Hiya guys,
I've got a very nice Sparkle 512mb Geforce 6600LE here, but it has one very nasty little 'bug'?- Until it warms up at bootup (Approx 1 min), I get an unpleasant noise from the fan. Not sure if this has always been the case, but I only noticed it when I replaced the PSU with a much quieter model. When running, the noise level is perfectly acceptable, but if it will go quieter it would be nice
Basically, this means I'm looking at one of several things-
1. RMA the card for one which doesn't do this.
2. Ignore it
(No idea if this is stocking up for later problems though!)
3. Replace the cooler with something else- I was thinking the Zalman VF900, have heard too many bad things about the NV silencers. (Any idea if OCUK are going to be getting these?, or for that matter the VF700?)
This brings its own set of problems though, as I seem unable to find a reliable source of info on the card- This is what I have-

Color is slightly different but still
Anyone with any thoughts?
