Plus if you look at the minimum specs I posted earlier in the thread you need 400watts of energy goodness.

maybe but the PSU's in shuttles tend to be very good

 

[Yaka]

yeah shuttle psus tend to be very good. i just dont feel its the right time for me to either build a new pc or switch to a better speced shuttle. anything that will last me till et:qw comes out is bonus really

Hey sunlitsix, you`ve turned blue

Guys, I seem to have a problem with my Card.

In expertool no matter what I change fan speed to it's constantley running at 100%. Even if I exist expertool and look in PCWIZARD 2006, it's at 100%. I've tried using fixed and dynamic, but it will always stay at Dynamic 100%.

What do I do?

Tried uninstall-reinstall hasn't fixed the problem

 

[Steedie]

Could be a dodgy fan controller on it?

 

[Nobski]

Maybe your high clocks (450/1400MHz ) are forcing it to 100% ?

Maybe try lower clocks just to see if the fan will run lower.
Or is your case a bit toasty in there ?

 

[Vita]

Nah sides, open. Clocks are at default. Not sure.

have you ran '03 with it?

 

[wildweb_uk]

Anyone found that it's not as quiet as originally thought?

This new card was totally silent for the first few days, now I can hear a small high-pitched sound after being on for a few hours. Kind of annoying, but livabel-with, as the performance has been good.
Anyone else hear -even a small amount- of noise from it? (It is meant to be *SILENT*..)!?

[sunlitsix]

you sure it is coming from that?
could be the chipset fan, unless it is passively cooled

 

[Vita]

I here it, whenever I click things. It's liveable. Ain't ran 03 will do when I get time.

 

[Lanz]

Sounds like capacitors squeeking, my motherboard does the same thing with I plug a USB in, very annoying and you cant fix it as far as i know.

I got this when i last purchased a nvidia card, it was due to the sound card interfering with the nvidia card. The fix was using a different sound card.
