Great for the price, had owned this for 6 months now and plays all I have thrown in it so far (left4dead, tomb raider underworld, far cry 2, fear, call duty 4 and 5, stalker shadows chernobyl and clear sky, crysis and crysis warhead, fallout 3, etc.) not looking for max settings but for game playability with reasonable resolutions, enough to enjoy each game. Not noisy, must have got the newer fan version. Had to improve air circulation (added side and front fans on CPU case and direct cooling fans on adjacent PCI slot). Very happy with board ... next upgrade will be some 9XXX series from XFX, preferently XXX mode (factory overclocked).

I love the fact that someone can sell a sub par card to someone else knowing that there are problems with it in SLI, it flickers in a ton of games depending on the drivers that you use drivers will work for one game and not another and vise versa and for the load fans they sill run hot i shulod haved saved my money and get 8800gtx ultra i suggest you do the same.

think this might help some people out there who might still be having trouble with the loud fan. If you take a close look at the number of blades your fan has, if it has many (ie, 15) rectangle shaped blades rather than 10 larger curved fan blades, you most likely have gotten an earlier revision of the card and thus louder since the many bladed fan uses the old 7600gt fan
