I was looking at getting a second gtx 460

I came across thishttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ENGTX460-PCIE-1024-CO&cat=VCD

I can't find anything differnet vs the zotac or other brands. Besides only having 1 6 pin connector. Is there anything that makes this card worse than the a name brand card.

Any idea on how much hotter they run.

I know at 70 percent fans my zotac runs in the 40's

Is there any reason why you wouldn't get another Zotac, identical to the one you have? That generic brand looks "iffy." Not to say that it wouldn't work... it's just screams problems later down the road. I would get an EVGA or Gigabyte brand, even if they price difference is a bit more..

I think that website and picture are a bit misleading. Look at the model and part number, that "EN" ie: ENGTX460, is an Asus line up. IF that picture is correct, it could very well be the Asus board with a stock cooler. I'm not sure. But I am sure about the EN prefix.
