I just recently received my MSI 7600GS (the 512Mb version was the only AGP version without a fan). Sure, it also gets hotter than I'd like - it was also reaching into the high 60's.

Furter more, I received a wrong version of the case I wanted (with no front intake) - so, I had to completely redesign my "air flow" strategy. But that made me take into account another issue: d...
