Hey guys,
Got some questions... not sure if anyone else has this card... but after getting it, I discovered that it's a lot louder than I originally expected.
I bought the card assuming that the Zalman vf700 cooler they attached would make this thing run near silent based on the reviews of the cooler by other users, but the fan spins so fast and loud... it's as loud as my old x800 series AGP card in my old system....
I understand that loudness is subjective... but I can't imagine watching a movie or something with this thing wooshing in the background. Is there any way to make the fan spin slower? Would that be a bad idea? Any programs to monitor temperature of the gpu as well?
Thanks for any advice!
