I'm hoping its worth the 200 I spent on it.
    It might not be, there are three of the BFG 8600 GTS versions floating around.

    From BFG site:
    8600 GTS OC2 256MB PCIe with ThermoIntelligence
    8600 GTS OC 256MB PCIe with ThermoIntelligence
    8600 GTS OC 256MB PCIe

    The card without the ThermoIntelligence setup has the fan in a different location.

    I picked up the non-ThermoIntelligence GTS from bestbuy today for $200 and am still testing its noise output (its normally quiet in my room).
