I did some searching and could not find detailed info on this card.
From the pictures, it looks like it uses a cooler from Artic Cooling, similar to one of the NV silencers. But there's no NV silencer that fits a 7600GT on their website, so it's hard to know if that's really the case.
I just would like some comments from users here on how quiet this card is out of the box. Is it possible to lower voltage on the fan to get it to run quieter?
Since it's the cheapest HDCP enabled card in the market right now, it's in the top of my list to upgrade my HTPC.
Thanks!
MSI 7600GT HDCP card. How quiet is the stock cooler?

I own the non/pre-HPCP chipped version of this card (:?). Do a sub-forum search here for my posts.
In a nutshell: not too bad once nvidia proprietary drivers installed, but I ended up going for the Zalman VF900 as I like my machine to be as quiet as I can affordably make it.
It's a solid card, I'd say go for it. And still a solid choice if you can't afford the VF900.

As for AC NV Silencers that fit 7600GT cards, the above thread shows a good example. I might go for one for an XFX card myself.
