The Asus ENGTX285 did what it was supposed to do, become the fastest single GPU run through the OverclockersClub suite of gaming benchmarks. Other than an anomaly in BioShock, this card ran faster than the
competition. It should have, it is after all an overclocked version of the GTX 285. The fan seemed to be not as loud as in the past but it could be just my old ears not hearing as well as they once did. When the driver controlled the fan speeds I had an idle temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a load of 78 Celsius, both pretty good temperatures for a high end card. Much better than the ATI barn burners when the fans are driver controlled. When I moved the fan to 85% the idle temperature dropped by one degree Celsius while the load temperature dropped an amazing 31 Celsius under load to 47C.
