Quadro FX 3000 - Any options to make it quieter?

[Msterbeau]

I've obtained an Quadro FX 3000 secondhand and installed it in my system. The noise is comparable to the 6800GT I had before, but I'd like to quiet it down since I've moved and the computer is in a location where I hear it more now. Are there any aftermarket cooling/fan solutions for the Quadro cards?

I would suggest the very same choices you might try for a 6800gt. BUT make sure you buy from a place with a liberial return policy.

I believe the 3000 series is the sibling to the 6800, hence....

I am not the expert but most professional cards closely mimick consumer cards in component placement and such to cut costs.

That's what I thought but I hadn't found a chart or info that showed which Quadro cards were related to which consumer/game cards.
