said by Fireblade:said by Matt:Anyway, I'm going to give your method a shot. The CCC allows me to adjust the fan all the way down to 30%. At 50%, noise is tolerable and temps hover around 50C without under clocking either the core or memory.
Damn, you can tolerate 50%?
I couldn't stand the stock fans on my 4890, I grabbed the Thermalright T-RAD2 /w a Noctua NF-S12B. Temperatures for the core hover around a cool 51C (That's at the lowest RPM fan speed), it's also dead silent, can't hear it unless I put my ear inches away from the cooler. Going to fetch you $44 for the cooler, $14 for the fan.
Hell ... no. Even at 50% I have to game with headphones on. Thanks for the tip, I'll pick those up as this has been keeping me from playing games. Guess that is what I get for not researching noise levels before buying a new card?
