that is about 28 :( so i guess this won't be any worse :p
 
I wouldn't risk it. My ownership experience with the XFX 8800GS ended in RMA. The EVGA is silent. Worth the extra $. link
 
Not 100% on the compatibility, but you could always put a Zalman VF900 on the 8800GS to lower the noise. Looks like they have the same mounting configuration...
