So I have the Powercolor 3870 PCS version (wanted to get the HIS IceQ 3 one, but couldnt). Anyway as what I have found that the fan (Zerotherm cooler) on the card runs 100% all times, no way to change. The sound of this 1 fan > than 3 120mm fans (on antec p182) + intel e8400 stock fan. Disconnected the gpu fan and the system was very quiet.

So is there any other gpu heatsinks that would/could be a better replacement and cools as good as the current one. (idle temps remain aroun 29C, load is not more than 50C.). Or should i be expecting ATI or Powercolor to update their drivers or something (from what i read in the forums). thanks
