the fan does not look big enough tbh lol
downloading latest drivers now
DX11 here we come...
well at fan speeds below 40% its just the same as my GTX 280 in the system.
just ran heaven benchmark and it does get noisy, noisier than my GTX by about 25% i'd say, using same fan profile as my GTX 280 in afterburner.
but how it drops the clocks in 2D mode! 608 core to 50mhz! that's some power saving right there.
verdict, noisier, can't wait to get this sucker under water.
@ reflux, the handling was immense, went straight into the PCI-E slot without incident

Ok some overclocking
700mhz stable on stock volts (960mv)
Kombustor UNstable at 750mhz, so bumped core volts to 1.0v to get it stable
Vantage stable too
On performance mode overall score 20, 625
GPU score 17,306
Gonna run heaven then edge toward 800mhz, wish me luck!

Raven has an illness known as "PJS" or "purchase justification syndrome", he rabidly fawns over which ever graphics card he currently has in his main PC.
There is no known cure.
Like to show an interest when someone takes the time to take pics of their new hardware and post them, it's only common courtesy.

750 is great for 24/7 usage IMO but 800 is certainly achievable, keep and eye on temps and use a fan profile.
@ kylew
Not so long back from your suspension for derogatory comments about other members, does one not learn from past mistakes?
