HI,
I recently bought a Palit 780 ti jetstream.
The minimum fan speed is locked to 48% (approx. 1100rpm), inexplicably higher than the nvidia's 43% reference value despite the improved cooling. This puts the card the wrong side of inaudible at idle. I've edited the bios using Kepler Bios Tweaker to reduce the fan control range and flashed the update (checking the update was successful with gpu-z). However, the minimum fan speed is still 48%. Anyone have any ideas?

Typically non-reference coolers will reduce noise in addition to reducing temperatures (as this cooler was shown to do in every review). However this minimum fan speed is excessive and appears to have been changed since review copies were shipped.
