How loud are these? SPRC ever have an article when they measured them? I've got an S1 I could install but not sure if it would be worth it to use over stock cooler.

Its alot of annoying work to install an S1 in my case and redo airflow as the video card he would then be dumped in the case... want to try to figure out if it would even be worth it before I go through all the hassle.

I can safely say the EVGA 8800 GTS 512's stock two-slot cooler is definitely quiet (or even silent) enough for most users. Indistinguishable from S-Flex 1200s @660 RPM at idle, same sort of smooth sound under load.

Definitely recommend trying out the stock cooling with these cards before looking for aftermarket solutions.
