Yeah so I usually like my passive heatsink-based graphics cards. I'm not obsessed by benchmarks, shootup games or the like so I'm happy to sacrifice power for the silence... although that said I do have new fans that are perversely low-noise but sound like jet engines- actually maybe that might be the cpu fan. I'm not sure, they're all a month or so old now.
