Ah, mines really noisy when you get gaming. which is why its watercooled now.
Im not sure what this is made of though. the fins are copper, and the base? it looks and feels like anodized aluminum heh.
So sen, where are those 7's? you'r supposed to mod the crap out of that card ;P

It's likely because the caps on it suck! Over at badcaps.net, there was a report of a PNY video card having bad caps.
More likely, GSC caps.
The caps that I saw on eVGAs don't suck. eVGA seems to use quality caps, but I would watch out for the fan.
The fan on my eVGA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB has a tendency to moan, click or rattle, but only sometimes and usually only when just starting it up.
It's more likely to do that when the temp is low. The fan seems to have an issue with low temps.

That card is probably a dog BECAUSE it is PNY. I've seen my share of crappy components and dodgy SMT soldering jobs, most of them on PNY products. I stay far away from PNY. A few higher end 6800's used Oscon caps, but the rest I had no clue. Probably OST.Sentential said:

Yea I think I'm gonna wind up taking both of them back due to my dissapointment in their ability to clock to an even average level. Havent decided if ill get the XFX 600/1650 or just pick up a BFG here locally.Super Nade said:
The caps on this card are solid, the previous one was using chineese/taiwaneese but this one I am using now is using Rubicon which is the best you can buy.

My eVGA 7900GS can be had for $139 after a $15 rebate and mine is kicking ***! After I had my eVGA 6600GT which lasted a good 2 years, I will always go eVGA. They now have lifetime warranty as long as you register and unlike PNY, it's "Lifetime warranty" does not mean 3 years, it means lifetime.
After autoclocking using Ati-tool, it ended up giving me 582MHz Core and 840MHz Memory.
This card came stock at 500/690 ! The stock stock stock 7900GS comes at 490/560 I believe.
So right now I have a 92MHz OC on the core and 290MHz OC on the memory
