Most Favorable Review

Runs very hot...

EVGA 640-P2-N828-A3 GeForce 8800GTS KO Edition 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: This card runs great when it's first turned on. Crysis runs great, along with Gears of War.

Cons: Won't drop below 63C, even with the fan at full boar! I left the fan control up to nTune and eventually my games wouldn't even start, card was too hot. System lockup with hard reboot. Once I told nTune to run the fan at 100% games became playable again. Still...it shouldn't be this way especially with no OC'ing.

Overall Review: Good card, but too hot unless it's somewhat noisy fan is going 100%. I have it in a Cooler Master case with several fans moving lots of air.
