I recently bought a PowerColor X850 XT and have found it a fab card up until tonight. I installed and started playing Star Wars Battlefront 2, after playing for a couple of hours the fan started making a hell of a noise. Not a broken noise, just loud :p

Temps on the card were around 62C while playing (42C idle). Is this card normally as noisy as this on intensive games? It's just this is the first time its been so loud or gotten quite as hot.

It's @ stock btw.

Zeph.
 
I'll have a look at Ati Tool to see if i can tweak the speeds as you guys have suggested, cheers. Failing that i could stick the tower in the mini fridge under my desk, i'm sure it would look good next to the Coors ;)
