8800 noise levels

[nikebee]

just wondering if anyone would care to comment on the noise levels of the new 8800 cards that have come out.

i may pick one up after xmas, but if they sound like a jet engine then i'll wait until a decent cooler comes out for them

Im sure someone said they are quieter than the GX2.

Some reviews have said there quieter then even the 7900GTXs, but as usual sound is subjective.

yes it was me that said it was quieter than the gx2, infact usualy i can't hear it above my powersuply however that does sound like a jet engine all the time (tagan 900w)

If you are that bothered by the nooise get the watercooled BFG one
