Nvidia 6600GT (New Zealand) (1 Viewer)

[Brocklander]

Calling all Kiwis! I've had this Legend 6600GT AGP card for nearly a month, but it's too loud stock for my Shuttle case.

You should be able to find good passive or fan coolers for it from about $40, or use it in a non HTPC computer where noise isn't such an issue.

This is the cheapest full featured 6600GT card, and comes with the Component / S Video / Composite connection as well as some software.

Cheapest price new is about $230 shipped from C1 Computer (where I got the card from origionally), it retails for $360. I can do it for $215, but I'm sure we can work on this. Pickup from Napier or Wellington city, or we'll sort out postage.

I have a Club 3D 6600 GT PCI-E with passive cooling and it works greate Even beather than the cooler it came with

This is the cooler I used -> http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/chipset/cl-g0009schooner/cl-g0009.htm

Thanks for the advice, but there's no room in my small Shuttle case for any kind of heatpipe or aftermarket fan. Believe me, I've explored every option... The only one left is to get a new 6600GT from Leadtek, which is the quietest fanned one you can get. It's also nearly $300 NZ dollars

The card is gone, I'd delete the thread but I can't find the button!

If there are any bored moderators with an itchy trigger finger, send this thread in to the wide blue yonder.
