My bro has Zotac 8800GTS 512MB (g92) which is here in croatia 25% chepaer then other 8800GTS 512MB (g92) cards.
It has no whine, and as said before it is very quite in idle but also very loud in load...
Its really a nice card and only thing that I dislike is 1 year warranty...

every time when game has different resolution, frequency or 16/32bit colors then dekstop there will appear black screen.
But I dont have that problem with black screen. I can see another application or desktop but i cant control it for 2 seconds.

Here is why I dont need 8800GT: - Im not gamer (only game i play is dota(warcraft 3) but now in 1920x1200 so thats why i need new VGA) - my computer is 80% time in idle so power consumption is important (ati wins here) - I care for image quality and ATI wins here also - 3870 (DDR3) is 20-25% cheaper...

epox and fan speed
I bought new Epox EP-AT690G Pro.
My problem is that no matter is it set in BIOS for CPU fan to rotate at "full speed"/"by temperature"/"by duty cycles", the fan always rotates at full speed...
Also I tried changing settings in Thunder Probe but nothing happens...

I can tell you this from my experience...
WD AAKS is much quiter then samsung P120 but I think AAKS and samsung T133/T166 are almost same loudness (which you can also hear on sound recordings in reviews... almost the same)
