Also disappointed with this card...

Reviewed By: not passively cooled on 3/13/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Newegg customer service was very gracious about my return request. They agreed to refund my $$$ (purchase price+shipping+rush handling fee) as well as to pay the return shipping. Only cost me time and gas to get to UPS.

Cons: I'm sure the card is fine, but this one has a very thin heatsink and a cheap fan despite the fact that it is advertised as a "Passive GeForce 8400 GS." Product is clearly not passively cooled. My experience with similar looking fans is that they last a few months, and then get noisy before they stop working all together. My other problem with this card is that the HS that it comes with it is very thin and light-weight in comparison to the HS that came on the PCI version of this card which I also purchased from Newegg; I am very happy with it. I just wanted the same thing in a PCI-E 16x interface but this isn't it :(

Other Thoughts: I uploaded a video showing the HSF on this card. You might not care that it looks very thin and I might be wrong about the durability/longevity of the fan. You can see it and make the call for yourself.

I hope Newegg can update the product pics/description of this item so future customers don't get disappointed when they open the box.

DOA

Reviewed By: Disappointed on 2/23/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Card was DOA, so I can't list any Pros

Cons: Card was DOA

Other Thoughts: The card here was listed as a fanless card, but I received a card with a fan. Card would not allow two machines to boot. Returned quickly and had to swallow the shipping charges.
