ASUS GeForce 6600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card EN6600GT/Silencer/HTD/256M/A
ASUS GeForce 6600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card EN6600GT/Silencer/HTD/256M/A

Pros: Silencer is great setup for silent, passive cooling. Should be great with 6 120mm fans.

Cons: Order confusion: I recieved a version with fan, minus exotic heatpipe cooler. in midst of RMA process to recieve Silencer (fanless) version as illustrated and described on site.

Overall Review: My history with Newegg is spotless. Only disappointment is that shipping back to Newegg cost 15.54, and they will only cover 10.00 return shipping on this RMA item. The exhorbitant return shipping is a UPS issue, to be exact. Christmas time shipping on this RMA is 15.54 for 8 day shipping!(MN to CA) Customer service folks seem to be very competent, willing to help.

PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510-SLI 510W Continuous @ 50°C ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready  Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Great quality. I've got a 300 watt PC Power and Cooling supply that is still going strong after 10 years. I expect the 510 will last as long. I like the black sleeving. Nice touch. Running Asus A8N32-SLI no problem.

Cons: Spendy, but worth it.

Overall Review: Happiness is never having to worry about PSU problems.

Pros: Looks great in windowed case with Zalman 9600. I'm getting great temps, 35c-38c with 4200 X2. The motherboard acting as a heatsink seems pretty effective. CPU and system temps are usually within 1c of each other. It's in a Lian-Li with 5 80mm fans, which probably helps. PC Power & Cooling 510 for PSU. All stable at stock speeds. Still waiting to install decent video setup.

Cons: Not the monster overclocker I thought it might be. The "Auto" overclock function only does 5% stable for me. Manual settings get me to 10-12% over stock. Just loaded Bios 1009, and need to fool around with it a bit.

Overall Review: Spendy bugger, and still not widely available. I love the black PCB with the copper heatpipe! Rock solid and great temps at stock speeds.
