wouldnt an exhaust on the side panel produce a vacuum over the heatsink (be it of the gpu or cpu)? and assuming that the hsf blows down onto the hs, a vacuum above it woulnt be a good idea.
Graphic Cards nV Silencer, what is it ?

what works pretty well is when you have a fan blowing in cool air from the front and a exhaust fan on the side panel taking the hot air out..
also you can have a fan blowing in coool air placed a little higher than the exhaust fan (all this on the side panel).. though this would help provide cool air to your cpu.. not so sure how much this would help the gpu.. i`ll try it out in a couple of days .. lets see..

the nV Silencer 6 is compatible with PCIe 6600GT only.. there is no mention of support for AGP 6600GT here - http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=62

that 60C is while playing games or on desktop? My XFX 6600GT (PCIe with stock HSF) goes upto 72~73C while gaming n benchmarks but 'idles' at 54~55C otherwise.

here are a couple of pics of my card
^This is a brand new piece i have got as a replacement for the one i had. With that one I cud OC upto 450MHz on the GPU n 385MHz on Memory.. the best scores on that card are 3017pts in 3D Mark 05 and 7095pts in 3D Mark 03

^^Yup there seem to be compatiblity probs since the agp 6600GT has a odd placement of the hsf and add to that there is the HSI chip.
@masky: Congrats on getting the card back. Looks sweet man !

calling on ppl using a nV/ATi Silencer, how much of a temp drop can one expect using a silencer? I am getting one for my 6600GT and any help in this regard (about the temp drop) will come in handy..
one faulty (shorted from inside) sata power connector blew up my PSU, mobo, HDD n graphics card..

saying just that is quite misleading
The ambient temp in that review is 20C.. but what matters is the nV Silencer 6 brings down the idle temp by 8C and full load temp by 11C!! thats really good.. If the full load temp drops by even 8C for me that wud be gr8..Rockyme2002 said:
kinda already purchased the nV6..

Bot a new PSU, replaced the HDD (was lucky and got a 160gig for a 120gig), repaired the mobo.. that was all 9 months back.. I sent the card back to US in december and didnt wanna go thru customs hassles and all so instead i waited for a friend to carry it for me.. hence the time delay.. when i was using the 9800 Pro, i was on a barton 2500+, A7N8X Dlx rig..
