Was it the 8800gts 640 mb version thats factory overclocked... I have that one... runs quite cool, maby its your case...

actualy... just played with crysis...(like to blow up things in that game.lol)

I got board and cranked up the resoultion to 16xx x 1xxx... amasingly it ran it with alittle lag... with a new custom config im useing, and some settings on veary high... card got only up to 62 degrees when I exited.

nope, mine was a 512mb 8800GT not a GTS, mine was only single slot, yours runs so cool because it has a 2 slot design (the heat sink and fan take up another slot in the case which also doubles as an exhaust port to vent hot air out of the case) where as the single slot one not only has a smaller heat sink but just vents the air down into the case.
Here is what mine looks like

Thats why... Glad I got the 8800 I did. (wish I hat the GTX or ultra though.)

Guys the 9800GTX arrived today and I see a clear difference from my old 8800. I can run ARMA maxed out with complete wide screen. I'm impressed. All your help pays off tomorrow when I really try this puppy out.

thanks buddies
