Howdy!
OK, a simple question to all who own a 8800GTX:
How noisy is the fan?!
I hear it's very quiet, but I'm very very serious about my silence as the computer is going to be used for recording delicate vocal audio in a small room. Previously I've had passively cooled GPU's, but I'm VERY keen on the Water Cooled BFG 8800GTX because then I can use my main beast machine for gaming as well! But it's very expensive, much more than the already excessive normal 8800GTXs!
Does anybody have any experience putting one of these things in an acoustically lined case? Is it still audible then? Or does anyone know if it would get too hot? Does anyone have any db info on it? Are the water cooling options offered by BFG and Galaxy the only other options for cooling this beast very quietly/silently? Have I exceeded the number of questions allowed in one paragraph, and if the limit was 5 does that make that question some sort of paradox?
Thanks!
Josh
