Default Is mine defective or are all HD 3850s like this?

I'm playing around with OCing my 3850, and the stock fan is unbelieveably loud! I have it set to 60% right now and it just manages to drown out the rest of my system, which is loud to begin with. At 100% its literally about on par with a vacuum cleaner.

I have my 3850 OC'd to 695/882 right now and its idling at 58'C. I looked at the 38x0 thread and for some people thats their load temps with a higher OC, so is there some kind of trick or did I just get a semi defective model?

The reference cooler is pretty loud at anything other than idle. The only thing you can do is get an aftermarket cooler, which will both make it quiet and provide better cooling.
