Great card - great deal

EVGA GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N515-AX
EVGA GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N515-AX

Pros: Great card gaming and more. Runs all the major games on high setting with AA and FSAA - FEAR, FarCry, Half Life, etc. I put the more expensive eVGA 7800 GTX in also to test and the difference for my gaming is negligable. So for $250 less I have an excellent value in all respects.

Cons: None at all

Overall Review: For those whiners commenting here, the card is not the problem. Would you board your Kentucky Derby thorobred with a bunch of donkeys? You need a decent system to start with and adequate power supply - 450 watt.

Vantec Tornado 92mm Double Ball Bearing High Air Flow Case Fan - Model TD9238H

Pros: i replaced the standard fans in two systems with these, both are using fan controllers. they kick **tt. everthing in these cases cooled from the high 40's to mid 50's clear down to 37-38c. cool your case: cpu, hard drives, all happy now.

Cons: if the noise troubles you, use a fan controller and adjust as necessary. the noise is like white noise to me though.

Overall Review: who'd have thunk a measly fan would do all this? think of the extended new hold on life you be giving your system and components by keeping them chiller. save your water cooling thoughts for another day.

Best card in its class

Pros: Excellent, incredible card that does it all.

Cons: None

Overall Review: To last poster, this card will not work in a Dell Precision system with it's 375 watt PSU. You can skate by with the GT models.

Nice card, but

Pros: This is a very nice 7800 gtx card. However, for me, it overclocked poorly with just small 12-19 mhz on the core and appropriate on the memory I got pretty serious artifacting in 3dmark5. Performs flawlessly with stock clocks.

Cons: The overclocking issue.

Overall Review: I suggest the eVGA 7800 GTX (eVGA 256-P2-N529-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB) as a screaming, great, faster card out of the box, excellent overclocker too if you want.

Great deal

Pros: Great fans and price. I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of just one of these in my case and temps all around dropped 5-7 degrees celsius - case and the cpu's. I don't notice any additional noise but I do have alot of stuff in this system :)

Cons: None

Overall Review: With the volume discount get several. They are useful everywhere and make good spares to have handy. Thanks Newegg!

Nice addition

Pros: If you have an available PCI slot this is a nice fan to have. It reduced case temps by 5 degrees celcius and my processor cooled about 3-4 celsius. Mounted under the graphics card, with my GeForce 7800 GTX 512, reduced the temps by about 3 degrees c. With an ATI X1900XTX, made a huge colling difference for this card of 8-10 degrees.

Cons: It is a bit loud on full blast, but moves alot of air. I have 5 other fans in my case and it (slight noise) is not a bother.

Overall Review: NewEgg rocks with service! If you have the spare slot and need some extra easy and economical cooling, this is a nice solution.
