Anyone knows how much power 8800 GTS (320mb) draws?

Two days old experience with one newly built PC.

Club3D 8800GTS|320MB / Asus P5B-E / 2x1GB Apacher DDR2 / Core2Duo E6600 / Seagate 320GB SATA2 / Samsung DVDRW / Arctic Silentium PRO 500W 80+ / Windows XP

Startup power: 192W
Idle power: 150-155W (XP desktop w/o HDD activity)
Max power: 255W (3Dmark05, 06, some gaming)

Power was measured at power outlet (230V AC) just for PC (not monitor). All hardware was run on default settings, no over/underclocking.

~8A in full-load in DX9.

How did you derive 8A out of that chart?

How loud is the stock fan on your 8800GTS, in comparison to other noise sources in the case?

Heh, combined with this chart.

15W more than a 7900GTX, that means ~100W for 8800GTS in full-load.
And I have a measurement from a guy with 2 x 8800GTS 640 in SLI and peak consumption from video cards was 15A.

The loudest one. Unfortunately we played with this system in noisy room, thereby I can't say that for sure.

Arctic Silentium itself is relatively quiet. His upper exhaust (2x80mm Arctic fans) generated some noise too, but this was somewhat nicer to hear. Lower exhaust (through PSU) was almost inaudible. Cannot say anything about intake (CPU duct) and CPU cooler noise - intake is located at back and is quieter than 8800GTS or exhaust fans.
