Thanks for posting this as it saved me the time in doing so.

When you consider that a mere over-clocked 8600 GT 256MB managed 175 degrees of heat over the weekend and this is over twice as fast for less than £15 more go and figure how hot this should be!
Benchmarks here - http://www.legitreviews.com/article/591/1/

A 300W power supply will be fine unless you have a monster over-clocked CPU but you will need a 6 pin PCIe power connector or adapter.

I agree, the 8600GT wasn't a hot deal for me, this card is way faster, or this
