Sorely tempted to get one of these, so amazing for the price HOWEVER I hate loud rigs and was wondering just how bad it is sand if there was anything I could do about it? (Aftermarket cooler?) Also does anyone know when the offer ends?

If it came with sand i'd rma it personally.

Is what you'd be looking at.

I ordered one myself, haven't got it up and running yet, so can't quite tell you about the noise, but yeah you could fit an aftermarket cooler to try and bring the sound levels down. Also from what I've read at like 60/70% use it's absolutely fine for noise....

I've also got a GTX 480. Noise never bothered me... loud speakers/headphones does the trick

Thermalright Shaman when they are back in for me

Review looks good.

I have one and the noise is nothing like people say.. its very bareable

Sounds good, it did seem a little over the top how bad some people made it out to be. Blame my phone for any typos

cheers!

It's not too loud tbh but more noticible the the GTX285 it replaced. I also game with headphones so don't even hear it when I'm playing.

Mine is not loud in the slightest, it is extremely quiet compared to my jet engine that is my PS3
