Hello,

Does anyone know of a Good, Quiet, Single Slot VGA Cooler that will fit a ATI 4670 Video Card ?
One that will also not extend past the length of the card because their is no room in my case.

OR

The reason I am asking is because I recently purchased a Biostar ATI 4670 Video Card. The fan on it is so loud because it is always running at 100%. When you go into CCC & reduce the fan speed down it does not change. I researched for hours today & it seems because it has a 2 pin Power connector not 3 so therefor all the utilities wont work to reduce the fan speed. Yes I have the latest Drivers, BIOS, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Jeff

That's weird... the 4670 is known for being quiet. Where did you buy the card?

o.Oa...never heard a 4670 begin noisy..
I just purchase one for my clients...and I didn't heard anything if the casing is under the desk..
You can try 9600GT single slot..the OEM design..like zotac...i think the normal version of those are using single slot coolers..
