    Hi all,

    I have got a sapphire radeon 9600xt 256mb gfx card. The current fan that I have seems to making a right noise! Does anyone know the dB noise of the standard fan? Can anyone recommend any other good cooling solutions for my 9600xt? Bare in mind I'd rather have a fan than heatsink and it has to fit inside my shuttle. Cheers. :D

    one of the arctic cooling ati silencers. I think youll need either no.1 or 2, cant remember, but they have very low dBa, and cool soo much better than the stock crap.. also get arctic silver 5, its a thermal compound, the best there is

    I'm guessing a 30dBA fan is quite loud?

    30dB is equivalent to a quiet whisper at 3 feet. Source
