How bad/loud is it?
its only bad if you play old/non demanding games
e.g. blockland hits like 300fps then you can hear it but not if you use headphones like i do and not tomention the fans for your entier comuter will drown it out and when you have the side pannal on it is much better
i just turn vsync on so it does not go above 80fps
othere then that really good once vsync is on so you done have high fps
i have heard that you can fix it bu taking the cooler off and putting superglue on the capasators to stop them viberating.
overclocks well looks good and you can mine bitcoins will it and or litecoins
