The fact that graphics power and silent operation is not so easy to agree, it was clear from the outset. But after the read reviews about the supposedly quiet operation of this card, I was shocked once. This should be quiet ?? Compared to before my computer sounds at once, as if the same start in the jet operation on the moon. And even though I have just called the Desktop!
Fortunately, a software called was "Gigabyte OC Guru II" provided that quickly revealed the root of evil. Even at the lowest temperature, the fan runs at least 40%! Quickly changed some settings and now is really quiet! All is quiet in office mode as usual and playing the fan rotates from 50 ° C gradually getting higher. Then you can hear it, but that bothers me in anyway loud gamble a bit.
To power the card has I think been said enough. Battlefield 3 runs smoothly, so I'm completely satisfied!
As a tip maybe: googling before buying time for "AMD Never Settle".
