Thanks for that Matija.. I've not used RivaTuner before,..when you say you are using a fan speed table for the Sapphire card, does this mean you have the auto setting enabled to increase/decrease the fan speed dependent on load/ temperature? Are you able to manually set the speed/temperature setting...

I've read lots of ifs, buts and maybe's on whether the fan speed can be controlled on the HD 4670 and I'd really appreciate a definitive answer. I'm about to spring for a vanilla Sapphire HD 4670 and need to know if this can be done via CCC, RivaTuner or something else. I'm running WinXP. Anyone act...

Leifeinar... I'm glad to hear you are happy with your HIS card. That's certaintly the card I was drawn to due to its exhuast fan setup. I've read mixed reports , however, on the noise of the HIS card,... that it's not as quiet as the powercolor card and has a distinct hum to it. The HIS card would, ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from reading many reviews and comments on all the current 4670 cards now selling, it looks like none of them have fan speed control support either in the bios o...

For things already available, I'd go with HIS. All solid-state capacitors of good quality and a (reportedly) quiet exhaust type stock cooler. ASUS and Gigabyte haven't gotten theirs out yet but I'd assume Gigabyte's cooking up something good. I see that the Gigabyte HD4670, is now selling at Scan i...

Kriz, It looks like your 13W idle draw is a little higher that the charts in the reviews which seem to average out at about 10W. That maybe because of the small overclock on the HIS IceQ Turbo card. I fact I'm looking for that card over in the UK at the moment but can't see any availability yet. Cou...
