Perhaps using another server will lure more users to the channel.

serenia.net has 89 users compared to 70 239 for the biggest server network quakenet.

I use RivaTuner to change the fan profile, and for desktop work it's running at 22%, which is 750rpm, and almost inaudible I use the stock cooler too on my HIS Radeon 5770. The slowest speed is 900 rpm (20%) which is fairly silent. I use MSI Afterburner to calibrate the fan-speed ramp-up. I've also...

I've decided to stick this channel in my auto-join. Seems floffe's got it in his auto-join as well. Anyone care to join us?

I placed it in my auto-join as well. It's me and floffe in there now.

I don't know what else to tell you; I don't have a table of NVidia card manufacturers and their GPU BIOS controls / fan characteristics. 8) From my research, it seemed that if the GPU cooler LOOKED like the stock cooler, it almost certainly was. My EVGA even seems to be a "bad egg" with its slight ...

I don't know about that. I assume if it's a "stock cooler" the controls and performance are going to be similar, if not identical. Perhaps, or perhaps not. I could use more information about the fan control chip. The first thing I want to know is if I can turn down the fan a lot. Because then I can...

Thanks

The best you would be able to do is get a stepped effect, with a fan speed drop or rise as temperature passes a defined threshold. Thanks. That should do. I've also read that these manual fan speed settings only result in about three or four different fans speeds. (While the automatic fan speed on ...

If you are OK with a GTX 260, you might be OK with the stock cooler. For instance, have you seen SPCR's review of the Asus GTX 260 ? They measured 12db at idle and 17db at 50%. ... And if your sample is like SPCR's Asus 260, it would be plenty quiet at any normal usage too :) That's my concern. I d...

I'm not sure about the 5770 cards, but this 4850 is silent. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125258 Thanks. I'll consider that one. I wouldn't mind one with a fan either if it's low-speed and practically inaudible, and connected with rubber fan isolators. But the current Rad...

I know this is late for JamieT, but this GTX 260 216 sp looks fairly quiet - certainly much quieter than any of the stock or aftermarket coolers on GTX 200 series that I've seen measurements for: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Inno3D/iChill_GTX_260/28.html Too bad it can't be bought anymore. It...

I'm asking the same question for ATI cards as for Nvidia cards. I'm looking for the most silent stock cooler card. I'm primarily interested in a 5770 card, but I could consider a 4850 card too if it's more silent.

Is there an equivalent of the TechPowerUp Radeon Bios Editor Threshold / Transfer Function Fan Settings for GeForce cards. That allows a modification of the automatic mode, a linear increase in fan speeds from 0% to 100% at specific temperatures. I have not seen this option in the Nvidia System Tool...

The Fan does run 100% all the time but not because it's 2 wire but because Gigabyte saved money by not having fan control hardware on board. That's good to know. I don't want a card without fan control. Then I won't know if I could run it slower at least when it's idle. If you go up to 260, then th...

I'm looking to buy a GeForce 200 Series card. Most likely a GTS 250 to GTX 275 card. Which stock cooler is the least noisy? Noise measurements is a little hard to come by in their own specifications.
