8600GT if u've got a pciex16 slot. avoid XFX , get from evga or MSI or any other reputed brand.

@metalheadgautham , dude , why are u recommending 3650 when we decided that 8600 is better than 3650 ? any new reviews which claims the contrary ?

@dheeraj_kumar , my first xfx 8600GT was a udf7 model which heated upto 105C ( theres another member in this forum who has the same model ) . . .got replacement UAL3 model .a lot better but still load temp maxes out at 82C without OC.. .and idle temp is 60C. .

this problem seems to be restricted to XFX. .thats why i recommended other brands . even xfx 8800GT also has a few complaints . .my next card will certainly not be from XFX unless XFX does some magic with the cooling solutions they are offering..
