x1900xtx is generally too loud

[Pulsedriver]

Hi folks,

I just noticed, after playing 'Flatout' for about 5 minutes, the sound of the X1900XTX fan!

Its crazy! I looked on ATi CCC and it was @ 64 degrees.

This is a fault with these cards, im not usually one to pick at noise, but its a lot louder than my X850XT stock fan ever was.

Has anyone tried the VF900 with them yet? And are the any good?

Im hoping a proper sized arctic cooler comes out for it, not the accelero, just the normal one...

Blimey, went to change the DVI cable, and nearly burnt my hand! The heat coming out the back of these cards is ridiculous?!

Is the 7900GTX cooler?

My system temp is about 30/31, cpu temp 33 degrees.

But the X1900XTX is never below 45 degrees in Windows, and in games about 70+!

Im considering the Accelero cooler...
