Since I upgraded to the 7900 GT OC, I have my 6600 GT OC for sale.

Make me an offer.

[bLaK]

lol....$100 sounds reasonable..wat brand is it?

[Jason]

Guys,
I am so sorry I haven't responded sooner. I have been away from home on business travel and have neglected the forums some.

Ok, and I've spent some of my time playing WoW as well...

Anyway, the brand is BFG as stated in the title of the thread.

Never overclocked (beyond BFG "OC" overclocking at least), operated in an ASUS A8N SLI-Deluxe motherboard for a little over a year. Originally ordered in the middle of 2/05 with the system finally set up at the end of February / early March.

Any other questions? I promise I'll check more often. LOL

I'll also post pictures soon.

hmmm card luks gud...dat fan luks pretty impressive..does it do a gud job or is it jst for show

[Jason]

You know, I'm not totally certain about the functionality of the fan. I haven't done any personal quantitative or qualitative testing of the fan but my personal experience with BFG has been nothing but great.

I guess my line of thinking is that if BFG put it on a card, it was put on there for a reason.

I wasn't able to get to the picture of mine today but yeah, it looks like it does in the archive here.

I will try to get it up by tomorrow. Let me know what your thoughts are.

From wat ive read dat fan is pretty quite....but overclocked it mite act up a bit

[Jason]

I've never heard the fan operate - even with the case open and poking around with the computer on.

It's pretty quiet, yes.

[Jason]

So are you still interested or did you end up going another route because of my unresponsiveness?

Yeh im thinking about it since i wrecked my mobo..ill have to cut back on my GPU

[Jason]

I got lucky with my motherboard actually. It could have been disastrous but I caught it in time.

I have the ASUS A8N SLI-Deluxe. If you are at all familiar with them, they have a history of failing northbridge fans. Well, I didn't know about this until it happened to me and even then, I didn't know what it was at first nor did I know about the MTBF of those fans.

Luckily i found it and replaced it with a Zalman fanless heatsink but if I hadn't caught it in time, it could have been game over for my mobo as well.

Good luck with that - motherboard replacement on an existing machine is such a headache. My suggestion is scrap the OS and just start over. At least all your data is still available.

My A8N-E NB fan died as well, but Asus overnighted me a new one. It's dead silent too.
