I like the look of this, but the GPU block doesn't support the 8800 series as yet.

Is there another block i can use ?

I won't be overclocking much if at all, i just want a silent PC.

don't think this is powerful enough to cool a 8800 card + plus a cpu.
I think the max it can run is the 7900 series + your cpu without upping the heat to much. this unit for quiet pc not super power cooling

Well thats pants.

Just how loud is the standard cooler on a 8800 GTS anyway ?

Leafblower or just mildly annoying ?

If its anything like the GTX fan then its supremely quiet.

not *quite* as quiet as nvidia got the 7900GTX and GTO cards but certainly not the loudest component in a machine made up of ultra quiet 120mm fans and a tuniq tower with the fan on lowest

[EDIT] i would guess under normal usage around the high teensdB range? Under load, its difficult to say but I dont think they ever tend to spin up to anything like maximum

I really rate this kit, slightly biased but nevermind. Does the job of cooling my CPU but I don't run the card in the loop as the cooler on the 8800 series is quite decent.

I have x8 fans in my PC plus the PSU fans and it's lovely and quiet still.
