Wow, there are companies that can make money selling giant fans and heatsinks for graphics cards these days. I went ahead and got this because the fan that came with this EVGA 8500GT was so dang loud. This fan is *much* quieter, except I had to sacrifice a PCIe slot.

Indeed... another product with superfluous LEDs. Ended up trading up to a 7600GT anyways... blah blah blah blah
