This gives an idle of approx 40 Deg C and a temp under load of around 70 Deg.C . Currently there is no specific 8800GT cooler although I believe a couple of companies will be releasing one soon. After trawling some forums this cooler appears to work well. http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/VGAnCHIPnMEM/CL-G0102/cl-g0102.asp After some tweaking with my provided software I have set a fixed speed of 65%.

That sounds much but is very stable and seems not to pose a problem. My card is overclocked by default btw. Let me know how your custom cooler works out! Mine has an idle temp of about 62°.

My 8800GT seems to behave in a similar way but my fan is at 60% (idle temp 48 deg c) Fortunately mine came with some software which allows me to manually set the fan speed as default. At 100% temp drops to 40 deg c which is still a bit high (and noisy ! ). Am currently checking out alternative VGA coolers as the stock one is pretty crap. Interesting about the card Jarod.
