Hmm, my 9500GT was damn loud when I got it. download rivatuner
Find the Fan config on it, read some FAQs if you need more help.
Also, fill out your rig mate. And welcome to OCN!

in rivatuner click on the first diagonally facing arrow. then click on the picture of the video tape with the magnifying glass. a few statistics should be showing up in real time. one of the called core temp and another ambient temp.

EVGA fans from my experience are loud. My 260 is pretty loud. Use EVGA Precision to change fan speed. Its simpler and easier to use than Riva Tuner.

I have the 9800 GT from Evga. The only time I can hear my fan is when its at 100%. But it keeps it nice and cool for gaming.
