my boss got me a new Dell last week. He is prone to overkill. I'm not a "gamer", but I have this high end card regardless. It runs a Dell 30" monitor.
It is nvidia Quadro FX 3450. The cooling fan on it sounds like a buzz saw. I don't think I can stand it. What are my options? Or is it possible the unit is defective?
Constructive replies are appreciated!
TIA
too much noise from nvidia Quadro FX

While it is hig end that isn't a gaming card, it's a high end workstation card. And yes I have noticed the Quadro's cooling tend to be a bit noisier than the mainstream cards. You could always change the cooling as with any card but considering what high end Quadros usually cost ($1000-1300 here) I might wait till after the warranty expires.
