To get the most out of the cards you need to run the fan at 100% and that's just too loud. Overclocking these cards makes a measurable difference (Especially 3DMark06). I intend to run both cards on water and as fast as possible. Not that it's needed but I want the best gaming rig possible. That should tell you something right there. First of all, I went and ordered a second card. Additionally, after re-reading my comments I felt clarification was necessary especially with all the mistakes.
