Apologies beforehand if this has been asked to death before: My case is the Silverstone Raven 02-E, which I love since the airflow is superb and it's extremely silent. I'm thinking of switching over to a HD6990 card, since the price of it (the Club 3D one) has dropped alot, making it a very attractive purchase.
Now, I'm not gonna watercool it or buy the custom Arctic fans. What I'm interested in is the noise I can expect from it, given my Raven case. I've read and heard all about the extreme noise coming from it when your'ree playing games, and that's the reason I'm still hestitent. I don't mind some noise, but judging from the sound videos, it's a turbo engine under load.
Does anyone run this card with the stock cooler, preferably in the Raven 02-E case who can share his/her opinion about the noise?
Kind regards,
Zaph
