Fan Control Has Been Discontinued

XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT88PYDQ4

Pros: 8800GT is the best bang for the buck.

Cons: All of these XFX cards are now shipped with only 2 fan leads. The other ones are nipped inside the fan, meaning fan speed is stuck at 100%. If you enjoy the sound of a leaf blower, or hair drier than this is your card! Tech support at XFX is tremendously poor and their ticket system takes a week to get a response. They have finally confirmed to me that the no longer ship these cards with the ability to control the fan speed.

Overall Review: Other users in the same boat are livid. See bjorn3d dot com for some angry XFX buyers.

Pros: Shiny

Cons: If you love a fan stuck on high than this PSU is for you! Look through the reviews and note how many people have defective units. Supposedly they had everything under control a few months ago, but mine just arrived with the fan stuck on high. Documentation is also a bit of a joke. A tiny leaflet.

Overall Review: Short cables will not fit in a bottom mount PSU case.
