I later found out it was my E4300 that was overheating. 9600GT is a great card and it does run pretty cool. I had set up fan profiles and my temps never go above 59C.
My PNY 9600GT is overclocked: core:650 to 70mhz memory: 900 to 1000mhz and ran speed at 40% with case sidepannel fan and it runs at 44 degrees c idle and i think about 60c max. My opinion that is frikin good plus i got 1 on top of the other in sli so that will make it wormer.
the 9600 gso performed a few frames less on alot of benchmarks with this card. the 9600 gso is about 50 after rebate. but the memory is a bit slower and theres less except on the 700+ mb version which only has dd2 ram.
from whay i remember the 9600gt was around th performance of a 3870. Anyway i happen to think the gt was an exceptional card. It's now only about £10 more expensive than a 9600gt anyway, well ones with a name. History-intergrated, intergrated,7600gs (nice card to get me into pc gaming), 8600gts(now a spare, it was a decent lil card that deserved more credit), 8800gt(now in 2nd rig, great card) and now a 4870x2 in main (fucking animal).
This card is awesome, the only thing wrong is i have a 2.2gig dual core that has trouble keeping up with it when i crank up the graphics settings, Another thing that has pissed me off is i bought a 3D rocket cooler from gigabyte for my cpu so i could overclock it and i find that my motherboard dosnt support overclocking, mind u i do have quite an old 1 lol......anyway awesome card, best 1 ive had so far :D
What pisses me off are these underage fanboys who's parents buy them $300 8800's to shut them the fuck up. While we people who work our asses off for what we own just wanna have fun and run a nice game for a decent price am I right? So you 8800 fans take it elsewhere, we're sorry your ego's make you come into a 9600 GT video so you can tell us how great your card is compare to ours...Seriously? What the fuck?? Just have fun and get what you want and can afford.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Crappy review: lousy cam work (just place it somewhere), even worse shots, bad audio, amateur @ unpacking and holding the card (I'd laugh my ass of if it wouldn't do crap after placing it in ur pc). Annoying voice and what's the most important: the review itself is crap.. Another thing:
yeah but if u then overclock the 8800GT you beat the 9600. The only problem with the 9600 is that you can pick up a quicker 8800 for hardly anything more :\.
8800 GT has higher price, but its also faster. 9600GT slower but has lower price. 9600GT althorug has more modern technology. value/performance both are 10/10. i gonna have a 9600 GT (BFG or asus, maybe leadtek) in a few weeks. now ive got a GF4 440 MX. i think it will be a big performance jump :P
I'm just thinking, what the hell are you gonna do with a good looking cooling, if the cooler is with the pictures down? The only thing you're gonna see from that card, is the back of the card, aka the ugly part of the card!
I've got the Galaxy 9600GT 512mb factory overclocked. I paid $129 canadian for it. It's a great card, and runs at about 42C idle and 50C - 55C under load. I recommend it to anyone that doesn't have enough for an 8800GT, or a G92 GTS, but still wants to play all of today's games at the highest graphic settings.
9600gt's are good but they do not outperform the 8800ultra man. not to insult you but you really need to get your facts straight before coming and commenting on something.
the 9600gt is better man. nvidia came out with another 8800 gts that has a (g92) core. they thought you were talking about the new 8800 gts not the old one. so get the 9600gt, its better.
obviously you don't understand that its the cards architecture that makes all the difference. This card uses a faster core opposed to say a 8800 gt which even with its 64 stream processors makes it more than enough. It falls around 3-5 frames shorter than the 8800 gt for around at least $50 dollars less. I think thats very good performance for $. =p
Its possible if you use 1 row of a 3 way bridge and hack the nvidia gforce drivers. Even a Intel P35 chipset can do sli if the gforce drivers are hacked. All this is possible but its hacking the drivers that is very risky and will lead to dead GPUs if done incorrectly.Nothing is foolproof these days.
i got 2x superclocked gtx 280's in SLI runs every game at awesome fps waiting for nvidias DX11 cards hehe

it's the best value as fare as nividia, but the 3870 is worth the extra $20 as it supports quad crossfire whereas the 9600gt can only run dual sli.

Where abouts in Aus are you.
I've got 2 crossfire HD3850 rigs at the moment and am happy with it.
I would really like to 3 way sli the 8800GT or even 9600GT but as far as i know no drivers will make this work , so i guess it's time to wait.
Anyways happy playing with the 9600GT and don't forget to overclock the GT.
