Hi All,

My current graphics card is an XFX 6850, 1GB DDR5, 256-bit. The thing is the fan of this card is loud, really. I tried updating the BIOS, even installed MSI's Afterbunner, but it keeps screaming like a hair dryer. Is there anyway to make it a little less painful?

The model of card is HD-6850-ZN

Thank you in advance.

I'm really considering selling on e-bay and putting my old 5670 back. After all, I hope to put together an IB soon. If any of you guys are willing to buy and 6000 series, puhhh lease don't ever buy the XFX. It's a laundry machine inside your case 24/7. :-/

Thank you dude and blade.

huh i found CCC to be no good for fan speed control. it's gotten a tad better after I installed Afterbunner, but as dude said, i believe it has to do with the fan XFX chose to use for this card, which is just awfully loud.
