My new 8800 GTS Is huge. It's blocking one of my pci slots. With 3 total
on the MB And one being used, I have just one left which I'm going to use
shortly. I take it if I were to remove the fan and use some heat sink-fan
combo the warranty will be void. Am I correct ? The size is way over kill.

Any help with this problem ?

TIA...

The 8800 series use a combo of heatpipes and fan to cool. You would have to
remove all of it and I doubt any aftermarket solution is going to help you
very much. The current design is very quiet and efficient. I use a couple of
8800 GTX cards in SLI and I still only lose one PCI slot out of two on a
680i board.
