Abit OTES Ti4200

How loud is it?? Am thinking of buying one soon.
It's down to $125 at Newegg which is pretty good considering it's already clocked at Ti4400 speeds. In most of the benchies I've seen the 64MB Ti4200's are faster than the 128MB versions. I only use 2 PCI slots - sound card and NIC, so losing one isn't a big deal for me.

i found a review that actually had mp3s of the OTES and a ti500 i think. it was much louder, but with the case fans i have i wouldn't hear it at all. and when i'm on the comp i'm either playing mp3s or CS, so i wouldn't care.

the OTES is one of the worse overclockers according to toms i think. while it comes OCed already, it cant reach as high speeds as some of the other 4200s.

Which Ti4200's are the good OC'ers??

the best 4200 is the albatron ti4200 turbo. i hit 301/702 and it would run 3dmark 2001 one time. at 301/675 it ran games completely stable.

here is a link to the video card at newegg for 190$

If were going to spend that much I'd get a 9500 pro instead.
I'd rather spend <$130, although the MSI Ti4200-TD8X64 (8894-080) is work the extra $$$ at $147 with all the games it includes.

If you can wait for 1-2 months the R350 is likely to roll out...then the 9500 cards will get dirt cheap. That's my plan. Wait for the R350 and get a 9700 non-pro as they should be way less than $200 at that point.

CPU Magazine (Feb. '03) reviewed the OTES and OC'ed theirs to a stable 310. They didn't say anything about OC'ing the memory on it, so I can't comment about that. But 310 beats 301.
