Hi

I'm beginning to get very annoyed with this card. I can't seem to get the fan to be near silent when not in 3D mode (for example during desktop usage).

With Nvidia cards, the fan only kicks in when starting a 3D app, but in desktop use, it remains quiet, despite the slider set at 29-30.

With the 3870, the fan kicks in every 5 minutes or so, then quietens down after a couple of minutes.

Could some advice be given as to how to tame the fan please?

Thanks

Can't you reduce the fan speed in Catalyst?

If not, the only way to get quieter fans would be to replace the stock fans with an aftermarket cooler.

As a last resort, there is always water cooling.

Set it at %60 fan speed in C.C.
